Neon Signs
I got through step three of the Neon Sign Configurator before I came to my senses. “What on Earth am I going to do with a neon sign?!” I had a Beta Brite at one point, and it was a lot of fun (for five minutes). A neon sign does nothing but sit there and light up. What's so exciting about that? Yeah, it's neon – like the glowing charm bracelets that come out of hibernation at night in every amusement park the world over. Besides, I wouldn't really know what I'd want to put on a neon sign? Given that the owner of our rental home doesn't want to pay for (or have us self-install) curtains for our front-facing windows, I'm considering making one that says “The Latthanapon Indharasophang Reality Show.” Can they make neon signs THAT long? Will the neighbors appreciate the obscene glow when I fire it up at 2AM? I could throw 'em a curve ball and go Newon instead of neon. Oh, here's an idea: what if I have it say something like “The World's Most Garish and Overpriced Bug Zapper?” That'd be a semi-functional neon sign.
