There's just no end to bad taste.

What I really want to know is what all the immediate neighbors did to ****
off the subject homeowner, inducing him to set up such a light show. No
one would set up something like that because they like it...............
would they?


If I had the time, the talent, and the resources, you bet I would. That
light show rocks! I love christmas lights.

I have been forbidden to put up any holiday lights around our house-
unless subject to immediate supervision. It has more to do with
unbreakable professional habit than with any religious or philosophical
issues.

The last time I strung the lights, (at a previous residence) I ran a
nice string from the corner of the house out to the top of a basketball
backboard on the edge of the road. From there, the lights did a
90-degree turn and ran into a tall tree on the corner of the yard, went
once around the tree and then formed a nice graceful belly on the
return leg to the eaves. I thought it was uniquely beautiful. All my
neighbors had highly disciplined light displays outlining the shapes of
their houses, and mine were suspended in mid air. Cool.

When the Mrs. came home, she was a bit P'd off. "All those colored
lights strung in the air makes the place look like a damn used car
lot!!"

My response, "What's wrong with that?", probably drove the final nail
into my unsupervised light stringing coffin.
