I endeavor to conduct my life in keeping with the decidedly middle-class adage that material goods do not necessarily yield happiness. That sounds reasonable and high-minded enough until the very moment I lay eyes upon a material good that, in point of fact, would make me very happy and fill my days and nights with a solemn sense of principle.

What follows is one such (the only such?) material good.  

Gods of Greece, Rome and Heaven, I have just borne mute witness to the sublime!

It is, as you may have gleaned, a "baseball bat" chair, and it is available for silent, awestruck viewing at the Louvre for glorious sale at 1stdibs.com. The Internet shopkeeper in question requests that you "login for price," which suggests that said miracle chair costs a crap-ton of redeemable U.S. currency. As I survey its charms and craftsmanship (bases for cushions!), though, I find myself intoning, "This absolutely should cost a crap-ton of redeemable U.S. currency."

Know this: Expensive Baseball-Bat Chair is there for those with nowhere left to turn.
