Garden Zombie

See here. Beats hell out of those wimpy trolls. I’ll bet there’s no “liberation movement” for THESE guys.

Aahhh, Toscano. Home of the tackiest coffee tables money can buy. This one comes with a “round tempered glass top for views from any angle.” I can think of at least one angle I don’t want to be looking at that thing from!

I do kinda like the zombie, though.

Green Bean, I look at that link:

…and I imagine an adendum to that dialogue between Jubal Harshaw and Ben Caxton in Stranger in a Strange Land
Ben: (Moving on from the reproduction of Rodin’s The Fallen Caryatid to the Toscane Sumo Glass-Topped Table) And what’s this supposed to represent?

Jubal: Toscano’s making a statement about bad art, Ben…

I wonder how many of those they’ll sell?

At least one more! I love that. But then, I have a dinosaur on my garden deck that has a motion sensor in it. When you walk past it, it makes a dino growl. Actually, that is past tense. Eventually, the elements killed the mechanism.

So it’s extinct?

Yes, but I have a fossil record.

OK, I must subscribe to a thread with this much class.

If they weren’t so expensive I’d buy a crate of them to surreptitiously place in backyard compost piles across town.

My Xmas request to santa is taken care of now. The real issue will be

  1. getting 'nother one
  2. getting time off
  3. getting money
  4. flying to hawaii and installing it in my brothers garden
  5. waiting
  6. watching him walk outside in the morning with a cuppa coffee
  7. watching him jump 12 feet in the air
  8. watching him dispatch it with his work sidearm
  9. laughing
  10. hoping he doesn’t dispatch me, too.

No, no, paint them, photograph them in the back yard of someone you don’t like, remove the statue and mail the photo to the police.
Oh my, this has potential…

As I am decidedly short on flower beds I can see one of those turning up in my laundry room.

Heh. My sister sent me one for my birthday last month. I put it in the back bedroom/office.

It would be great as a wall hanging as well.

If they have smaller versions, you could also have House Zombies. You know, to put in your linen closet and stuff.

Drop by our house any Monday evening and i can show you a couple of real house zombies.

OK, Halloween is on at my house this year! And I’ll probably leave it out year-round!

Wow. Y’all are … wow.

So how many do you think they’ll sell to non-Dopers?

None, nada, zip. We will buy them out.

:: tries to think of method to insert a zombie statue into the city composting system ::

I notice that the description states that it has ‘lifelike’ eyes. I suspect this is an inaccuracy.

There has to be a way to tie it in with the CityTV news truck as well.
