It's sort of orange and the 15 watt night light bulb inside makes it glow kind of warm and fuzzy.
They say it's hand carved from 250 million year old salt deposits at the base of the Himalayas.
Makes me picture gnomes or monks sitting cross legged, chipping the salt in cadence.
Until it said ISO-9001 & ISO-14001 certified.

OK, looks good, you're interested, they go in for the kill...


Walmart says, " put it next to your computer and feel your stress dissipate as the negative ions counteract the electromagnetic fields bouncing off the computer."

Yes sir, we don't want to get into any of that proof business, but here is the fountain of youth and Viagra, and Chocolate truffles rolled into one.

Then they spend a lot of space helping you decide what size/how many, you need for your cubicle, home, or business.

Oh well, it looks cool, kind of romantic, when it's lit up.

This was labeled as Bad Newspapering but I disagree. 10 or 15 years ago I bought a whole case of those from American science & Surplus, then at Christmas handed them out at work for oversized shot glasses. Hey, they were new and glass, so dust them.

It was amusing, listening to the reactions these guys got from their wives when they said they were shot glasses.

I may not be smart, but probably certifiably evil.

I looked at this picture and wondered why is was such a ghetto tree, and why it wasn't lit until Christmas eve. Then it dawned on me, this was less than two months after Oct 29th, Black Tuesday, the start of the Great Depression.

I'm sure it was lit on Christmas Eve because that's actually the original tradition--you're supposed to decorate on Christmas Eve, and leave it up until the holiday of Epiphany on Jan 6, which is supposedly the day the wise men arrived with their gifts. Sometimes the night before the Epiphany celebration is called Twelfth Night, which is what the Shakespeare play was named after.

But that's old world Anglo Saxon tradition. We brought forth a new nation dedicated to the proposition that at Thanksgiving we shall hit the ground running for the orgy of Christmas spending.

This is no time to agonise over the Christian - Capitalist dichotomy.

Just go out and spend. My future pension will depend on you!
