This day in Slice history (1999)

Maybe the problem you’re having with your outdoor holiday lighting display is that you lack a theme.

So here are a few ideas, just to get you started.

“Visions of garishness danced upside their heads.”

“Ground zero.”

“The Shining.”

“Frosty the Glowman.”

“Three wise men and an extension cord.”

“Candle power to the world.”

“Rudolph, you’re cleared to approach on 6-1-Niner.”

“Commercialization’s victory.”

“Merry and bright — extremely bright.”

“The Revenge of Reddy Kilowatt.”

“A luminescent tribute to Holly Jolly Burl ‘Big Daddy’ Ives.”

“We don’t need no stinkin’ fuse box.”

“Viva Las Spokane.”

“Let heaven and nature scream.”

“Yule put your eye out (if you stare at the lights without sunglasses).”

“Intent to injure.”

“How do we do it? Volume!”

“Waiting for the governor’s pardon.”

“The littlest fire hazard.”

“Are you ready to rumble?”

“Hello out there in outer space.”

“This isn’t what Linus meant.”

“Hydroelectric Ladyland.”

“Get a load of my next Avista bill.”

“George Bailey does peyote.”

“Gigawatts on parade.”
