These are barstools which, in exactly the
same way as Flocking Road Cones (q.v.)
will move around according to a complex
pre-defined series of rules. Cheap bar-owners might be tempted to simply buy a
few Flocking Road Cones and put seats
on
the top, but without some clever
reprogramming,
this risks having
reliable,
loyal customers being whisked out off
the
door at high speed to join a few cones on
the nearest big road.
These stools will derive as much
information as they can about your
personality, your likes and dislikes, etc.
through sensors in the fabric (*)
seat of the
barstool and then 'flock' according to
who
they think you'd like to meet, or steer
you
into a quiet corner if they think you'd like
to be left alone.
(*) - Note: not flock

I can see this being helpful for shy people. [+] |

If it moves suddenly, one is very likely going to fall off the flocking barstool. |

I presume that empty-glass-holder -> bar is one of the functions? |

[m-f-d] magic. It is seldom that even I know what my intentions for the evening are. |

Having said that, there is an ignoble award granted to a beer readiness placemat. A placemat that wirelessly transmits the status of your beer glass to the bar. This is not a much farther cry. will go off to investigate these "flocking road cones" to see if they suffer a similar magical delusion. |
