You have a Suffering Bastard, or a Van Kepple and Green chaise?!?!" Now, thanks to quality reproductions, it is hard to tell if they have the real McCoy or a current production piece. Not that it matters to many people. You'd have to even know what a Suffering Bastard was to even care, let alone be impressed. -Duke This reminds me of those color contact lens people wear. Before those existed people always commented on my eye color (they are golden yellow) and since the contacts came out nobody says anything and just assumes that the color is fake. Then after they know me for awhile they will tell me that they thought I was wearing the contacts. Hah...
