It's not for sale, he says, but on the first day he put it up he had 14 requests for disembodied mannequin legs and he no longer has a storage problem downstairs.
Here's to ingenuity and the Christmas Spirit!
Everybody now: "FraJEEElay!"

A major prize!!
On this first day of our last month before Yule, I offer this: a photo of a window from downtown Courtenay, BC, where an enterprising shopkeeper found a great use for one of the spare mannequin parts he had in his back storage room.
It's not for sale, he says, but on the first day he put it up he had 14 requests for disembodied mannequin legs and he no longer has a storage problem downstairs.
Here's to ingenuity and the Christmas Spirit!

Shannon, those thing are sold every Christmas season over at a shop near us, and on line, someone actually has put up a recipe for making one ... http://www.ooblick.com/lamp/ ... as someone who works in the area of 'you know' these things really disturb me.
Oh dear! I'm so sorry, Dave! I should have explained better - it's from a movie, maybe you haven't seen it: "A Christmas Story", a favorite of mine from years back. It's meant to be burlesque-ey rather than violent or disparaging, although the shopkeeper forgot to add the fringe "skirt" which is crucial.
Sorry again...I'll email you privately so you don't have to come back here to read this.
Look, honey! It must be Italian!
Aw, Gwen, you stole my line...
I triple dog dare you to put one in your front window.
Dang, you say you won it??
