I passed a brownstone window yesterday that made me do a double take. It was right out of "A Christmas Story." Smack in the middle of the first floor window was the one-legged lamp with fishnet stockings and tassled shade. How fabulous is that!

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

Ahhh...that would explain why I'd never seen it 'til now. I guess they put it up as a fun Christmas display. Still got a big laugh out of me.

How fabulous is that!They were selling them at the SunCoast Video store that I happened into a week or so ago. Anything from full-sized down to keychain size.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

One of my favorite lines. Arrested Development just had a similar joke with Shemale. Maybe(a character's name) bought a shirt with Shemale on it for her mom and told her it was from a new designer pronounced Sha mal e.
