Hot or Not?: Seat Made For a Man

08.16.stool.jpg

There's an obvious answer to this, right? The sort of crude nature of this seat made for a man is made up for in what appears to be really great craft. What do you think?

with a little concentration this COULD look like a halved apple - viewed upside down.. you can see the apple seeds there in the lower center portion and the indentation at the (*ahem*) base looks like the stem. otherwise, nasty!

Hahaha oh man. Brilliant. Just make sure to hide it before the parents come to visit.

It would be humorous to watch someone wriggle to try get the pieces to line up. Something tells me this was a one off from a perverted word worker's garage sale.

This is extremely stupid! Just try to sit on this thing and align all the parts!

Landing a 737 on an aircraft carrier would be easier!

well, for the s/m set, I should think. How do they figure out how to make sure the, uh, hollows fit?

I wonder if the maker takes custom orders. You'd have to sit on a photocopy machine and send in the image.

Reminds me of truck nuts. I'd like to keep a few pairs of truck nuts in my trunk so that I can slap them on the cars of people I'm not fond of.

...but it does make me chuckle a little bit. chuckle and vomit. up chuckle, i guess.

I Love Upstate...finally, someone mentions those things off trailer hitches...is that what you are referring to by "truck nuts"? What is the deal with those? Those hanging, flesh colored plastic things???

P-Too....chip, dip and ottoman...*loud applause*

Lisa - Yes, truck nuts! So gross! So nasty! So Stupid! And yet, I hysterically laugh (at the driver) when I see them.

The next time someone in a $100K SUV cuts me off I want to follow them and then "truck nut'em".

My sister gave her husband some truck nuts back when they were dating, I guess as inspiration for him to "grow a pair" and ask her to marry him. Somehow this story made it into their wedding vows. Try explaining that one to grandma.

Art, yes, I can see that puppy! I looked up those truck nuts. They look like some terrible accident happened. They don't look in the slightest way like a vehicle part to my imagination.

I'm not wild about the actual piece, but it certainly brought out the creativity in AT readers - far more delightful reading comments than the quick glance at the work in question. And "up chuckle" is a brilliant creation - congrats!

I didn't see any information about this stool, even in the links, but it looks very early 1970's. pieces related to sex and sexual parts were part of the art scene back then.

Since it's wood, and would need to be cared for properly, there's a tung oil joke here but I am not going to make it.

P2, it is indeed wood, but I believe the more pertinent questions is hardwood or soft?

I googled "truck nuts" and read about the congressman who want to ban them... I'm still trying to understand the allura of it.

And my poor english doesn't allow me to understand the inuendo in P2's reference to the ottoman.

I'd never heard of, let alone seen, truck nuts before my KS adventure. Even funnier are the poor mens' truck nuts - two tennis balls stuffed in a tube sock.

For anyone who thinks "truck nuts" are remotely amusing -- imagine the mother whose 6-year-old daughter grabbed a pair hanging from the back of a Chevy Suburban in a parking lot and asked (with them in her hand) "Mom, what's this?). This actually happened to a co-worker of mine -- which is how I was first introduced to "truck nuts".
