Needed: A comfy chair

Some time ago I promised the good people in alt.fan.monty-python an ascii
comfy chair.  "How hard could that be?" I asked myself.  Several artistic
attempts and several monstrosities later, I thought I would come over here
and fall on your tender mercies and beg for a chair. Plead. Snivel.

Why should you do this for me? I have absolutely no idea...I just noticed
that everyone else was asking.

Come to think of it, I don't see one post that says "Thank you for the..."?

(Looks around for something to trade).  Ah, here, a copy of "Doomsman" by
Harlan Ellison, in a Belmont/Tower Science Fiction Double with Lin
Carter's "The Thief of Thoth". I adore Harlan Ellison's writing, but I
don't think this book was his best work.  Apparently he shares the
opinion, because I am told that if you offer the book to him to autograph
he tears it up and throws it away.  I was saving it for the experiment,
but for the first satisfactory* comfy chair offered before 4-30-96 I will
send you this book (worth $12/or worth the fun of watching it be torn
up....).

*I'm not that fussy - a bit of upholstery, some comfortable
pillows...that's all I ask.

Well, here goes my first attempt ever at ascii art.....  Doesn't _look_
particularly comfy.  :<  Feel free to hack it, though.

Thank you! Wow!  When I checked my mail I found I had a whole room of
furniture; however, so far no one has opted for the Ellison, so if you
want it, just e-mail the address you want it sent to.

Tum de dum de dum de dum.  I am *so* happy!
