The subjects are pretty good at their method acting, too. It's amazing no one lost a finger.

Talk about a caption contest waiting to happen.

A basic table lamp. Turns out it's cheaper to buy the whole lamp and strip off what I need than it is to buy the individual parts in DIY kits. With due respect to H-C's simian and pentaleonine members, I think it's time we officially start shooting lawyers. I removed four idiot warnings off a lamp that's barely a foot high. Two stickers on the socket, one on the bottom, and a huge one on the cord. There was also a plastic protector on the plug and paper stuffed into the socket.

Helped out my friend Steve, who showed up earlier than I expected him. Developed a nasty headache. Politely declined to attend a trip to the strip club with my housemate, the other Steve, and a bunch of the diner staff. Completely and utterly failed to rewire this gorgeous art deco lamp/sculpture. I am sad and defeated, and my fingers are killing me. I might have to enlist the help of a professional, if I can find one.
