Not only will we eat like kings, but we will have airplanes flying into our house (while we are gone and Mark and Kevin are still there of course) :D

Umm how would you balance the electrial load on that? I doubt you could do it with regular lights. Prob have to go with like 18 guage wire.

Maybe its because its 2 AM, but does anyone else think that doesnt make sense?

Because a house can't really own anyone.... Except for the wicked witch of the west... But that's a TOTALLY different story.

Or perhaps if it was illuminating some sort of late night pecan pie eating contest?

Uhmmmm... you wouldn't need any special wiring... just lots of it. Trust me... I, as well as many of my friends, put up massive Christmas light displays. Several of them have multiple utility entrances so that they have enough power. One man uses 3 separate tractor-powered high amperage generators to run the display.

BTW... It's MUCH more impressive if you have a computer controlling the power switching, so that you can pattern your lights! :)

When your out door HID lighting doesn't have a housing with proper cut off and spills too much light on adjacent properties, they consider it disturbance of peace.

If that's disturbance of peace, why isn't this?

Nice neighbors. Nearly every christmas light display that myself or any of my friends put up is considered a disturbance of peace. However... someone has to complain before a citation is issued. Most likely, nice neighbors is the case.

Maybe they mean the homeowner is being "owned" by the power company?

Whatever they meant, its WAYYYY too much thinking for an "owned" pic....
