New Age Lamp

lamp needs work have all the pieces a bit of new age design

Here at INAD, we enjoy the use of language completely unmoored from standard definitions. It appeals to our Orwellian side – “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” that kind of stuff. Really, just call things whatever you want. It’s not my language, it’s ours.

I believe this poster and I have different understandings of what “new age” means. Somehow, without my ever finding out, it can apparently mean “decimated,” “useless,” and “fugly.” If this is the new age, give me the old days. And a slightly less ruined lamp.

Hey, that could be a free classified selling point – “slightly less ruined than the other _____ you’ll find.”

  1. I think when it’s assembled it’s supposed to look like flying saucers. You know, chariots of the gods and what-not. New Agers dig that crap. I’m just impressed, after trolling my own local craigslist free section, to see something that’s not rocks, wood, or manure.

    I love this site! Excellent content, I wish you updated more often. As for the lamp, all the parts are included, what more do you people want?

    Hookah for sure. Just thought it was a lamp after smoking to much….

    That’d actually be a classy lamp if you fixed it up.

    Here’s an idea if it has all the pieces put it together. You might even find a use for it.

    But if someone takes the lamp, that lid underneath will become too tempting. Someone might open it and find the body parts…
