Sep 1 2009 It's No Wrist Rest: The Computer Key Seat
Don't smile at me like that! I can tell these $125 computer key seats have been around for a while because of the '© 2004' text in the image. What can I say, I'm observant. Hey -- I saw that! Anyway, this was the first time I'd seen these chairs so they're new to me. If they're not new to you, congratulations, you've been around the block (internet whore).
This unique stool is a great low-tech item for any computer geek. Insert this eye-catching seat in the dorm, game room or even an internet café . The contoured shape holds your backspace just like your finger rests in a key. Measures 22 inches square and 15 inches high and has 'sit' printed on the top. We also offer to customize these stools with your own message or logo.
Yes, but I want mine to be a delete key. Get it? Because I want to delete my fat ass! I heard you want an insert. HIYO!
Thanks to Kristin, who wants an escape.
Aug 11 2009 Questionable: The Personal Rockin' Computer
The PRC chair allegedly stands for Personal Rockin' Computer. But how on earth you would ever use a computer in that thing is beyond me. I mean, I couldn't even comfortably fry my nuts with a laptop in it. Plus, it costs a staggering $4,200. Can you say, "tractor tire"? Because I can. No, I'm fairly confident this thing is a glorified sex swing for the rich. Seriously, just look at that provocative tart in the picture. She definitely only knows one kind of hard drive and RAM if you ask me. Gosh what a hussy (let me get those digits, girl).
Jul 27 2009 Do It Yourself Aftermarket Motorcycle Seat
People's ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Take this custom motorcycle seat for instance. Just imagine the lumbar support! But the question remains: is there enough room to add a baby seat? BECAUSE MY BABY WAS BORN TO RIDE! And by 'my baby' I mean I sit with a hot computer in my lap for 14 hours a day. There are no survivors.

May 31 2009 Sweet!: Plant Some Trees, Grow A Chair
The Growing Chair is a clear plastic frame in which you grow trees to form a seat shape so that, in your old age, you can sit around drinking moonshine and reminiscing on the days when you had to use power tools to make a chair (or were Amish). Personally, I love the idea BECAUSE I AM ONE WITH GAIA. And by one with Gaia I mean a nudist. Except I wear jean shorts.

May 7 2009 FAKE: Shadow Chair's Shadows Are All Wrong
The $1,050 Shadow Chair may appear to defy the laws of decency, but it's actually not. IT'S A TRAP TRICK! SPOILER ALERT: The shadow is actually part of the chair's frame. HIYO -- I bet you didn't see that coming, did you? You did? Oh, well aren't you just the little Sherlock Geekologie Reader!? Well riddle me this then: if a train departs Washington DC traveling north at 60 MPH, and another one leaves NYC going south at 55 MPH, does anyone get groped on the subway in Japan? Probably -- and that's just wrong.

Mar 31 2009 Man Scores DUI On Homemade Barstool Kart
Kile Wygle (awesome name), 28, recently received a DUI after crashing his homemade bar-stool kart (pictured) and calling 911.
Kile crashed his bar stool near his Newark home earlier this month and called 911 due to his injuries. When an officer arrived and asked Wygle what happened, he answered, "I wrecked my bar stool." According to a Newark Police Division report, a copy of which you'll find here, Wygle's homemade ride is powered by a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine. Wygle noted that the bar stool could hit nearly 40 miles per hour, but that he was only going 20 when he wiped out late in the afternoon on March 4 (a witness told police that he spotted someone driving a "strange motorized machine" before the crash). A plastered Wygle, who failed a series of field sobriety tests, was charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license, both misdemeanors. His bar stool was not impounded.
Damnit Kile, why'd you have to go and call the cops? You should have just brushed yourself off and then popped wheelies all the way home. You could have been Rad to the power of Sick! But nooooo. Now you're just DUI to the power of APB: Kile's riding his bar-stool drunk again. You failure.

Oct 20 2008 Pouf-Man Chairs: Pac-Man's Bastard Brother
Design house QAYOT designed these Pouf-Man chairs. And I use "designed" loosely, since they're obviously freaking Pac-Man. Available in red, white, black and brown, the chairs are sure to liven up your rumpus rooom with a little video gamey flair. No word on price though, and the company makes no guarantee Pouf-Man won't munch the carpet.
Hit it for a few more of different seating possibilities.

Aug 19 2008 Get Your Own Star Trek Captain's Chair
Looking for a way to flaunt authority in your household? How about a replica command chair from the original Star Trek series? Available for shipping in 2009, the chair will sell for around $1,000 and include lights and buttons and shit. I'm totally getting one.
UPDATE, 2009: Captain's log: a floater, almost takes up the whole bowl. Somebody take a picture of this thing. What do all these buttons do again? Which one do I mash to shoot photon beams? BEEP BOOP. Haha, choke on that, Khan. Now, somebody get some damn space wenches in here. The ones with spikey ears. Oh, and one with a ridge head, you know -- looks like a mountain range. Quickly, like warp speed -- and install a levitating stripper pole. In the meantime: Beam me up, Scotty. I'm talking Jim Beam, damnit, no ice. Here, you can use the same glass. The captain gets what he wants! Well I'm in the chair, aren't I? Mutiny my ass, I'll kill you all. PEW PEW, bitches, PEW PEW!

Jun 30 2008 How Romantic: Dinner In The Sky
Dinner In The Sky is just that -- eating while suspended 164 feet in the air via crane. The table sits 22 people and three staff in the middle. The company will hoist you anywhere they can get a permit, and the service probably costs a freaking fortune. They'll even hoist another platform to the same height if you want live music available. And, now don't tell them I told you, but if you enter coupon code 'Hovering Hooters' while ordering on the website they'll even send a few strippers up. The service is available for 8-hour sessions and I have no idea how you relieve yourself after guzzling three bottles of wine up there. But, if I had to guess, I'd say the same way you normally would -- but with real people instead of a urinal cake for target practice.

Apr 11 2008 My Childhood Sucked Without The NapTV
NapTV is a little stool with a flatscreen built into the underside you can lie underneath it and watch cartoons before your afternoon nap. It is pretty much the awesomest damn thing I've ever set my eyes on. I love how in the picture they show a kid sitting on top reading a book. Ha, good one -- kids these days don't know how to read. Anyway, the NapTV is still just a concept, but if there's enough interest I'll beat up Sung-kyu Nam (the designer) and start manufacturing them. I already made one, and I must say -- it was freaking awesome. I say it was awesome because my roommate sat on it when I was watching Dora The Explorer and it broke. Into my face. So there I was, lying supine on the living room floor with a 320 lb man crushing broken glass into my eyes with his ass. And you know what? The audio still worked.

Jan 21 2008 Man Makes Chairs By Melting Weird Plastics
Tom Price, a designer from London, has made a line of chairs by melting different plastics with a seat-shaped mold. We posted a picture of the rope chair back in June, and here comes the rest of the series. As you can tell it looks like a ball of PVC tubing with a turd-like seat in the middle. I'm finding myself strangely attracted to it. I think it's because it makes no sense whatsoever, like my girlfriend. I mean I rarely have any idea what the hell she's talking about. I guess if I paid attention that would help, but it's really hard with her being so uninteresting. Ha, just kidding honey, you're awesome. And by awesome I mean you're boring and I can't stand you. Yeah that's right, we're breaking up via Geekologie post. Oh god put down that knife. Listen readers -- if there isn't another post in an hour somebody call the morgue. Or Domino's if you're getting hungry.

Nov 27 2007 Bookshelf Cave Is Sort Of Neat, Needs Work
The Cave, from designer Sakura Adachi combines a bookshelf and a comfortable place to sit and read. Aimed at taking you back to your childhood when you used to make forts with stools and blankets, the thing is supposed to be a calming place to relax and unwind. The unit has bookshelves on both sides, with the cave crawlspace in between. So it's made to be a room divider and not pushed against a wall. Which kind of defeats the purpose. What good is a two-sided cave? As a matter of fact that's not even a cave, that's a hole. A very expensive hole, I bet. So expensive you can't buy any books for the damn thing afterwards. Okay, may a few. A bunch of copies of the same pink one. Oh, and the last time I checked, a 'Cave' is not considered a suitable babysitter for a child. Somebody call protective services.

Nov 1 2007 Chair Is Very Cool, Takes Up A Lot Of Room
I've seen chairs like this before, but never on this scale. The Loopita, by designer Victor Aleman, is constructed from a single piece of red oak and covered with high density foam for your sitting pleasure. The picture above actually shows three units put together, each one alone is a single loop, capable of comfortably seating two people. No word if you can buy them, but I bet they'd be expensive anyways -- and great for my all-night orgies. What's that? You're calling me a liar? Fine --you got me, I haven't had sex (with another person) in years. My penis just told me if I don't make something happen soon he's packing up the balls and hitting the road.
Two more pictures after the jump.

Oct 23 2007 Toothbrush Couch Looks Comfortable, I Think
Some A+ student over at Bucks New University in the UK designed this toothbrushy couch. Looks comfortable doesn't it? I think so. A lot more comfortable than the one I designed with corncobs instead of soft blue tentacles. Suffice it to say I ran and jumped into my couch one day and lost my backdoor virginity -- if you catch my drift. If you don't catch my drift what I'm saying is that a corncob went up my ass.
When is a couch not a couch, but wacky student work? [core77]
