i got this in my email from the beverly MA freecycle yahoo group the description is hilarious, just felt like sharing it.
"OFFER: incredibly ugly lamp. This lamp is so ugly, it is hilarious. It has awful flowers in every color of the rainbow. It was voted ugliest lamp in my collection of not very attractive lamps by my friends (well, actually, it was tied, but I like the other one). It will make a great joke gift for someone with good taste. I would keep it for a secret Santa gift but I have so little storage space. Although it is quite small, only about 8" high. "
