I Hope This Isn't Anti-Climatic....

You asked for it...Children Riding the Alligator. Courtesy of the my neighbor with a raging case of the CRAZIES. I was able to capture the picture this afternoon on a stealth mission. Thank goodness I survived. Enjoy. Happy Easter/Passover/Spring...

DUDE! The people on the other side of the hedge from us have A FULL SIZED LIFELIKE RHINOCEROUS in their backyard. I'll post and we'll put a poll out.
People are weird.

you took a picture of my yard?

hee hee just kidding.

And I thought my neighbors were odd!

That creeps me out. I mean, I'm totally aware it's made of some non-living materials, but it makes me think of what a dangerous idea that would be in real life. Children riding a pony? Sure. Children riding a friendly-looking dog? Okay. But children on an alligator? Who thought of that?

Oy vey. That's all I can say.

You have mad skills as a private investigator.

Would you mind asking your neighbor where she got that? I needs me one of those!

I try to imagine the person in the store yelling "Hun... I found it. We just HAVE to get this for our yard!" Now... I can imagine me saying that to my husband in the most sarcastic tone ever. Somebody said that for real though. wow

Wow.... Can't believe that's in your neighborhood. But I think I'll trade you the alligator for the neighbor who pees in his yard! (passthechocolate.blogspot.com/2007/03/dear-neighbor.html)

I worked for a company that made ornamental concrete crap, er items. We never made anything like that.

Dang that's fugly and stupid.

That's just disturbing!

It must have been made by the same company that made my neighbors' full-sized giant tortoise statue. I'll take a pic of it too. It appeared for the first time shortly after I came home from the hospital with my daughter. I looked out the window one morning, and there it was. I thought I was hallucinating from lack of sleep. I wish that were true!

Can't wait to see your pic too, Moosh!

1st thought: Who buys something like that?

2nd thought: Who SELLS something like that??

Wow - just found this courtesy of Pass the Chocolate! - What a weird sculpture - pretty close to dangerous in my neck of the woods since my daughter is just the type of kid whom on seeing that would think it's a-okay to jump on an alligator's back the next (likely) time she see's one! Yikes!
