So I happened by a Goodwill when I was home last weekend. I found a fifty two year old Quartite clown lamp. Had to share. Oh yeah, I bought it.

| For the one hundredth time, excuse the background. This is our work area. |
 |
| He has more than his share of wear and tear, but at least he still exists. |
 |
| Clown banging a drum and going away. |
 |
| Not quite sure what it's supposed to be that he's straddling. |
 |
| He works too. When he's not banging a drum he lights bulbs. |
 |
| The money shot. |
 |
| Not sure, but I think he'll end up on the For Sale list. |
 |
| Nice hat. |
 |
| Creepy, but not as creepy as this next guy . . . |
We'll be right back with . . . more stuff.
Mom started a clown collection for me when I was still a little guy in a crib. I swear they sat on that shelf and plotted all sorts of horrible things. Strange thing is that was almost forty years ago and I still have them safely put away in a box, hmm wonder if there worth anything.
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure and tell my son-in-law not to read this post. He's so not lovin' clowns...LOL
ReplyDeleteFrom the more than strange department:
ReplyDeleteRight after I posted this I heard something on NPR about why children don't react well to clowns. Something about the familiarity of the body shape combined with the alien face/head. Basically it just looks monstrous to little kids.
I've had to sleep with the lights on the last 2 nights after seeing that thing.
ReplyDeleteWell at least you're sleeping now.
DeleteI want one of those!
