The Odd Machine in the Family Room

Tell me what this is. Really. It’s disturbing. Who does it belong to? Jump for the answer.

    That looks like Charles. If the machine had a “barney fife” type cervical traction apparatus hooked to it, it would resemble a scoliosis therapy. It does look like a vibrational therapy of some kind, maybe for the low back.

    I have to get outside my box a little more.

    @James – That’s what she said as she climbed on her iGallop…..

    Note to self: Don’t let Merritt past the foyer.

    And by the way, I had nothing to do with the purchase of this absurd device. If, in fact, it belongs to me, which I deny.

    Looks a bit like the outdoor version of the George Foreman grill, but on a shorter stand and wearing a cute hat.

    I jumped for the answer, just like you said to do. But, umm, I still don’t know the answer.

    Is it some peculiar contraption intended for (peculiar) indoor horseback-riders?

    Or a photo to promote the new show, “It’s All in the Family Room”?

    Is there a prize for all of this guesswork?
