Nothing says “luxury” like being feed grapes as you recline on a couch, but not all of us can afford to pay someone to feed us grapes. As a less-expensive alternative, why not install a couch-side grape hopper? Simply pour some grapes in the top, then lie back and open your mouth. One grape pops out
every twenty seconds. Munch away as you issue decrees. Laurel-leaf crown sold separately.

Et tu, Couch-side Grape Hopper? [dijontoothpaste, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

Couldn't find a reward though. [Worldgineer, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

Now if I can only find a vineless grape supplier... |
|
| |
I hope those grapes are peeled. |
|

I know the goal here is to look cesarian, but I can't shake the image of a ginea pig snuffling at his inverted water bottle. |
|

Whether Cleopatra would be impressed or not, this idea still deserves a bun (shall I just put it up here with your grapes?). Speaking of which, could this not also be used for other foods, such as cherry tomatos, coffee beans or cloves of garlic? |
|
| |
Or a mixture of all these, so you never know what you're getting. |
|
| |
come to think of it, psycho-analysts should provide this service |
|
| |
As a reward for breakthroughs? Interesting. |
|
| |
Pavlov would argue that this device would improve the rate at which breakthroughs are achieved: |

"I *am* worthwhile!" [squish] |
|
| |
"Everybody isn't out to get me!" [chomp] |
|
| |
"Jane Fonda isn't communicating with me via auto-trader ads." [crunch] |
|
| |
"Look at the time. See you next wednesday." [ca-ching] |
|

I think I'd rather have a robot arm than a hopper above my head. If you gave the robot arm a knife, it could peel the grapes too, as well as adding an exciting "Sword of Damocles"-style tension to your fantasies of Caesardom. |
|
| |
Would it really be enjoyable without the slow-moving
austerrich (?) feathers fan?? |
|
| |
//austerrich// oh bless, have a sugar lump for the attempt. |
|
| |
Austerrich came from Nazi Germany, didn't they? They're not around anymore. |
|
| |
I set up a palm frond fan in anno #1. Isn't that ok? |
|
| |
....peacock feathers. add color to it all. :) |
|
| |
The only utility of the palm fan is make you look
threatening while you eat a pheasant with a big knife.
Impressive, not luxurious. And not a bit seducing as for
cleopatra. |
|
| |
sorry about the ossterrischt attempt, I figured none were
reading at the time, nor any friend of theirs. |

|
| |
yes, a knife would be in keeping with Cesar's legacy, woudn't it? (See link "Swords are heavy".) All I lack now is a fiddle and a torch. |
|
| |
I'll take the robot arm with a set of eyes to know when I
desire another grape, please. |
|
| |
Hmmmm... I dunno. It still sorta reminds me of a system they use to reward animals in intelligence testing. (Press the green button for reward.) |
