So if you don't think that a giant lighted phallus is likely to save a life in a Christmas miracle, well this thread is for you. This is my neighborhood, and this is my neighbor ... both of which are pretty hysterical.

My neighbor was interviewed on the radio and explained that as an ex-marine, he did it as a joke because the guy across the street (and up the hill) was ex Navy and ... so this makes sense in guy land.

Lately, they've mostly kept it turned off because there was too much traffic and the HOA (which is pretty cool for the most part) asked him to tone it down. I was out the other day taking photos for my Be The Light song, and it was a little classier

So around the corner from here, we recently had a terrible house fire - one house burned entirely, two scorched/melted by the first. And so that brings us to the story - which I must say was a bit underdone by the local paper. capitalgazette.com/news/ac-cn-pen…

Per the story, one of the new residents M. Shanker went out on foot to find the magic phallus, but could not find it. She headed by to her house, but a friend called to say she knew where it was, so they headed out again.

And so we arrive at the point: "“The penis lights kept her from harm,” said Mary Newman, Shanker’s friend. “It was a Christmas miracle.” She would have been in the house, probably asleep, except for the penis lights.

The home - and everything in it - were destroyed "“Had we not been out looking for the Cape Penis house who knows what kinds of injuries myself and friends could have sustained,” Shanker said.

If you want to help the two families that were in the house:
Paul

Melissa

And so, while I considered putting the penis house in my Be The Light photos, since they were all taken here in the neighborhood, I didn't. And yet it turns out that my dude was indeed being the light in a very miraculous Christmas way.
