I grew up in a wonderful era when you could still have shag carpet in your house and your friends wouldn't mock you

Ceramic and cork, you say?

Your wife is a very, very smart woman who plans well into the future, I suspect.

Hey, now! The ceramic came with the house, and replacing the carpet with cork just happened to be the idea of (double jerk of both thumbs back toward myself) yers truly.

I actually have an obsession with - and I realize I'm kind of setting myself up - cork.

You really are - but it's so much on the nose I can't bear to even go there. You'll have to release the tension on that particular set-up all on your own. . .

There is no shame in your lamp shenanigans whatsoever!

My brother and I used to zap each other with glee.

Well, if we ever meet in person, don't be surprised if I arrange for it to be at a place with deep carpet. We'll be like Yoda and Palpatine launching lightning at each other.
