I know the guy who sells those. He's refurbishing the house from A Christmas Story which is right by where I live.

My friend croctommy desperately wants to get one of those for his other best friend, but they are so expensive!

I could probably steal one from a store in the 'hood. They're ubiquitous 'round here.

I don't think theft is justified for the friend of a friend of someone you know on Tha Intarweb.

I'd get one of these things, if those damned kids didn't keep getting their tongues stuck to it.

I gave one to The Husband a few years ago. Big hit.

Not a finger!

hah.

We've even designed our own Major Award Certificate to make this gift even more special. No other retailer offers this Major Award Certificate or these packaging options. Your lamp can be shipped in a wooden crate with or without excelsior wood shavings for an extra charge. blah. blah...

Very funny! Try searching for "award" on that page; it's hilarious... all the multiplicious key words, including "award" are in white text on a white background. But I really, deeply love "We've even designed our own Major Award Certificate to make this gift even more special". Love. It.

They even stamp the crate "Fra-gee-lay"

My neighbor three doors down has one on their window.

"steal one from a store in the 'hood. They're ubiquitous 'round here." That's quite a hood.
