Glowing Electric Sex....
The house where the most Awesome Christmas Movie Ever (tm) was filmed is being turned into a museum. Like the Bedheaded One, I too hope this will be available in the gift shop, although you can get it online, anyway....
oh my goodness. i needed only to see the picture of the lamp and know there was a reference to The Christmas Story. then i saw about the best Christmas movie ever and knew i must be right.

Posted by: sarahk at October 9, 2006 06:41 PMheh. One year for Christmas, we sent out Christmas cards with the picture of the boy with his tongue stuck to the pole. I think the inside read, "erry istus" or something similar!

Damn that winter outfit. I still have nightmares about not being aboe to put my arms down!
Posted by: Mark at October 12, 2006 10:04 AMI always think of the scene where the kid froze his tongue to the pole. "Don' leave me! Don leaf me!"
I actually had a lamp like that once, sold it on Ebay of course. (I didn't buy it, got it from a store closing...but I did consider keeping it)

Posted by: Dana at October 16, 2006 09:26 AMI used to love listening to Jean Shepherd on the radio at night, back in my Snot-Nose days...and now you can hear some of his old shows via podcast. I recommend it. As A Christmas Story attests, Shepherd was a hell of a storyteller...
