GUEST POST: I Love Lamp!
You know, I really love NetChick. Really really love her. Unconditionally, and intensely. But really, anyone that worried about a lamp…
Here’s the deal folks. I got a lamp from my brother for my birthday. We are somewhat estranged, and I can never tell if he’s exercising his warped sense of humour, being an ass, or just completely out to lunch. This lamp is the Mac Daddy of grand fromage! The base is shaped like a Las Vegas poker table, complete with a dealer that actually moves and has sound effects of people playing poker! How cool/stupid is that?! Plus, the shade is a translucent photo of The Strip. Need I say more?
But wait, there’s more!
To turn it on, you press down on a stack of chips on the base, and before the light turns on it goes through the motions and sound effects – every time. And it has a night light. If that doesn’t seal the deal for an avid player like myself I don’t know what would. And Tanya is more afraid of this lamp than snakes, rats and moths combined! I agree that there just isn’t room in our place for such a lovely work of art, so I will be letting it go. It seems a shame to give it away, so maybe one of you hyperintelligent people will understand the beauty of owning one of the cheesiest lamps ever conceived…
So even though I love it, I choose the girl over the lamp. Anyone want it?

Dang it, when I tried to sign up for your rss feed it froze up my ‘puter. hope i didn’t mess anything up for you. sorry.
As much as I would love to take the lamp off your hands, I think my fiancee would have the same issues as Tanya does.
But it does sound like a mighty fine lamp. Mighty fine. =)

I’m such a nerd, I read the title of this post and immediately thought, I love L.A.M.P too… (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP)
Okay, this lamp sounds hilarious. How about a picture before you sell it? I’m real curious now….
Anyone who had ever seen my apartment would realize instantly that there is no place on Earth where that lamp belongs more. When can I pick it up?
This comes from someone who once gave a stuffed gaiman as a housewarming present. Trust me, I would love this lamp.
