The musical version of the chair was quite entertaining. The film version, not so much. The electrical version was a killer. Stay with the analog version.
Ippolit Matveyevich Vorobyaninov, having finally found the twelfth chair he sought as empty of the concealed family treasure, considered leaping into Oblivion … but figured he’d sell the story for a book about it, instead.
The Siege Perilous was a chair at the Round Table. It was reserved for whomever was able to bring back the Holy Grail. Or, in this case, the Super-sized Pickle Candy Cane said to have been left on the sideboard at the Last Supper.
Da-mned! I just knew I should have brought that collapsible chair! Now I have to find a crate or log or whatever……I’m running out of patience out sittting the enemy.
He has met the enemy, and it is he. The abyss precipice, one would be remiss to dismiss ones fears with a hiss, better to embrace the liminal space with a kiss.

His endgame: to cry “Time out!” and force his enemy to stand in the corner.

Here, there and everywhere. But especially there where there is a chair.

Beyond the Blue Horizon
Awaits yet another day.
Ennui and Weltschmerz bore me,
Mere Existentialism is in store for me.

I stand not expecting Wisdom
Such Zen Help is not bound to come
Beyond the bland Blue Smog, is Life’s Sum:
A Violet light and Hummmmm …?

…the precipice between inner and outer Froglandia is the most beautiful thing ever…
…some compare it to the precipice between life and death…
…but instead of having to pick…
…Indiana Jones style…
…the correct chalice…
…you get to pick your forever chair…
…there are 23 styles…
…and 14 colors to choose from…
…[including plaid-15!]…
…to the surprise of some…
…many choose a bidet…
…with some only coming with cold water…
…it’s a strange place…
…this twilight zone between inner and outer Froglandia…
…like the Bermuda Triangle…
…or the English Channel…
…or the Halmark Channel after the Christmas season…
…
…I don’t know, Joe…
…the premise is kinda out there…
…would people really watch a show about pickinga chair?…
…George…
…they watch, Ghosts, don’t they?…
…both the BBC & the CBS versions!?!…
…hmmm…
…good point…

He would not sully that greatcoat by sitting in a chair. His enemy knows that and remains patient. There will come a day of casual attire.

I don’t like standing on the edge of a cliff, because it feels like the force of gravity is trying to suck me over the edge.

…Captain Hook…
…[retired]…
…just wanted a seat at the table…
…it seemed rich children could achieve fame & fortune…
…just by being young, glamorous and children of powerful parents…
…princesses …
…as if being rich & beautiful was a super power or something…
…millions of kid grew up poor…
…given dreams of frilly nonsense…
…but if Peter Pan taught him anything…
…that it was the poor that were the happiest…
…and that though changed his life…
…life wasn’t about knickknacks…
…chasing the golden ring…
…but being free in your mind…
…whether you were persecuted or spoiled…
…that’s why Hook became a jeeholy witness…
…and knocked on doors…
…and though he didn’t believe in Christmas…
…that Christmas bonus money would come in handy…
