Woman wins temporary right to display ‘flipped finger’ lights on her home at Christmas, judge rules

Just in time for the holidays, a Louisiana judge ruled on Thursday that a woman had a right to offer her neighbors an unusual seasons greeting by hanging Christmas lights on her house shaped like a middle finger.

Sarah Childs was in a dispute with some of her neighbors in Denham Springs, just east of Baton Rouge, so she decided to send a message with her decorations.

Neighbors complained and police threatened to arrest her, so she teamed up with the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana and sued the city.

Now that’s the spirit!

When my life changed, I wanted it back the way that it was. Now that I’ve grown accustomed to the “new normal” I couldn’t possibly go back to the old.

I didn’t stretch this morning and consequently my left arm feels tingly.

In unrelated news, coffee is a sweet heaven.

No longer content with a train that runs in a circle on the living room floor, here are five really big examples of really tiny train sets.

Engine #9 was the only dream the boy ever had.

Karen O is my hero.

The opposite of love
Held on high
From up up up above
Kept my high
From the second one
Kept my eye
On the first one

Now take these rings
And stow them safe away
I’ll wear them on
Another rainy day
Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I’ll wear them on
Another rainy day

Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I’ll wear them on
Another rainy day
Take these rings
And stow them safe away
I’ll wear them on
Another rainy day

Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off
And she’s
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off
And he’s
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off
And we’re
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off

I think that I’m bigger

She’ll take on high
She’ll take on high-igh

Well sometimes
I think that I’m bigger
Than the sound
I think that I’m bigger
Than the sound
I think that I’m bigger
Than the sound
Well I think that I’m bigger
Than the sound

When in doubt about the future, this very moment will have to do.

“Finding the joy in this very moment” is the meaning of life after all.
