The Kings of Lawn Crap
Have you ever seen a modest ranch house with two giant stone lions guarding the driveway? It takes a special homeowner to add that sort of grandiose touch to their humble abode. Well, I have found where these special homeowners shop. It's also a great place for the poor couple who win the lottery and want to blow their riches on what they perceive as classy. Or the young, rich professional athlete building his first mansion. On my way to work every morning, I pass “World of Décor,” whose front lot is cluttered with every imaginable giant sculpture and gaudy fountain. Need a 15-foot stainless steel horse? They have it. (Pictured. $25,000) How about a 12-foot stainless steel golfer? Check. 20-foot Poseidon fountains? Huge stock. And more. Shop online!

If I had the cash, I'd have a yard full of statuary, plus two lions and a couple of griffins for protection.
Plus a hot yard boy to mow around them.

My neighbor has a green fuselage of one of those homemade airplane kits sitting in his driveway.
This is the shame I must bear as I drive past each day, wondering, will he ever finish it, and will it even fly?
Gotta give him points though for avoiding the typical blue tarp over a Boston Whaler.

It's like when you see a 900 sq ft wood frame house... painted aqua and there are majestic cedars lining the sidewalk. Loooooove it.

That reminds me of the new yard art that just went up at Denver International.

It killed its creator 16 years ago.

Effing Denver. Missed a connection there once after running–literally– the entire length of that thing. Bastards.
