Random Wordplay for Wednesday 1/25/12

Chippendale chest.

Used in a sentence: "My TVGuide tells me that the upcoming Antiques Roadshow on Monday night will feature a Chippendale chest from the turn of the 19th century found in Eugene, Oregon."

Which just makes me think two things:

1.) I didn't know they were performing back then, and ...

2.) This all sounds a little macabre. I hope they found the Chippendale's legs and head and the rest of his body, as I think that having all the parts will help inflate the price for whomever was keeping that item in their attic, no?

I guess PBS will do anything to boost its ratings! Could it be sweeps month already?
