Not In My Yard
When the big, inflatable Christmas figures first came out, I wanted some for our Christmas display. Not any more, not since I've seen what happens to them when it's windy. They sometimes.......make unintended motions.
Like this one that's at the off-ramp intersection by my college. It's a group of snowmen, a dad and a mom snowman that's holding a baby snowman between them. The other night I was waiting for the light to change, I noticed the wind was blowing dad's hand around making it look like he was repeatedly smacking the baby in the head. Hard.
It's not just the Christmas ones, there's also a big inflated Ronald on the top of the McDonald's over by the mall. I was sitting in traffic one breezy day, and noticed one of Ronald's hands had gotten loose. It was moving vigorously up & down and let's just say that he wasn't waving at passersby....and there was a reason he was smiling so broadly.
I started laughing so hard I could barely drive when the light changed.
So, no thanks.
Not in my yard.

If it weren't so disgusting, I'd say something about how this casts the Happy Meal in a whole new light.

I still get the giggles every time I drive past that McDonald's.
