Does Big Steve's city have an ordinance against lighted signs in yards? 

The city may be interested in Steve's infraction.

If I were the big baloney, I'd be cautious.

I know Skins is itching to toss another prominent Bernie bully off Skins's island, and he's waiting for one of them to do something tossworthy.

If I were the big baloney, I'd lay off this Bernie stuff.

If I were the big baloney, I wouldn't dare think for a minute I was so popular I was immune from being mausoleumed.  Skippy thought that way, and where did it get him?

I'm confused. Does the big guy, who is dying, have 1-3 weeks to wait around? Will the big guy be able to feel the Bern without this electrical tchotchke? Maybe if he told the seller he is dying, he can get one sooner?

Actually if they're shipping them out that fast, that suggests the number of orders aren't exactly overwhelming.

A fact that seems to escape the big baloney.

When I visited earlier, it read 534 sold.  Now, it reads 544 sold. 


The store looks like a two-man operation of two old white guys, which is ironic, considering the signs are supporting another old white guy.

My little brother is mayor of a small texas town. His favorite saying when he'd meet people and ask for their vote was to "vote early and often". He won the election by like 92-53. Hey, it's a small town.

Geez! That thing looks like the sign for a Vegas-casino-wannabe joint in The-Middle-Of-Nowhereville, NV.

Or one of those road-side signs off roads and highways that I saw all over the place in MS and AL in 1983.

Maybe she will put a flasher bulb on the circuit so that his name blinks like a cheap mini-taco bar sign.

Actually, this laughingstock of a post provided an inspiration.

Upon reading it, I googled for images of "lighted tombstone," "electric tombstone," "neon tombstone," "illuminated tombstone," and somesuch, coming up dry.  There were images, but not of anything I was thinking about.

I was thinking of a tombstone where the name is outlined in little lights.

Apparently such a thing doesn't exist, and I'm wondering if (a) I was the first person to come up with the idea and (b) it has any potential market demand.

As kitschy as the big baloney is, I could very well see him demanding his wife poor dear Marta get such a thing for his own gravesite.....when he.....finally.....at long last.....terminalizes.

Let's see ...

Probably none.

UL approval probably could not have been obtained this quickly.

You mean that if one of those yard signs shorts out, catches fire and then the whole porch becomes a flaming inferno, the homeowner will have to suck it up?

No, that can't be. This is Bernies Buddies, the most responsible people oriented folks on the planet.

Thanks; that's more along the lines of which I was thinking.

But since it's the big baloney, he'd have to have the lights brighter and more colorful so it outshines everything else in the cemetery; it'd have to be garish and kitschy.

Even though this has drawn nothing but apathy from the primitives, I've been obsessed all day, about this idea of lighted tombstones, wholly inspired by the big baloney's posting of this topic.

Getting a free sign, poking small holes in it and using a string of last seasons christmas lights, or even the 99 cent clearance lights from walmart, is a bit complex for most DUmmies. And way way too complicated for the big guy.

I've been away, but that doesn't mean I've not been thinking.

The big guy has a little granddaughter on whom he dotes a great deal.

However, he's likely to terminalize--if he keeps his promise--too soon for her to have any lasting impression of him.

So a visit to grandpa at the cemetery has got to be made interesting for the little one.

(a) a lighted tombstone, with STEVEN L. DAWES in blinking multi-colored lights, (b) a musical tombstone, churning out the 1890s dance hall tune, "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-re!," and (c) something like how a cuckoo clock works, little figurines of 1890s dance-hall girls kicking up their heels as they move, conveyor-belt-like, across the arch of the top of the tombstone.

That'd cheer up the little one, and encourage her to visit grandpa at the cemetery more often.

The only problem being money; with the lights alone, that's apparently circa $2500 for the tombstone, and I'm sure the music and action would more than double the cost.

It would be a hoot if that sign would catch fire later on in the springtime when the grass is dry from from lack of water before the spring rains come. I can imagine the Bellevue police asking OS questions about his cheap ass Chinese made sign burning up half of his neighborhood.
