So I went image hunting and photoshopping.
For those who don’t frequent Shakesville, Melissa McEwan (aka Shakespeare’s Sister) occasionally presents certain commenters with an image of a fainting-couch, or uses it to illustrate a post involving a moral panic amongst the pearlclutching set.
I could have just copied her image (I’m sure she would give permission if asked by a fellow progblogger) but I decided to do my own.
On my image hunt, I also found this, appropriately only as a tiny thumbnail. I hereby present the smallest fainting-couch in the world, just waiting for the most delicatest of sensibilities:
Both images are up on my Flickr account, just link to them as needed using Flickr’s guidelines (click on them to go to Flickr). Go forth and mock, mates.

This whole post made me happy. ^^
“Mocking is the punishment for whining.”
Heard this today, and had to share. From the mother of a 3 yr old, which I think makes it *perfect* for trolls. ^^
I like making people happy. Your quote makes me happy too.
Win-win.
One more, as a special request from my LP cob logger Gummo:
just had to make my own X3

Heh. Sorry Torri*, only Hoyden bloggers who are logged-in can post images in comments.
I like your image choice muchly.

LOL!
That. Is. Awesome.
You’ve truly captured the spirit of the fainting couch. 😉
I’m brand new here, but I had to comment to say that this is absolutely hilarious. It made my procrastination of final paper writing so much more worth it.
