Seriously, how is it possible that the wearable chair isn't the hottest accessory around today when it was patented 30 whole years ago? Look at it! You strap it to the backs of your legs and you can just sit back and rest easy whenever you want! I wouldn't have to submit to the cruel tyranny of standing under my own volition any longer! It'd be perfect for concerts, the subway or the unemployment line, where you'd presumably run into the inventor of these things, Darcy Robert Bonner. Now that this thing has been rediscovered after being lost for so long, it's time to make the dream a reality. [Patent via Book of Joe]

now you can take a dump anywhere you please! just add the toilet paper dispenser for an extra 2.99 and you got a deal.
Good for waiting in line at the complaint department.
So how easy is it to walk in these bad boys?
If you don't even notice wearing them, then I'm down for a few pair.
Wow, the DMV should make this available to folks as they enter the building!

Do they have a rocking chair or futon model?
Can they add the PooP compartment in it?
... it just needs something extra to complete the asshat picture...

A product which will keep us glued to our seats!
Literally.
@GOKOR: It'll make you walk like an AT-ST*.

Disney is going to buy out the rights to this thing and rent it out at their theme parks!
"Tired of standing in those long lines? Then have a seat! Rent yours today for only $29.99 for the whole day!"
I want one...with an ipod dock
it's called "iSit"
Yeah there were jen with something like this a few years ago
I wonder if it would count as patent infringement to extend this to a whole line of wearable sofas for accommodating friends, wearable beds for shut eye anywhere anytime, wearable cars for transportation on the go, wearable houses for portable shelter, wearable neonatal intensive care units for carting around premature babies, wearable large acreage irrigation pumps for offsite farming, wearable reusable launch systems for propelling space shuttles into low Earth orbit, wearable neutrino capture facilities for gaging local particle bombardment, wearable Easy Bake ovens for whipping up a quick and delicious afternoon snack... the possibilities are endless!!! Hard to believe this one got buried in patent purgatory.
this would have been great for my on-site sketching class!
Great 'Musical Chairs' tool.
Guarantees a victory every time.
@alter:
I'm sick of the i-prefixes.
@ripfire4: WTF is an AT ST?
These would be perfect for trade shows, as well as Holiday shopping!
@rielistic: you don't like the iPrefix?
@GOKOR: this is not a game of what the fuck is an AT-ST.
@GOKOR:
iDon'tLikeIt.
...Fail.
Great for low cost airlines
What ho?

@GOKOR: get off the site please, youre lowering the geek cred
this thing looks like its a pain to set up.
espectually when you have back issues.
Old milk hands have had portable chairs for years. Basically a little stool strapped to your heiny.
and America gets fatter.
So...when this guy invented this device, was he not aware that dairy farmers have been wearing single-leg milking stools on their butts for ages?
@GOKOR:
Geek cred revoked.
This is actually the basis for a bunch of magic tricks...
Anything where you see someone balance/hover or sit/lie at an unbelievable angle is based on a version of this thing, but under the pants.
@red: I'm a music geek, sorry I don't know what an AT ST is.
@animemecha: True, your back actually has much less stress standing, than sitting, but sitting is so much more comfortable than standing.
@shamoononon: You don't get fatter just by sitting. You get fatter by sitting around all day doing nothing. This device is so you're not forced to stand due to no other available option.
@GOKOR: [www.randyasplund.com]
@GOKOR: Well, I never had a problem with standing is all I'm trying to say. If I'm tired enough, my butt isn't so special that I can't stand on the ground. Sorry.
@shamoononon: SIT, SIT I MEAN... sheesh
@shamoononon: I feel the same, but it would be cool to have a chair instead of concrete.
Oh, and thanks for being the one person to let me know what that thing is.
It would be cool to have one that weighed like 100lbs. That way you could struggle with it for like 50', then you would have to sit down on it, then get up and continue. Think of the kilocalories!
Isn't this just sitting on your heels?
perhaps an ipod/iphone dock added in? or a cup holder?
Well what if you want to sit at the real chair? Pants got to go down?
Darcy Robert Bonner...making 'the polio look' hot again!

While you were sitting you could have a nice salad, and why waste those old rubber gloves you used to clean your bathroom?
I guess you wouldn't be leaning back too much in this chair...
Well- I scanned for the comment I came here to read and didn't see it...
Wasn't this already invented by Thomas Edison, then rediscovered by a suburbanite with below-average intelligence, then destroyed with an automatic hammer???
...just sayin's'all...
@MasterYong: No. You're thinking of the chair with two little legs on the back to keep you from falling backwards.
These might be nice to have at the post office.
@OG512:
this, you mean?
