But it truly didn't go down as you describe in your post with my dad in regards to the Electric Dolphin Light Fantasy That Broke The Camel's Back. I knew three things: that Dad was spending WAY too much money on things I wasn't going to use, that he secretly wanted the dolphin thing for himself, and that I was lying to my own father when I told him I would use these things in the room. So, I decided it was time to stop lying, and comprimised by taking the neon toucan. Now, Dad has the most fantabulous dolphin light scuplture outside of Miami, and I only have a few dippy things I'm forced to store/bring out when he's here. Anyway, I think generally we're in agreement, Scamboogah. And welcome to TC! :wink:
