6. I have all of those things.
This is my porch. Note the rocking chair.


I also own a 12-gauge shotgun.

I'm ready.

11. Yeah, well....
I told him that if he ever tries that shit with me, I'm going to grab one of his own cats and throw it at him.

If the old man wants to fuck with the kids, he's gotta pay the price, I always say. ;)

55. Technically all you need is
an aluminum folding lawn chair, an umbrella or a cane and a place to set up in front of your front door. Put down a piece of astroturf and you're set! :P

58. My dear kentauros!
I could do all that...

But all we have in the front of the house are two driveways, and a raised planter with a large jacaranda tree between them!

I believe the driveway would look pretty odd with astroturf on it! And both driveways would look even stranger!

:P

16. Rabrrrrrr would be a good candidate, too.
Except that he probably has land mines and Burmese tiger traps and a moat and cauldrons of boiling oil, so he doesn't have to sit on the porch with a shotgun.

39. Me, and I don't have a lawn anymore.
Edited on Sat Feb-07-09 10:21 PM by old mark
We tore it up and put the whole thing in mulch.

But who wants to yell," Get off my mulch!"
(I do, however have a porch, a rocker and a shotgun.)

50. Yes I'm serious.
We're at the edge of a rural village. Every few years we have to educate the newly turned tweens/teens that our yard is not their recreation area and bathroom. The last mini-bike rider was pretty young. I never did find out who he was or where he came from. My granddaughter didn't recognize him either. He heard me though after he almost crashed into our car and then came back and almost hit our pine tree.

The pee situation just hasn't been my arborvitae trees either, a neighbor's garage has an awful discolored spot on the light color brick from kids using it as their urinal.

41. This thread reminds me of GormyCuss!
Is he (I think he's a "he") still around? I always liked that name. It sounds like someone who would chase kids off their lawn.

To quote Eilerson (the archeologist on Crusade)

Eilerson: I hate it when I go to movies with kids in the audience, because there is always someone there that tells me I can't kill them when they get loud! Now, who makes up these rules anyway...

My wife and i are insane about landscaping, flowers, bushes, and so on and so on. Geez, i've trained my dog to pee on the street so it doesn't burn the grass!

I don't think anybody here would be as likely to yell at the kids as i would be.
