When decorating for the holidays, these people were thinking:
"Why should home owners be the only ones with unsightly lights? Apartment complexes can be hideous, too, damnit."

"Christmas is the time of year when I embrace my inner barber."
"I can't decide. Just use them all. BUT - be sure to leave a random bald spot on the lawn. We don't want to be obnoxious."
"Everything in the 'Christmas Lights' box is going up. Regardless of whether it works. And, no, I don't plan to ever look at it, so I'll never know."
"The deer's main food source is luminous ground squirrel droppings. And I won't have this phenomenon of nature go unrecognized at the holidays."
"No one will unload their RV shitter into our gutter if our house doesn't look *just* like the Griswalds. And that is something I can not bear."

"We have a dead tree stump and want everyone to know about it."
"This is the only shape I can make with rope lights."

More soon - cheers.

Rope lighting is an affront to good taste, bad taste and everything in between. I HAVE seen in wrapped around a go-go dancer to good effect, but it was 1994 and I was really wasted.
Yeah, baby! Unleash the fugliness! What in the world were these people thinking? There should be a penalty on their electric bill for "misuse of public utilities."
Great quotes, BTW. I'm particularly fond of the deer's luminous food source.
Steven - Don't tell my neighbors that they can wear rope lights.
Shelley - Misuse of public resources? That is awesome and I will inform them that their citation is forthcoming.
