        I don’t think it’s supposed to be a t-Rex leg either. Isn’t it a cartoon lion or tiger leg?

        Is a send up of the lamp from the Christmas Story movie:

          I’m not sure how to respond here. Obviously it’s a reference to the leg lamp. That was never in question.

          I was responding to the alt text of the image that called it a furry rendition, saying it was a probably better akin to a scaly rendition.

          Editing this to be less confrontational: It’s not really important to establish exactly what fantasy creating the lamp depicts. It’s stylized, either way, so we’re not going to be able to say it’s one thing or the other. It’s got four toes like cats, non-retractable claws like t-rex’s, and an implied rear claw, similar to a t-rex first toe.

            Sorry I posted the link because there seemed to be doubt about whether it had scales or stockings.
