I often sit on a park bench for a rest and listen to the water
cascading over the nearby weir, after I have completed one
of
my runs. This bench is of the traditional style with several
horizontal laths running along its length, between the two
supporting ends. It is therefore the perfect candidate
for
conversion to a Barbarella Massage Bench.
The name is derived from the film scene where Jane Fonda
in
Barbarella guise lies down inside an organ type device, to
receive an orgasmic massage from its rippling panels. The
park
bench version would be similar, but no less satisfying for
those
resting after a long walk. The laths would be connected via
individual cams to a motor, activated by a coin box. Once
engaged the bench would begin a wave like rippling motion,
providing the perfect respite for the tired walker to engage
in
meditative contemplation.
Yes, massage me with your ray gun, please

I'd have a go, whilst it lasts (+) |

"lathe" (ie the thing possibly driving the cams) or "lath" (for the wooden strips being driven by said cams)? |
|
| |
It would be neat if you can get Duran Duran to operate it too. |
|
| |
"Wasn't that neat, that thing I saw in the movie? Wouldn't it be neat if it were coin operated?" |
|
| |
And, //after I have completed one of my runs// - yeah, it always takes it out of you when you get the runs. My sympathies! |
|
| |
To be fair, [DrC], the device in the movie wasn't anything like a park bench.
Psst. [DrC] sp. "worried" ;-) |
|

A thousand thanks to all my eager pedants re laths sp. |
|

"neat" - I hate "neat" - it's a word to inspire a bout of
projectile vomit. |
