Wonderful;

Thank you, Dale, for countenancing presentation here of lovely sculptural re-purposing of the death fork. this is in the tolerant spirit of a listmeister for a vampire-dedicated group letting his flock being shown really nice cranium-based pots as garlic bulb keepers.

Two matters of concern and interest:

Is the switch for the lamp actuated by the obscenely placed brake lever?

The spiral compact fluorescent bulb and its light seem intrinsic to the sculpture. And, to read defenses of tungsten filament bulbs that are on-topic in some other old-skool listserv, the health hazard potential of a broken bulb, should this fork fail in another mode --simple toppling -- restates the art. A fork re-purposed to kill another way.

The beauty of this grows on me. How much for shipping to the West Coast?
