LMAO..sounds like a ton of fun though.

fake.

i have had people over that thought ours was a live tree, so asthetically, i'm okay.

i do miss the smell of a live (sort of) tree though.

i know this may sound odd, but even as a kid, watching a live tree slowly wither away always brought me down.

Don't be dissing the Paint. I've got mad paint skillz. My sig was completely made in Paint, besides the cropping. That was done with Infranview (the free Myspace photo resizer).

returning to the original question..
(nothing like a good hijack)


this is all you need..
says in the manual "it will never be the same pattern for over 100 hrs"

whatever that means..

but theres only 1 lightbulb..
and a spinning color disc below it..
all fiber optic...
cat proof

i like it..its good to stare at when your stoned..





...zap!

Started years ago cutting our tree with a short but beautiful trip to the mountains, made me feel good, got some exercise. Did that for about 18 years, always happy with what I got. Started to get a little old so we bought a fake tree. I was happy with that too. Less work, no gas and wear/tear on my truck. Now I buy a bottle of Wild Turkey, place a wreath around it, light a candle and recall the good times. That makes me feel good and warm too.
