This used to be kind of a big thing in popular media. Any party that got sufficiently wild would have somebody put a lampshade on their head cause I guess that's the sort of nutty thing a real party animal might do. But I don't think I've ever seen anybody do this and I'm skeptical that it was ever prevelent. Among other things, it usually takes a little bit of work to get a lampshade off the lamp and your hosts would probably stop you at some point.

But what do i know. Maybe it happens all the time. Have you ever seen this happen in real life? Have you done it yourself?

I heard from my parents that wearing the lampshade was a thing guys did because your dick was then the light switch

My parents did a LOT of drugs, like mescaline and riding motorcycles in the dark, or PCP and freaking out, so I kinda trust them when it comes to lore about over the top behavior

there's a house a couple miles from me that i walk/run past from time to time that always has one of those leg lamps lit up in front of an open window at night. i first noticed it in the late 2010s and it's still there, illuminated every time.

Yes, but only because it was such a media staple. I once went out and bought an old lamp for its lampshade from a drift store and took the lampshade to wear as a hat at a university party, because I was an insufferable dork.

Nobody at the party got it.

Perhaps it was delivered to the homeowner as some sort of significant accolade and they can’t bear to part with it.
