These amazing lights are perfect to decorate your porch, deck, entertainment center, family room, bachelor party, shrubbery ... basically, wherever there's beer, these lights will fit right in.

So, Badsnake, you ask, "What's the deal with these lights?" The answer is, money. We've had a lot of extra medical bills this year, Deb's insurance got downgraded and doesn't cover her GP anymore, and the liquor store decided, on top of that, not to give their employees a raise this year. This is the best thing I could think of to help raise some extra dough.

I make these lights myself. Well, I buy the light strands, then gather or buy the shotgun hulls from my own sources, slit them up the side, and slide them onto the bulbs. I test every set before I mail them out, and you get whatever spare bulbs that came with the light set, plus one of those twinkle fuse deal-ios to make the lights blink if you want. I guarantee good color variety for the multi-color sets.

I can also do custom strands in team colors, like orange on a white light strand for Univ. of Tennessee or black and yellow for Georgia Tech or black and red for Univ. of Georgia. Any color combination of red, black, maroon, green, yellow, or orange (multi-color strands have additional colors, these are just the colors that I have enough of to do in one- or two-color combos).

I hope to put these up on eBay soon, too, but Badsnake readers can have first dibs.

So, are you looking for the perfect dorm room decoration? A way to make your RV ravishing? Some banging bling bling for your Christmas tree? A unique garland for your computer monitor at work, guaranteed* to make people stop annoying you? (*Not really. And I am not responsible for what might happen if you take a string of shotgun shell hull lights to work.)
