Friend, reader, and commenter brad_in_ma gave me an early birthday present on Sunday when we went shooting. Knowing my love of the movie "A Christmas Story", he got me a little something that he knew I'd appreciate:
You'll shoot your eye out, kid!
Heh. Now comes the hard part: Where do I put this "major award"???
That is all.

Yeah, a STATUE!
David,
Not a statue, a night-light sized Leg Lamp.

Just remember it's fraaaagiileeaaa.
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day.
And here I thought you were going to get a Red Rider BB gun...
Just remember it's fraaaagiileeaaa.Must be Italian...
Brad, I believe David was referring to the line in the movie...
Oh, and Mrs. G. was struck by the implausibility of a member of the Tribe giving a birthday present from "A Christmas Story"... ;)
Thanks Knitalot3! It's been a good day. Would have been better if I could have found some birthday ammo...
Regolith,
Already got one... *g*
"brad_in_ma" took me a few seconds to understand. That's "ma" as in Massachusetts, not "ma" as in Ma. No, no, that would be so wrong on so many different levels. Yeesh, where the hell did my mind wander off to???
Hope the birthday was filled with fun, and avoided any urgent care centers.
maybe it's a bowling alley!
Orange,
WRT my 'handle', I purposely use caps for 'MA' -- the USPS standard abbreviation for The Peoples' Republic of Massachusetts.
Jay, I looked up movie quotes last night I had the same realization - it was a quote. Guess that's what happens when I've only seen bits & pieces of the film and it was decades ago. Give me a PhD in 'duh' for that one. As for the implausibility you cite, just because I'm a member of The Tribe doesn't mean I'm not aware of others faiths. I'll trust you explained that it wasn't about faith but rather about that stoopid movie.
