I only wish this house had been in my neighborhood when I was growing up and trick or treating. I would have toilet-papered it so solidly they'd still be finding pieces of it today, just like you find those miserable little pine needles off your Christmas tree centuries after the holidays.The house is across the street from me here in the Hills and whenever I walk by, I always want to shout, "They're called gardeners, people. Look into it."
That is bad. If they don't have gardners then kids or rabbits would definately help.
ReplyDeleteGo to Wal-Mart (Oh, yes you do so have one in your neighborhood - you live in America!) and buy a spray bottle of Round-Up in the garden section. Carry it with you when you walk past the place late at night and just let the spritzing muse dictate what to do next. Hey, it can't look much worse dead.
ReplyDeleteseriously why didn't you toilet paper the damn thing? last night i handed nothing out- i went to the mall while my kid was with her dad...i kinda liked not having to get up and down all night for trick or treaters.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I gave out last night was a...well it wouldn't be ladylike to mention here, but you're a fellow scorpio so I'll leave it up to your imagination ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes the shared custody thing really works out - not having to schlep up and down and around the neighborhood was just what I needed last night (mostly because the night before I was overseeing the baking and decorating of 4 dozen cupcakes and ghost cakes!).
That yard could be so gorgeous!!! Maybe for the holidays you should send a gardner over there (don't pay him, just tell him yes yes they sooo want you to fix all that mess for C.O.D!).
It's officially our birthday month! Let the libation consumption commence!
It does make for a good haunted house though.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought your X-ray was a photo of a Ghost. As if they can be photographed, or as if they exist.
anne, believe it or not, I'm one of the only ones in the neighborhood who doesn't like it.
ReplyDeleteJami, no WalMarts in LA.
beckie, did you give out condoms to kids? How funny would that be for the parents?
plain jane, you and beckie had a lot in common last night.
gm, ghosts can be photographed, and then carefully photoshopped.
Oh, they're there - they just disguise them as Home Depot.
ReplyDeleteSuzy,
ReplyDeleteHave you checked the name on the mailbox? Is it Hansel and Gretel?
Aloha,
Martha Jane
mj, that's exactly what it looks like. And I swear, I'm the only one who hates it.
ReplyDeleteYou may be the only one who hates it in YOUR neighborhood, but I'm sending some remote dissin' suport your way from here. I can tell that these folks subscribe to the "Why just do it when you can OVER do it?" school of landscaping. Not good.
ReplyDelete(Seriously, get some Round-Up.)
OK. I'm torn. I LOVE the line, but I kinda like the house, too...
ReplyDeletejami, great minds etc.
ReplyDeletemadmad, it's okay to like it. I like plenty of shit that others hate.
Shhhh - you might wake the scary neighbor people.
