What Makes Me Laugh

If you’re looking for a life-size gorilla lawn ornament, you can buy one in the parking lot of the Holiday Village Mall in Great Falls, Montana. Doug and I had a good laugh imagining putting it in our front yard, but I have to say that the large chicken would probably have shocked the neighborhood more than the gorilla.

It’s hard to say what the market demand is for lawn ornaments, but I do see plenty of shadow people (those black cutouts of a man smoking a pipe) sitting around town these days. I do wonder what comes over people who buy them. There must be more money to waste in this economy than I previously thought. When we enquired about a small bunny rabbit, we balked at the $35 price tag. I’m sure the chicken would also be worth its weight in recycled aluminum.

After some deliberation, we passed up a frog. It just wouldn’t go with our shadow person.
