Perfect timing! I got the instructions for How to Make a “Christmas Story” Lamp from Grump just in time to make one for the wife for Christmas. Shhhh! Don’t spoil the surprise!
Extreme Geekiness:

So I wrote a Makefile with targets such as “drill-toe-holes” and “attach-stocking”, with appropriate dependencies between them, and let make figure out in which order to do things.
“Extreme Geekiness”? Ya think?

Yup, that’s extreme geekiness. Hehe. I hate that movie. It’s creepy.
i’m afraid we’re going to need to see your geek license before we let you perform any such creation 😛
*mwah*
I just received a catalog that has that same lamp in it.
