Ok, I've tried to repress this from my memory, but I'm pretty sure I saw rain lamps at WalMart this weekend. I just kind of glanced at them and the sheer travesty didn't sink in at the time. Plastic rain lamps. Cheap plastic rain lamps. Cheap flourescent plastic rain lamps. Now, I realize that rain lamps, like much of tiki, have had this tacky / swank conflict going on. But these things give up even aspiring to be classy. We were in the aisle with the novelty lamps at the time. Possibly this was a terrible hallucination.
