I'm addicted!
 

...to novelty lamps. i've got the plasma ball, the bubble lamp and that rotating light thingy with the plastic strings. my next desire is this:

i would also like to find one of those lamps that had the glycerine drops that made it look like rain.

sigh. it's a sickness :glugglug

I saw a cool lamp in Indy last weekend, a big martini glass with a big olive -the pimento lit up... I didn't feel like blowing $80 on it though.

yes. i know. the novelty lamp addiction is seriously expensive. i think it rates right up there with cocaine and gambling.

actually, if i could get my hands on a mannequin leg, i'd make my own damned leg lamp. i want a fuggin leg lamp!

no webmasters desk is complete without a lava lamp & several thousand other trinkets to capture our attention & amuse throughout the day.

titmowse i have a lamp for you, it looks like theres a camera inside it, but its really not, & that red light that comes on when your getting undressed is nothing i swear :)

odd.

lol! already got one of those pro. i keep it turned away cause i'm on to you pervs!

well it was a good thing while it lasted :)

what about the fish tank lamp?

"what about the fish tank lamp?"

i almost got one of them but just about the time i talked myself into getting one, they sold out at wally world. i would like one though and not the dumb rotating pics on a shade one. i want the one with water, bubbles and fakey fish.

i like lava lamps in theory, but they turn to crap too quickly for me to justify the price.

spam! :1orglaugh

now there's an idea. lamps made from cans of spam! i can do that! thanks klik!

you seen those glow-balls from mathmos?

how about the rotating color tower, that changes colour to the noise in the room???

but have you got one of these (real pic from my room below!)

its a dark light generator... kinda like neon, but produces "black light"

im taking a risk by having one in my room, rumour is they create dark matter...

:-/

black lights made me sleepy..

*yawn*

night night all.

I thought you were addicted to weed???

Well exercise your creativity and you will save a lot of money -- my friends and I made some badass lamps in college -- we used wood, but you can do it too -- just go to the hardware store and for $3 you can get a powercord, bulb, etc... Then go buy some thick wire -- and you will need some needle-nose plyers and a vise-grip helps also -- I like to work in wire because it's cheap and you can bend just about any shape that comes into your head -- bend the wire straight and the lamp comes out looking clean and geometric if you're into that sortof look -- then for the shade you can use just about anything -- if you want something that looks nice -- go to the art supply store and buy some really quality paper... Get 15 Watt bulbs -- they look good almost anywhere (even without a shade) and at 15Watts you can't even burn the paper -- with paper and wire I could make about 4 cool looking lamps in an hour -- I'd use these lamps to light up my paintings at nightclubs -- then sell the lamps for a few extra $$$ ;)

If I had a bunch of Chinese wire benders I could probably make a shitload of money w/ my lamp designs. I wouldn't pick on the Chinese but they don't buy porn from me...

why don't you make me a penis lamp mr thefly? :winkwink:
