That is so cool!
:)
too scary for me, reminds me of a mutilation murder that's just happen few months ago... :(
lol that's WICKED! Totally reminds me of the lamp from A Christmas Story.
OUCH I didn't realize that was such an expensive hobby.
expensive, random, one of a kind - and BRILLIANT!!! i love the way it looks like it wants to start walking!
$143, Oh my gosh! But oh how I covet your lamp. *L* I saw this nightlight version the other day here. Love them both.
"Electric sex"... haha, I seriously laughed out loud! Chris, I always look forward to your posts and I was not disappointed. You're very crafty!
Yes, yes, yes! That is my favorite part of the movie. Fra-Geelee!! :o)
We've gotta fix ours!
That's too funny that you went through all that trouble to get a leg lamp!
I don't know what's funnier..."electric sex" or "It must be Italian!" That lamp is freakin' fantastic!
SO cool - I love it!! How neat is that - what a fun idea.
You're a legend - I mean, leg end. What a great result!
too funny!
So well presented! :)
Till i scrolled down I was not sure what it was all about.
You're too funny! Very nice.. I actually really like it, in creepy sort of way.
very fun post! too cute!
well, who's been a naughty little boy . . .
Wellllllllllll . . . ummmmmmmmmmm . . . don't really have the room for it, but it sure looks interesting right where it is. (A bit too rich for my pocketbook anyway.) : )
I LOVE IT!! I am going to show my hubby this tomorrow...we are HUGE Christmas Story fans!! Actually...I probably shouldn't show him...I don't want to give him any ideas!!
haha, i love it! hello christmas story lamp :)
tee hee...thanks for the giggles. :) I needed them.
Happy PSF!
That's so creative! Electric sex????
You crack me up! Thanks for the laugh!
PS-Sorry I didn't have mine posted when you stoped by. Come back to see the real PSF if you can.
I guess that was a great prize after all! Who knew? Well, now we all know, don't we? Thanks for the update. Over from David's. And congratulations on Post of the Day mention!
Sandi
Fantastic!! You must be so proud to have created that! I think it looks great and I am impressed by all the hard work it must have been!
What does the wife say? Does she digg it? Oh and can you see it from the road?
Hahaha!!!! That is hilarious!
We put mine up in the office, people complained...thought it was too risque'....uncultured swine.
I let my cousin borrow it last year for a bishopric party, I still need to get it back.
Just don't put your tongue to it!! Sorry..just loved the last line...electric sex. Great job.
BTW there is a shop on state street, just south of downtown..not that I have been there..just driving by..got pushed in..I'll just shut up now!! giggle
Blimey! That is something different!
since you had to buy both shoes you should have made two lamps and sold one on ebay,or give it as a wonderful christmas present.
Oh My God...this is SO FUNNY! My husband is in love with The Christmas Story and I've been looking for some kind of version of this lamp for him but it NEVER occured to me to make one myself. Now that I have the instructions though...
This is CLASSIC!
It came out great!
Thanks for stopping by!
You know, there's probably a market out there for these.... ;)
That looks great! My parents made one for my uncle back in the 70s, and it got passed back and forth for many years, I think it's still in my parents' basement. :)
You weren't kidding about the leg lamp! LOL! You have two shoes, I think that calls for another lamp!
Bwhahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this a bad time to tell you my local Rite Aid has these for sale?
YOU DID NOT! Tell Sharon I have an extra room (the real one, not your alter-ego one).
Next friday isn't going to be a photo with some poor child's tongue stuck to as pole is it?
Hey, the other day you'll never guess who they mentioned on the radio (no, not you silly)-- they had on the great great grandson of Dickens!!
That is hilarios! My husband tried to buy one of those FRAGILE lamps a couple of years ago.
That is SO funny! I knew from the first line what you'd made! :D
Oh my goodness...I LOVE IT!!
Not to mention that we watch the movie every Christmas-our tradition...but thats just great!!
Way to go!
How very creative! And it turned out so nicely!
This is hysterical not to mention expensive.
That.is.hilarious!!!!
So sexy and yet a little silly, too! I hope you don't cause any accidents on your street.
Clever. Whadda man.
I knew exactly where this was going by the fishnet stockings. Just don't shoot your eye out this Christmas. Too funny!
Hilarious!!! I am sure your wife is loving that.
Did you really put it in the front window? Really?
Did it get mysteriously broken while your wife was watering the plants?
I am not showing this to my husband, as he will want one to display year round...
