Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard. Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking him down but my neighbor did confirm to near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time.

why don't you saw off the front end of a chrysler 300, mount it on the side of your house, and scatter bricks around it, to have an encore?

Bonus points if you make the dude kick, and make it look like the car hit the ladder.

Sorry for any confusion, that was not me, or my house. That's why I put it in the quote box.

I got this from a buddy, and we agreed that the decoration would be a LOT better if:

1) replace the adult body hanging from the gutter with one of those kid dolls that you see at hot rod shows. 2) then put the adult pointing the other direction on top of the roof, trying to reach the kid.

THAT would be just over the top.
