Post Like Christmas Story? Go live it for yourself!
http://www.achristmasstoryhouse.com/

From the press release:

Brian Jones, 30 of San Diego, is a true fan of the movie and a young entrepreneur. The former Navy intelligence officer not only sells leg lamps – just like the one featured in the movie – for a living, but he also purchased the Cleveland house used in the film. Jones bought the house – sight unseen and without ever visiting Ohio – in an eBay auction. His wife, who serves in the military, e-mailed him about the online listing as her ship was on its way to the Middle East. Since January 2006, he has been renovating the house to its original movie appearance.

I so want to go!

I used to like a band called SFA. Scott Farkus Affair. Don't know what their new stuff is like. This movie though is a contemporary classic if there ever was such a thing.
