Believe me, I was aware. At first I said 13-, then 11-, but my "pervdar"
hoped 7 would be safe.

The late George Gobel lived across the street from (memory fuzzy here)
either Stan Laurel or Lou Costello. The neighbor in question used to put
up a monumental Crass-Mess light display, which "Lonesome George" could
not or would not try to equal. This being Hollywood, hordes of
rubberneckers would always tour the stars' neighborhoods to look at their
lights. Gobel dealt with the situation by putting up a sign in his front
yard, illuminated by a single bulb. The sign said, "Merry Christmas.
Please see our light display across the street."

Wow... I have to believe it's for real - the way the lights light up
the house and make it hard to believe that it's a photoshop job (in
which case the video quality would probably be better, too).
Besides, I suspect it might take less time to actually wire up that
mess than to photoshop the video convincingly.
BTW, I saw a TSO Christmas concert once in Las Vegas (my one and only
trip to that town, I'd suspect). Outstanding show for both the
heathen and believers among us - don't miss it if you get the chance
to see it.

I heard about a very clever use of these phony deer with lights. One guy
near here hung one of them up from a tree by the antlers, and put a bunch of
red lights under it as a festive "gut pile" in honor of the local deer
hunting season.

I will try to get a picture of one of the houses that I pass by on the way
to work every morning. This place is ridiculous, the amount of x-mas ****
that he has on his lawn and house. I think he has won the prize for the past
couple of years for being the most outdone house on Long Island. He starts
putting up his display immediately the next day after Labor Day. He is
usually done by before December. I have never seen anything like it.

I can't imagine these people's electricity bills...
I remember we used to have these neighbors who would put up some tacky
lawn display for every event. This wasn't a neighborhood of big houses
but older duplexes with small front lawns. The couple were kind of goobs
and I got the feeling they had mostly lived in apartments and were
thrilled to have any kind of lawn. Plus they had a kid. For christmas,
they'd put up lights on their front lawn (on a bush) and leave them up
until april That's normal around here, since it's too cold to take them
down. Then they'd put easter eggs on the little bush-tree (plastic
easter eggs) and leave those up for a while, then the canadian flag for
canada day which would be up practically until labor day, and then not
long after that, some halloween displays (which was a big thing in that
area, everyone would put up big deal halloween lawn displays with
corpses etc). It was kind of amusing actually.... they moved before we
did. The next family that moved in had three noisy kids and very little
money so the only thing they put up was a few xmas lights and an irish flag.
