Those lighthouses are just there to replace the felt Elvises they took down.

I don't believe you. :lol:

I am trying to think how a picture of a lighthouse would ever be tasteful or attractive (i.e., how it would look rendered by some of history's greatest artists), and I am not coming up with anything. I suppose that if a modern artist rendered a lighthouse in such a way that was unrecognizable, it might work. (Think simple shapes rendered in a single color and titled Lighthouse #7.) The title would probably ruin it, however.

They can be awesome. Like Bigfoot, "I swear I've seen'um!.

But usually they're pretty terrible. Like Target clearance terrible.

Some people. If I wasn't such a fucking sweetheart I'd just say fuck it all and become a misanthrope. But my heart's too sweet for that, and I just love the tooth-melting little fucker. But seriously there are people who work two jobs and live in abject poverty and this asshole blows 55g's to kill a lion? Karma's gonna ream him with a red-hot fireplace poker sideways for that shit.
And in less than 48 hours already got 56 likes and two responses.
Are you saying he shouldn't have to pay so much to shoot a lion?
No! I'm saying he shouldn't have shot the lion at all!

Also, I've already managed to get September 4th off from work. And after I get back home (Mom says I should come back the next day but I still wanna check out Winston-Salem), the restaurant will be closed until Wednesday iirc.

You can buy it here.
Any chance of buying them through you, so we can get them autographed?
I only have the few copies in the photo and they are spoken for. If anyone here picks one up and wants it signed, I am happy to do so - just ship it to me and I will happily ship it back on my dime.
