If its a covenant, they can't really do anything. Homeowners is another matter. If you can't get fined, I'd say have a little fun.... Hillbilly style. Place a toilet in the front yard and make it a planter. Paint the house pink. Put a mattress on the front porch. Sleep on the mattress. Get a large doghouse. Don't get a dog. At dusk, walk around the neighborhood with aluminum foil on your head. Let everyone know you have to keep out the "mind control waves." Wear a halter top and Daisy Dukes while mowing the lawn. Offer your neighbors pickled pigs feet as a "peace offering." Eat ALOT of onions and insist on long, drawn out conversations. Fly the "Jolly Roger" flag from your front porch. Fire up the grill and throw stuffed animals into the flames while chanting, "All hail the master, Sponge Bob!" Well, that should do it for now.
Another good one is to take one of those 6 volt lantern batteries and tape a junkyard motorcycle horn to it. Throw it on the neighbors roof (try to have it land in their gutters) @ 3:am. Works great for a few hours,so i've heard ;p Or just give us your address, we'll have.... 1st annual 4042 burnout contest? Lawnmower races? Skeet shooting? Monster truck rally?
Every night at 8:30, walk into your front yard with a flashlight. Lay down in the yard and flash on/off into the sky. While everyone is sleeping, make a crop circle. The next morning, take pictures of your lawn. Warn the chief "hen pecker" of the potential of "alien probes." Resume walking around the neighborhood with the aluminum foil helmet. Make sure to carry a random kitchen utensil for protection. Egg beaters work well. The "clanking" sound discourages would-be alien predators.
I'm sure we'd all appreciate having a renter who presents this attitude in our neighborhoods to help our property values. :roll:
LMAO!!!!!! Yes, I like this idea, put some pine straw or mulch around them. Now THAT would be funny!!! :lol::lol::lol:
We actually do fly the "Jolly Roger" flag from our front porch. I'm looking for it now but haven't been able to find it since I took it down last summer. My DS loves pirates so my parents bought him the flag. I think it's funny when it's up, but I always wonder what the neighbors think. HG - want to borrow it?
OMG! Ya'll are 2 damn much. :lol::lol::lol: I LOVE ALL OF THE IDEAS!!! :twisted: DH cut our 5 weeds yesterday :? I told him to leave 'em, they are just little weeds!! I'll have to take a walk today (dern it) and take some pics of houses that were WAY worse than ours. Daredevil, you almost made me cry, you know me so well! :grouphug: :lol:
OMG...I almost busted out laughing when I read this. But I'm at work (for only another 15 mins :hurray: ) so I can't. Maybe some gnomes and flamingos can get in on the action!
I had one of those at my old house. My ex INSISTED upon us getting one. I no longer have it--got tossed when I moved from there. In my neighborhood now, most places barely have a front yard. And yet, they have 3-4 of those things. There's a house over in my former MIL's neighborhood (next door to mine) that seems to get more and more of those things each year. And they barely have a front yard too! I thought they were tacky. My ex was a clone of Clark Griswold.
I think posting a sign in your yard stating the following: TO THE ASSHAT THAT INSIST ON NOTICING ME ON EVERY TURN... BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH THIS UNTIL AUGUST. I RENT. ...and every week there would be something new to deal with.:lol: I would first bring out the Clark Griswold Christmas Decor! But since hubby killed your dandelion crop... I'm taking that as he isn't on board for this torture the neighbors crusade? 8)
