The Good Banter Thread

[addy1]

check out what I found on home depot sight who would guess and there are more

That is design toscano stuff, I bought some from their site, paint peeled off after a few months outside. Alligators sank, I called them they said if you want our outside statues outside you need to protect them. Never got any help with the sinking, supposed to be floating alligators. The paint on them peeled also. Expensive stuff that is very neat looking, but will not last as a garden statue.

I too bought stuff from that place and remember the sucking gator episode, well that didn't hold up patching them either and they sank again so they are land gators now and the paint is coming off. The Parrot and the Iguana I bought both live indoors now as I didn't want them to get ruined. They should tell you right from the start that you need to protect them w/a special sealant when using outdoors, otherwise they do look nice when they don't get wrecked. They did give me my money back for the gators. Don't know why they didn't give addy her money back as it is a total ripoff to have sinking gators that are supposed to float!

I think if you sprayed it with a water repellant it may last longer .I used that stuff on some plastic stuff I have and it has been out side winter and summer for 9 years .I like the standing gator it looks neat

I took plastic spray paint, sprayed the bear brown again, then sprayed it with urethane, Still looking good. It was becoming a polar bear had lost so much paint

Enjoy the evening out there on your porch sissy. We just had a thunderstorm go by and drop a bunch of rain on us all of a sudden. Not good for a just getting painted house. Hubby went out and looked and it seems all the paint is staying in place,whew!

Now that Mr. Snowden has been welcomed into Russian society I can't help but wonder what will happen if he uses his tecnological skills to peruse Russian state secrets? If his Russian hosts were to become unpleased with his actions he could always run to the American Embassy to seek asylum.

I'm quite sure there is a dead man floating face down in our garden pond. ...................Ashame really, the authorities will probably trod all about the place.

It's late, the Dallas County Coroner's Techs have removed the poor fellow. He had on a very expensive looking three piece suit (had a noticeable red stain on the back) and stylish Bally shoes. Saw the Bally insigina inside his left shoe when it fell of his foot as he was taken out of the pond. Nice watch too.

The Desoto PD Detectives will not let us say much about the case. Would not even let us be interviewed by the media.They have nothing to worry about since we do not know anything except that I found a dead guy in our little pond.

The whole place is closed off by crime tape with bright lights (surely irritating the neighbors), illuminating the crime scene. Also have a wireless video camera sending a live feed back to the PD. Forgot to mention the police department is about one mile from our home. We have a young police officer overnight house guest. The PD seems to be concerned someone might be prowling about. Nice young man. Reminds us of our police officer nephew Robert who lives in South Alabama.

The DPD will surely be back first thing tomorrow morning. Oh, I almost forgot. It was so cool having a couple of media helicopters hovering overhead.

My story could be fiction but then again it could be real. You decide.

Goodnight my friends.

I'm hoping above all hopes that you just woke up and this was all part of some wild dream that you had. If it is fiction that you wrote, I like it and you should continue. I like scary mysteries. But now if it's real (which I don't think it is) then what a mess

 

[Big Lou]

It was original fiction j.w., no nightmare. I really do hope to write short stories or even a book.
