I can’t answer for the OP, but last year I almost started a thread called “You’ll shoot your eye out!” I thought it might be nice to include some links, so I googled “a christmas story.” In fact, I did that again just now.
DeathLlama says there are a number of places online that sell the lamp. He had no problem finding it. He’d had a profitable day at a casino, and wanted to splurge on something fun. It cost about $120, and is worth every penny.
I came home from work and found him in the front room unpacking two large boxes (one for leg, one for shade). I asked him what it was, and he grinned and said, “A major award.” My immediate reaction was “Nooo! Really? YOU ARE THE COOLEST HUBBY EVER!”
I’d also like to point out DeathLlama is not happy with the lamp’s present location. “It needs to be prominently displayed,” he said. Apparently, in front of a large window in the front of the house isn’t prominent enough…heh.
This is exceptionally cool, and now I want one! I have just the perfect window for it, too. My only hesitation (other than the price) is where/how to store it during the off season. Not to mention that with my husband, there could very well be no off season.
