My brother-in-law and I give each other crappy gifts for Christmas every year. I am trying to find one of those leg lamps - a major award - to give him that doesn't cost $100. I may have to buy a mannequin leg and make one myself using that and an old lamp shade<center><hr width="100%"/></center></blockquote></span>

I bought one of those for my Uncle about 3 years ago. If you buy the smaller one it wont cost so much. I think you can get them in 20" size for under $100.
 
I saw some of those but I want to get him a large one so he can't put it away so you can't see it. Here is what I got him last Christmas.

My other brother-in-law got the 5 foot catfish because he lives in redneck haven - Oklahoma - to the most of you.

Apologies to any Okies on the board.
 
Oklahoma, wasn't there a series of tornados lately? I thought I heard something in the news.
 
There were some tornadoes there within the last 24 hours and I think some the day before. Oklahoma is in what they call "Tornado Alley" as is north Texas and Kansas.
 
Tornadoes are pretty terrifying. We had one hit about a half mile from our house a few years back and I had one hit the office where I worked (about one half hour before work). These were minor storms, probably a 1 on the scale they use. They are a random event, unlike a hurricane where you can see them coming days away, and for that very reason invoke more terror than almost any other natural phenomenon, even earthquakes due to their higher frequency.
 
Scary as well...we got new footage of the twisters on the BBC news website yesterday. Awesome. In the true sense of the word.
 
I also have those mixed feelings when I see them. They're somehow beautiful, scary and awe-inspiring at the same time.

It must be a great feeling to see them live but here in Germany...FORGET IT!
