I’m going to go ahead and guess that this Pirates Of The Caribbean Home Theater is wooden leg accessible.

SpikeTV is advertising their presentation of Star Wars in the sexiest way possible. By featuring lightsaber glow-stick lights on a specially designed bus stop ad, of course. Sexiest way possible? I think so. The Dark Side is strong, my son. But using the power of The Force and your bus toll, you too can be a Jedi. Or at least ...

Much of the time, chandeliers are displayed as a room’s luxury centerpiece. Usually made of crystal or glass, I’m always so tempted to jump and swing from every chandelier I see, yet personal property laws tend to deter me from such actions.
