You don't just get a lava lamp, you start a collection

This needs a bump. How about my Tequila Milagro Agave lamp next to my lava lamp?
It also needs a little salt around the rim and perhaps a wedge of lime.

I used to have one back in the time when you got a free one when you bought a waterbed at a certain store here. All I needed was red shag carpet.
I just turned the thing on, noticed it was covered in 5 layers of dust and fingerprints, so I'm cleaning it up and will post a pic in a little while when it gets going.
There is another "bottle" in the basement on the kid's shelf, but I don't know where the lamp part went.
In the meantime, if anyone knows what THIS is (see pic) I'll be impressed. I'll be MORE impressed if someone HAS one!

Yes, please do post the photos! I do not recognize that lamp. If it had a sealed globe, it would look like a Tesla device. Please tell us!

It's not a lamp. It is a lawn sprinkler! There's a place to attach a hose on the side and the "loop" spins and sprays water. I saw it in a tent at a local fair and it was so bizzaar looking I had to have it for my desk.
Here's the reason for the thread...

Not even if I were given 1,000 guesses would I have said Lawn sprinkler!
Thanks for the lava!

I didn't know that's what it was until AFTER I bought it! I thought it was just a "so ugly it's cool" item for my desk. The "globe" is just a silver Christmas tree ornament. I LOVE stuff like that! I have a small tight beam spotlight that went with a mirror ball my kids wrecked. When you turn off the lights and shine it on that ornament it makes a cool reflected light in the room.
