Rear Admirals!
Hello friends. I need a favor!
Can you guys send me, or post below, a picture of the chair you sit on or a particularly ugly or awful chair in your office/home. I’d rather the picture be taken with a regular camera and NOT from a cell phone. It’ll be for a blog post I’m doing for Emeco. Your butt does not have to be included in the chair. Although if your butt is included I will not turn it away. I would never turn away free ass ha ha ha. “But,” I’d like to survey everyone’s chairs. My chair at work is, much like Goldilocks, too big and too hard. That might be the only time too big and too hard is a problem. INNUENDO! IN YOUR ENDO! Oh god how do I do it? A mystery. Anyway, yes, a picture of your chair please! You can email it to me at annie at annietown. My point is that every chair sucks. There is no such thing as “just right.” Goldilocks was stupid. YEAH YOU HEAR THAT GOLDILOCKS? YOU SUCK.
In other news, I have yet another song in my head. It’s a local Los Angeles/Orange County commercial for a car dealership:
Well, you won’t get a lemon!
(I would’ve got a lemon?!?)
At Toyota of Orange!
Angelenos will know it well. This commercial and the one with Cal Worthington and his dog Spot (which is NEVER EVER a dog, but like elephants and giraffes or whatever) are among my favorites. Also I like the Pete Ellis Dodge, Long Beach Freeway/Firestone Exit/Southgate commercial. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love me some car jingles.
I also have “Build Me Up, Buttercup” stuck in my head. I’m a mess! A mess!
i have corningware comercial song in my head.
“from the freezer, to the oven, to the table…” *repeat thousand times -.-”
i have an ugly-plastic-chair as my home office chair. does that count?

Do you need an updated photo? This is what it looked like in a not yet finished shop before my ass was on it every day for a year and a half. I’ve most certainly left a dent now. As for my ass in the shot with the chair… I charge extra for that.;)
I don’t think I have any ugly chairs although I may have to “stay late” one afternoon and be all ninja-like so I can take a picture of my co-worker’s chair. It’s pretty hideous.
Thankfully, I live in Florida and know not of your jingles although we have plenty of our own catchy tunes. Car dealerships really have the best ones. As if it will somehow make you want to buy their top-of-the-line model fully optioned out or something.
(Brainwashing? Maybe!)
Damm-it! I’m not pack’n a pixel maker today……annie if you gotta a little mo time before the Emeco bosses discover Goldilocks been messing with their shit and you have n’t finished your post, I be glad to share some chair ugly later.
Did some one say “every chair sucks”? …yes, that’s because chairs, like romantic relationships, eventually make you pick between style and comfort……it’s hard to be faithful to just one chair!
OK, maybe there is no such thing as “just right.” but check these porta-comfortable seating devices come pretty close: http://www.insecurespaces.net/archisuits.html#
P.S. Pete Ellis Dodge went outta business along the 710 LB Freezeway a while back, but I’m pretty sure Pete would be very GLAD to know his jingle lives on!
Hey annie! I sent some pics to annietown, but I think my 10 megapixel pics keep getting rejected by the annietown border officials! So I sent them to your yahoo email. I love your emeco stuff by the way
Mardie: I most especially want an ugly plastic chair.
Erin: AWESOME. Yes that is what I want. You might win for most ‘stylin’ chair. But I recall I need a step stool to climb into that thing.
Steen: YES please give me your coworker’s chair. No names will be used.
JOn: Gimme your ugly chair!
Ramon: Thanks! I received them. They are very nice but I’m not sure if I’d want to park my ass in them for 12 hours straight, but I wouldn’t park it anywhere 12 hours straight.
I am not back into the office till friday but I will get a pic for you
Dude, I don’t want to be a dick, but I’m fucking drunk as fuck so whatever. Can I just say something? If some asshole is charging two THOUSAND DOLLARS for a chair, that should include a fee of me getting to shit in their mouth. I’m totally serious. These people know that you can sit on other things, right? Like, things that are free; the floor, a table, another “non-two-thousand-dollar” chair. Right? I mean, that is completely insane. 1400 dollars? And it doesn’t even blow you or slide a tongue across your pink parts? That is fucking embarrassing. I am embarrassed for those assholes and their shitty chair company they have going.
Let me say something right now; If I met those fuckers, I’d be like “what do you do?”, and they would be like “we make things that elevate your butt 14 more inches higher than sitting on the floor” and I’d be all like “hey, that sounds cool, how much do you charge?” and they’d be like “1400 dollars american” and then I would say nothing but instead would hold them down and lay a turd right across their lips. Seriously. That website is a sick joke. I am fucking upset right now and this Jack Daniels is not helping. Or maybe it is.
I’m going to go light something on fire.
Unfortunately, Aaron, I suspect shitting in their mouths costs extra. But that don’t mean it isn’t an available option.
Sending a chair shot. But thank you for reminding me about “Go See” Cal. Here’s a 3-minute sequence featuring lots of “Dog Spots” and maybe the first complete version of the “Go See Cal” song I’ve heard.
What that’s you say? FREE EMECO CHAIRS for everyone who sends you a picture of their office chair? Really? That’s great. I could REALLY use a new office chair.
Oh… no? I read the post wrong? Oh. Sorry…. my bad.
So… no free chair?
My favorite LA car commercial is the Korean one for Grace Lee @ Midway Ford. You’d think after about 10, 15 years, they’d give her a new commercial with some updated hair. Unless she still wears her hair like that. Which is scary.
PEdro: Sweet!
Aaron: This chair would blow your MIND right into your ass.
RT: Yeah everyone gets a free chair. Everyone!
Grace: OH man that’s a good Halloween costume!
Annie,
This is Berkeley & San Fernando Eddie. Congrats on the book! Are those your actual feet photographed on the cover? You miss the LA life at all? Oh, do you still have my jacket I lent you by chance? hahaha.
Holy Shit, Eddie!!!!!! Dude, WTF! How are you? I haven’t seen you in like…10 years. More? Maybe more. 1. That is NOT my feet. Those are like manfeet. But actually they are regular feet, it’s the cake that’s small. Seriously. Long story. But they are not my feet. ALSO You know I moved your fucking jacket across the country, then through 2 apartments in Boston, and then to NYC…and that’s where I lost track of it. But I will buy you a new jacket, ten years later.
Haha- no need for a new jacket. Dude, I’m not hunting you down for the jacket- Just wanted to drop you a line. I moved back down to So Cal after SF/Berkeley- so I won’t have need for a jacket ever again. At least I hope you got some use out of it.
Yep- around 10 yrs… you know, because we’re ‘adults’ now. Haha. I’m watching my spelling because you’re an author now.
I was suspicious about the feet- I’ve seen your feet before… How’s your fam… maybe I gotta actually pick up the book. Then maybe I can figure you out- well at least get you some royalties. Aren’t you a bit young for a memoire?
is it too late to email the chair pic. does it have to be work chair or just any chair that i place my ass on?
I heart all my chairs. on a totally unrelated (mostly) note: a jingle most new yorkers will remember: Crrraaazzy Eddie!
