Hi All,

I knew this rang a bell.  Remember the movie "The Christmas Story" 
1983 where the kid ("Ralphie", played by Peter Billingsley) 
desperately wants a Red Ryder BB gun, his Dad (Darren McGavin) 
has a mania for entering contests and the best thing he ever won was 
the lamp that was a womans leg in fishnet stockings??  and his 
brother Randy looked like the Michelin Man when all bundled up in 
the winter???  <g>

Mr. Jean Shepherd wrote a book called "In God We Trust: All Others 
Pay Cash" - copyright 1966  Doubleday, 1972   

I believe much of the movie came from that book.
