Ever feel like your desk job is getting a bit... overwhelming? Well, in Anniston, Alabama, they’ve taken "climbing the corporate ladder" to a literal extreme. Welcome to the home of the World’s Largest Office Chair! 🏢😂 Standing at a staggering 33 feet tall, this behemoth was built by Miller’s Office Supply to prove that they really do think big. And yes, it is officially Guinness World Record certified, making it the undisputed king of ergonomic nightmares. 🏆 Imagine the Zoom call from this thing! You’d need a literal ladder just to reach the armrest, and the lumbar support? Forget about it—it’s roughly the size of a small SUV. 🚗💨 While you aren't allowed to actually sit in it (unless you have a jetpack and a very brave HR department), it’s the perfect spot for a "big" photo op. Constructed from ten tons of steel, it can withstand 85 mph winds, which is honestly more than I can say for my productivity on a Friday afternoon. 💨😴 If you’re ever road-tripping through Alabama, stop by and marvel at this monument to middle management. Just don't try to swivel! Stay seated (comfortably), “Big furniture, bigger dreams, record-breaking imagination.” 🪑🌍 Classic Rock song: "Manic Monday” by The Bangles Please email me about your experiences visiting these whimsical, large objects! Here is the Premium Subscription page: You will get early access to new blog posts, one extra weekly newsletter, and access to all past newsletters. And occasionally, I'll ask for votes on content!

Pack your bibs and put on your dancing shoes, because we’re heading to the heart of Acadiana! Deep in the misty, moss-draped lands of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, lives a resident who is a little bit "pinchier" than the rest. Welcome to the home of the Giant Crawfish Sculpture! 🦞⚜️ In the "Crawfish Capital of the World," the mudbugs aren't just a delicacy—they’re legendary. This oversized, crimson sentinel stands tall as a whimsical monument to the spirit of the swamp. With his massive claws and...

A a In the small town of Newbury, NH, a simple piece of roadside graffiti has become a legendary symbol of enduring love. 🌲💖 Along Route 103, a jagged stone outcropping bears a message that stops travelers in their tracks: "Chicken Farmer, I still love you." The legend began in the 70s or 80s (the legend is unclear), when a shy teenage boy, smitten with a girl who lived on the chicken farm across the street, painted "Chicken Farmer, I love you" on a rock. 🐔💌 Too nervous to speak to her in...
