MONROE, Mich. (Reuters) - Couch potatoes' and sports fans' cries of woe have been heard by recliner manufacturer La-Z-Boy Inc., which has introduced the first reclining chair ever with a built-in electric cooler.

The Monroe, Mich.-based company said the new chair, dubbed "Oasis", will be sold at its 2,500 U.S. stores. Costing $899, the chair is armed with a thermo-electric cooling unit underneath a flip-up armpad that can hold up to six 12-ounce cans and features a built-in cup holder.

For those who need more than just liquid refreshment, the chair sports a telephone in its other arm to order out for pizza.

The phone includes a Caller ID display so that unwanted calls can be ignored and a memory feature that can store up to 99 names and numbers, said La-Z-Boy, the nation's largest maker of upholstered furniture and reclining chairs.

Any pre-game jitters can be eased with the chair's 10-motor massage and heat system.

re: 9/9/99

Yeah... the world didn't end today, surprisingly enough. I had my Coleman lantern and a 4 month supply of those little "cocktail weinies in a can" all saved up, too.

Someone musta let 'The Big Guy' know that 090999 != 9999 in 'puter-ese....just in time... <gg>
