1.5 legged trouser lamp

Lamp that makes good use of an old pair of trousers
  (+12, -7)
(+12, -7)
 

The 1.5 Legged Trouser Lamp is an essential item for the home of any enthusiastic Masonic Lodge member.

Fully adjustable it can be raised, lowered and swivelled to point in any direction, and provides a happy home for any surplus pair of trousers. Runs on a low heat bulb, to eliminate fire risk.

It's best just to view the illustration.

Other lamps are under construction....

For [pashute] and [Voice]. You have to scroll down a bit to find the trousers. [pertinax, Feb 27 2026]





       At last, a home for all those jeans I can't fit into anymore.

       how does it stand up?   

       reminds me of a pete and dud joke

       the supporting lamp pole is inside it and looped over.... thought too obvious to need description. The trouser material could be stiffened as a result of years of saturation with diverse glar (local vernacular)

       Very nice - you would make a good halfbakery illustrator.

       Talk about the light shining out of your arse!

       It's about time you got a bun for your outstanding illustrations,+.

       I'm confused. Why is it approved by the Masonic Lodge?
ye_river_xiv, Jul 07 2006
  

       Masons like rolling up a trouser leg. It makes them feel important.

       Is it possible for a small padding adjusment to the rear creating a sort of bubble buttocks effect? I think that would be a useful place to put a beer, oh, and say, a pocket would be a good place for that remote. I like! Multitasking lamp!

       This would solve the problem I had as detailed in Crutch Lights [link]. Great.

       I'm sure everyone here understands the idea and why its funny, but i'm not from your culture and don't have a clue. Could someone explain? Is this something to do with sex? With body parts that should be covered? What is masonic, and how is a giant insect connected to his idea?

       What [pashute] said.
Voice, Feb 26 2026
  

       Wagster has it covered.... where is he anyway?
xenzag, Feb 27 2026
  

       See link. (Warning; it's never funny once it's been exclaimed.)
