I have a question.
I was watching A Christmas Story and there was a controversy regarding leg lamps.
If I am married and win a Leg Lamp as a prize, should I bury it if my wife was jealous of the Leg?

Well, you might ask my brother-in-law since I bought him one as a Christmas present last year and my sister hates it....I believe it is still in the box in their basement.....

Oh no! You mean he didn't get the chance to place it in the living room and light it up for the whole neighborhood to admire?
Well hopefully your sister won't accidentally break it.
Then he would have to bury it and play taps

If he gets rid of it send it to me.
I think a leg lamp would look nice in a bachelors bedroom.

Talking about leg lamps laugh

We were looking for a suitable wall lamps to our living room, but none of them looked quite right. We have been looking them for an over a year and this may be one of our longest POJA processes so far. Wrong colour, wrong design, too expensive, yadayada. We were basically OK with some of them but still left them in the store, because they didn't kind of talk to both of us. I have learned - even if there is a tiny bit of doubt in me, I'll leave it undone or otherwise I will have something I put away all the time, do not use, or even grow to hate. If both spouses know that they have a right to say "no", and the right to be treated well after that, then it makes the whole process a lot easier. Not necessarily quicker, but easier.

So, last time we were browsing them was last Sunday and then it hit us, we would solve this with a nice leg lamp. And we found the suitable one instantly. It took like a second to decide, we were both very enthusiastic about it and the lamp looks really good.

Have ya'll seen this? http://blog.joshsundquist.com/post/34575552150

hahahaha! I think a leg lamp is a perfect holiday decoration, but I don't think I'd want to display it year-round. Maybe in a basement barroom. But not the front window! smile

Mrs Recon,
I heard an interview with a leg lamp manufacturer years ago.
He said they ship a limited number a year.

Also I heard an interview with a man that bought that house.
It was in great disrepair.
He bought it and said he was going to make a museum there.

I watched that movie with my kids last night.
They all loved it.
