In my youth, I worked for a short time in a bat gauno mine. If I never see

Thanks so much for that disturbing imagry. :-(
Over the years I've found that some folks have amazingly low taste,

I truly apologize. I thought I could post it here - like making a
confession at an AA meeting or something - and somehow that would make
it alright. {sob} I'm sorry!
*******************************************************************************************
Look - there's some things you can apologize for and be forgiven. Then,
there's some things that ya can't. It's sorta like getting forgiven for
screwing a guy's wife. It can all be forgiven... unless he married your
sister. Some thing's just can't be forgiven. Not even in the spirit of an
AA confession. Sometimes you just have to bear the title of a dog. But
only for a while...

Exactly. It's like one of those NEXT BIG THING ideas you get when
you're three sheets to the wind one night and brainstorming with your
equally drunk buddies, write it down, and the next morning you're
saying, WTF?! Usually these things are self-censored before going

Haven't you noticed that many people are using, and think that, Shaker style
furniture is a contemporary design. It actually fits in well with most
modern decor.

I know where you are coming from, brother. When I saw that I thought
it was a Photoshopped joke and thought it was funny, then I read the
article and I felt like I had been kicked in the balls...only thing is

A really nice job picking a wood (for the traditional side) with grain that
shouts over the whispers of the delicate carving.
Horrid.

It looks to me like a very clumsy and laboured attempt to be witty and
attract attention.
But then there's plenty of that about in other spheres of activity.

No, Mike, that was me -- revisit the site, and look at comment #4. :-)
Looking at the site again, I was struck by the similarity between the
first name of the creator of that abomination (Feruccio) and the German word
verrueckt (German v is pronounced like English f).
Verrueckt means "crazy".
I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

I'm remembering my first big project, doing trim in a $3,000,000 house. The basement was a full bar. I asked if the outlet over the bar was for a TV.
"Nope. A big-screen TV goes on the other wall."
"What's the outlet for, then?"
"Oh, that's for the stuffed buffalo head. It's eyes light up."
Suddenly the chandelier made out of a wagon wheel and Winchester rifles didn't seem so bad....

Living in the era of contemporary design and architecture, people sometimes
need to look back (look, yes, but stop short of creating abominations) in
(the) past and come up with very fresh conventional (name one thing
conventinal about this piece) things. Things like this "Evolution" dresser
by Ferruccio Laviani (for Emmemobili), that has been concerted as the
evolution (if this is evolution, we're all doomed) of conventionality to
progressiveness. Beautifully hand-carved from oak wood (the worst choice
possible for the medium), the conventional side conserves a high detailed
carving on every inch (every inch? are you serious? the side is mostly
blank, the grain of the oaks hides nearly all of the carving) it holds, and
to balance it up (balance? what friggin balance?), the progressive side
offers a linear intelligent (intelligent... wouldn't have been my first
choice of words) design that adds a bit (?????)of modern. A great (read:
awful) concept wrapped in functionality, don't you think? (nope, I don't,
and neither did the designer) - via
