guess what program i saw as i walked past the tv room today? the price is right! yeah, i know, i was pretty surprised too, being in singapore and all : ) unfortunately, drew carey was hosting instead of ol’ bob barker… anywhoo …here’s the point of this rambling -> being an id pays off a bit in all the random furniture knowledge such as… when at the beginning of the show you and other potential contestents bid on the price of some product and the person who guesstimates the closest to its retail price [without going over, mind you] then gets to go on to play for more substantial prizes? … ok well most of the contestants guestimated around 700 bucks for this colorful whimsy ->
… but you and i [kinda] both know ol’ george nelson designed that babeh for herman miller back in the 50s, so.. we guess 2000 and.. really its worth around 2400, go us! we kick game show booty.

this is one of those things i was excited about at the time. write about. and then proceed feel to ridiculous for doing so.
kinda also beginning to sound like the beginning of one of those jokes on popsicle sticks…why are there never designers on the-price-is-right?
