Black Wednesday Afternoon Diversion: Christmas Lights and Slayer FTW!

The Thanksgiving weekend is usually the time where houses throughout the area start exploding in a wash of lights and decorations. Some beautiful, most tacky. Seriously, if you're only going to hang up a few icicle lights and an inflatable Santa, you aren't coming correct. Same goes for you weekend warriors with enough lights to set the Loop afire but think simply stapling them to the roof is enough

We want to see outside the box thinkers like the guy behind this home, who not only took the time to test and design the patterns for his lights, but synchronize them to Slayer's "Raining Blood." Maybe he found the religious subtext behind Tom Araya's lyrics we missed 'cause we were too busy staring at the pony cans of Stella Artois on the back cover of the "Reign in Blood" vinyl. Or maybe he comes from an alternate Earth where Herod tracked down the baby Jesus and they celebrate it every December.

Anyway, that is your benchmark.
