That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 15, 2021

This always happens when Aunt Bertha visits.

Now he can sit and do his business while he’s doing his business.

He had started when he was in kindergarten. Whenever aunt Bertha came to visit, Larry would leave needles sticking up out of the guest chair. So far, they had failed to penetrate her thick skirts.

The nice thing about leprechauns was that they weren’t protected by minimum wage laws: they would work, repairing the furniture, for just a loaf of bread and bowl of milk.

Something wicker this way comes.

First draft of the inside toilet, bigger hole needed…

Something wicker this way comes./John made it with two crooked thumbs./If Aunt Mae sits upon this seat,/Her larden arse the ground will meet.

Reminds me of one of my underwater basket-weaving lab students.

tom waits getting up close and friendly with a chair…

Karate, the hard way.

I would’ve said Willam Dafoe.

Riddle: Why is this chair like a British “private school” boy ? Answer: it’s getting a good “caning”.

Here’s Abel. He’s somewhat insane./He murdered six women in Spain./ He’s far too unstable/ to join us at table../but Abel’s a genius with cane !

I never imagined The Wicker Man would seem so benign – nor industrious.

Except that’s Butch from the Little Rascals.

That one Potato Eater, working off his cup of tea.

What happens if I smash an egg on a wicker chair?

Now that Jacob had almost finished repairing the chair with cane and hemp rope, he was going to join the artist and smoke a bowl. Things seemed to always get a little out of focus after burning some of that hemp.

Not what he expected when the judge sentenced him to a caning.

These IKEA furniture kits just keep getting more complicated!

Artist at art supply shop: “I’d like to buy another tube of brown.”

He muttered to himself, “I’m sick of people calling me Red.”

“I wonder what would happen if I left the needle sticking up here when my mother-in-law comes.”

He is thinking ahead to the completion of his queening chair.

Riddle: why is this chair like the Trump Regime ? Answer: There’s no bottom to it !

Chair bottomer?!! Really! Very creepy! Well, I hope I never see a chair topperer.

The artist was going to do a self-portrait. But he had to fix his chair and . . . wouldn’t you know it!

Morrice, having found that pooping over a downed tree wasn’t was good or fun as his idea for this chair. his aim just has to be a bit better.

Dang it! Now was I doing the bamboo stitch, or the Purl Ridge stitch? … Now I have to start over.

… when you are so hungry that you chewed on shoe leather, and it wasn’t enough.

Poor prop guy who had to repair the chair used in the 007 movie with the knotted rope. Most men cringed during that scene.

The worst scene from Being John Malcovich.

Steve, I would love to see you take a stab at:
