I'm not even sure where to start on this one.
When we moved into the house a few things bugged me, but the exploding pineapple made me crazy. I don't think a photo can really even do it justice. To say it was ugly would be like saying Fra Angelico was a house painter. I honestly can't even put it into words. It drove me crazy. Jason could have cared less. He was on the road at least 4 days a week. He really never spent much time in the front of the house. Somehow, he had the odd ability to look past it. What?!? Before we moved in, I painted a few rooms but that was really it. We decided to have a birthday party for the kids and I wanted that light out before the party. Jason thought I had lost it and said people would never notice. Again, what?!? I FINALLY convinced him to let me order a new light. I told my friends we would get drunk and wear the exploding pineapple on our heads. I thought about attaching it to the back of the car and dragging it down the road like the cans on the back of a freshly married couple's car.
In the end, my Dad cut it down. It lived in my garage for a few months while I contemplated what do do with it. Ultimately, it landed in the garbage. I did take a few of the pheasant feathers out as a souvenir.
