Lamp, long time in the making...

A number of years ago Lowe's carried a "Cars" lamp. Jen fell in love with the shade but didn't care for the base which was a plastic Lightning McQueen that looked lame. When the lamp went on clearance we picked up the lamp for $5. At this point in time we thought we wouldn't be having kids so we had planned to be the best uncle and aunt possible. We had plans to create a girls guest room and a boys guest room. The plan included using the shade from the cars lamp in some fashion in the boys
guest room.

Well fast forward and now the twins are here. Jen found a cool lamp base which she felt would do the lamp shade justice. I found some parts to make the shade fit and bingo, a cool lamp for Laith. If you look close you will see the advertisement for the Dinoco 400 to take place on Sunday May 20th. It just so happens that this year May 20th lands on a Sunday, in fact next Sunday. Looks like we got this project done right on time.

The Fat Kid Goes Eatin'

Finger rating indicates number of fingers I would willingly part with to eat there if food became scarce. Really bad restaurants will require I get to cut off the chef's fingers (influenced by two Bruce Willis movies...try and name them).

All critiques are solely the opinions of the contributor. Crimson & Howitzer are in no way affiliated with any restaurant nor have they received any reimbursement or entitlements from any restaurant. However we may be willing to accept FREE food in order to rate a previously unrated or poorly rated restaurant. If Crimson turns down any food or doesn't finish the food on her plate, Howitzer may deem it abandoned and consume said food as to not insult the starving children in China. If you are unable to finish the food on your plate please contact Howitzer for instructions on donating your transgression to a nearby fat kid or starving kid from China. Crimson & Howitzer are not liable for anything, especially any experience resulting from the opinions of this bloviation.
