James Brown
Just sorting out house and found this. Wife insists it's thrown or goes in the loft! Picked it up in Vegas about 10 years ago.

Big mistake, when a wife gives two options (this or that) it always means this.

Haha particularly at week 30 of pregnancy!!!! Actually, I've found a way around this; if I pretend to be interested in the paraphernalia that she's bought the new baby, I can pretty much get away with anything!!!!!

My first thought was, 'James Brown was Jewish?' Then I realized how you were using the figure.

If you are a huge fan of James Brown, I think you've found an ideal way to utilize what would otherwise be a definite white elephant and if it were me, I'd keep it for just the purpose that it seems to be used for in the photo.

Otherwise, I'd put it up on ebay.

Of course, there's always the third option of just tossing it to keep the domestic equilibrium.

Well, I see I'm late to the party again. Belay the above.

Put the hardest working man in America on EBay, use the bread to buy the compilation of his greatest hits.

Keep it display it. I can't stand homes that look like a page out of a magazine , all sterile .

Hang your deer heads, display your softball trophies, that jar of your granddads marbles .

James would be dressed up for each holiday in our home !
