This is not The Haters Club You're Looking For discussion
I hate how this object is not mine.
my current one isn't functioning up to par, I launched Mumbles beer weeks ago, I fear it has "landed" in the hands of hoodlums.
Not as cool as a snail lamp, but it'll do.
The ONLY thing cool about the snail lamp was the picture... you can zoom around it and stuff, without it getting blurry, so you can see all the details.
Look, here I am. WANTING.

what is with you and snails
I used to live in this townhouse that had lots of snails living in the boxwoods around my porch. I used to smoke back then :) and I would sit out there and watch them. I fell in love. I loved to touch an antenna and watch it retract and then freeze until the coast was clear. There were little teeny, tiny ones, too. SO CUTE!
Yes, there were various sizes, but some were little like this!
I can't believe I never realized how totally awesome snails were in the past. I think I'll start loving snails too. Escargot is pretty good too you know.

There are about 7 other things I would like to add to this... but It would just be obnoxious so.
Easily within your grasp, Harry.
Now I'm coveting that lamp too. Snails ARE totally awesome. (and so is escargot).
I was kidding about escargot. Icky!
You love snails, so you want this.Once I saw a clock with a crucified Christ on the face.
Ecargot is DELICIOUS not icky. yum yum.
Sarah - I hate that you want that lamp! and I hate that but I also hate that you wont just buy it for yourself if you want it so bad. It's apx 2 jeans worth of spending. and I bet it will be on sale pretty soon, they don't exactly look like they're flying off the shelf (or oozing off it for that matter).
I wish I had a small/gold beetle on a necklace. Someone find it, please, please, please.

or did you mean this kind of beetle :)

Sarah,
Buy yourself that lamp. I'm sure you deserve it!
It's irresponsible for me to spend $200 on a lamp right now. Really. I just went to Chicago and I'm going to New York, soon (!) so I'm not exactly depriving myself, lately. I'll be fine.
My friend recently spent $200 (each!) on a pair of lamps and I thought that was silly. But they were just normal lamps....no mollusks anywhere!When I really want something but don't feel like it's practical I wait a couple of days to see if it's still haunting me. If you are still coveting that snail lamp by the end of the week I say you should buy it. It's the kind of thing that disappears,then you keep looking for something similar but never find it.
You know, just because something looks like something cool doesn't mean IT'S cool. Those lamps are butt-ugly, Montambo. For God sake. If someone were giving them to you, or they were on for 50 cents at a yard sale, I'd say have your fun. But I'm sorry, unlike Gretchen I cannot support you in this. I don't care if you're coveting that lamp by the end of your life. Do. Not. Buy it.
but Doni - how do you feel about the lamps?you use lamps for yeeeeeeeaaaaars! think of all the things you'll be spending money on that are dispensable in the amount of time you'll own that lamp.
and yes, you may look at it one day and say - eggads but in the meantime, enjoy! Those HUGE wooden kitchen utensils that hang on walls are "in vogue" again - maybe the snail lamp will have a 2nd run after a 10 or 20 year break.
I'm not saying buy it now - I'm saying when it goes on sale, buy a few less coffee's or something and buy it.
then take a picture of you french kissing it and send it to Doni.
Gretchen - kinda - sorta. I'm looking for something a little more delicate/maybe antique-y but that's close.
Marie,you want it to look like a beetle and not a scarab tho right? (i know same thing but "scarabs" tend to be bulky). I LOVE looking for jewelry.
Nick already posted a picture of what i want in the Amy Crackhouse thread.
Those lamps are butt-ugly, Montambo.
Your mom!
Your mom!
Marie: You are an enabler. Montambo: Some people you can't talk to. I am deeply pained to see that you are one of them.
And yes, those huge wooden utensils are in vogue again, but not with anyone who's in any way intelligent.When I lived in China, my ("very wealthy") neighbors wouldn't put their heat on at 32 BLOODY DEGREES. Turning on the kitchen light at night? There's already an anemic glow seeping in from the single bulb out there in the living room. Yes, the Chinese have rediscovered conspicuous consumption in the past decade, but I doubt they'll ever subscribe to impulse buying. Spending money on valuable articles is one thing; spending money on things of no value is quite another. And considering the Chinese typically buy their homes and apartments with 100% down payments ... well, I think that at this juncture we Americans could possibly learn just a tiny bit from them, NO?
Montambo (and everyone else on this forum): You are herewith only allowed to buy funny-tacky crap when the price is incredibly right. Don't make me come over and smack some unAmerican intelligence into you. Because I will by God do it.
Doni: Not funny or tacky. Just beautiful.
Also, I apologize for that "your mom." I didn't finish. I meant, "Your mom raised you to hate beautiful things. Pity."
:)

Doni - good thing you don't come across as pompous or anything. That would be so embarrassing.
This guy is pompous. Maybe you know him?[image error]
you mean she's like me? oh, in that case...she's just fine.
don't know Mr. Pompous - and shoot, me already dating someone!
Oh. Well, actually it would. Didn't know that was happening. Sorry.
Yes, this may be an inherent incongruity of loving hate. I guess no one ever said it would be easy.
But God knows it's worth it. Can't we all just hate along?
I'm trying to limit my hate to Mr. Pompous to this group...tho I did cross threads. But it may not be enough. I may have to go hate him directly....again. I'm getting addicted.
Too true. I don't think your in-laws will be back any time, soon, though.
What objects do YOU want, Haters?
