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.
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?
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)
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!
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!
