Nothing says "spirituality" like a giant inflatable Sponge Bob.

"what happened?"
Posted by: mudstuffin | December 21, 2006 at 04:16 PM
If the thief is reading this, wouldja please come to my neighborhood & get the one that is on the roof of the house down the street? I have suffered looking at that for two years now. It's just... well. unsightly. When it wasn't there for the first couple of weeks in December, I was happy & thought the folks moved. Alas, not.
If the thief doesn't steal this this particular one, could one of you manly men with firearms come down here take it out please. You don't have to pick off the inflatable Santa, sleigh, or reindeer, just the SB with the Santa hat. 'Course it's going to be difficult as they have them arranged in a grouping.
Thanks sincerely,
ec

Those theives are definatly not sponge worthy.
Posted by: Elaine | December 21, 2006 at 04:32 PM
Maybe Sponge Bob just left! He had things to do. Places to go. Maybe he hadn't done his shopping yet.
Everybody automatically assumes it was terrorists! Or kids. Or kid terrorists. I think it's profiling.
But I'm glad the little midget got a new one if that's what makes her happy.

You know, the first thing to one's mind is: how awful, someone stealing a girl's cherished inflatable sponge!
However, I think of the poor fools of crooks who were forced to drive through the streets of rural Mass with a large, yellow sponge waving at traffic out of the back of their pickup. Who DOES that?
First criminal: Let's steal something!
Second criminal: How about an inflatable Christmas sponge?
I REFUSE to admit these men were from Mass. Clearly they were visiting New Yorkers.

See, what a heartwarming story! That would have never happened if I hadn't stolen that inflatable dummy and....I mean, what heathen would do something like that??

Posted by: estrogen centrale | December 21, 2006 at 05:16 PM
Yeah, um, hey Walgreens? I had a 50" HD plasma TV out in my front yard up until last night, and I think someone stole it! Can you please replace it? Preferably by eight o'clock tonight, since that's when the Duke-Gonzaga game is on?
Learn Me Good!

est cen - Relax. I have come to love the lack of taste you can see in Christmas decorations. I take my camera and drive around and collect them. My favorite was Baby Jesus riding Rudolph.
Posted by: pogo | December 21, 2006 at 05:30 PM
I've got to start reading more carefully. At first glance I thought MT was referring to "the Duke-Gorgonzola game."

I saw an inflatable Homer Simpson with a bag that says "Donuts" does any blogger have a neighbor they would like that stolen from.
Also estrogen... We have some "people" who throw every GD thing Christmasee they can think of in their yard. No rhyme or reason, just any GD thing. Last year they won first prize in our "ward". this year they {scaled back)And God Forbid came in second. They are the friggin Griswolds. What to do? Next year could be a retina killer. Please Est... or the rest of the blog, heeeellllppppp!

PJ, I am sorry to disagree, but the Griswolds live next door to ME. Although I have an inflatable condom Santa, the rest of my decor is quite tasteful and subdued.

Walgreens just made the sponge(bob)-worthy list.
Posted by: Cat R. | December 21, 2006 at 06:59 PM
Hi Siouxie!!! Just been shopping, shipping and paying lots of holiday postage.
(Here's a tip. If you haven't shipped everything yet, just buy it a seat on the next flight out. It'll be cheaper.)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 21, 2006 at 07:03 PM
Hey, Lisa BFF!
Don't you think a mistletoe belt buckle would be a great gift?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 21, 2006 at 07:07 PM
Hi Annie-Yes I do. And you should sell that idea to Victoria's Secret.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 21, 2006 at 07:14 PM
And to Sears, to put on a Craftsman tool belt.

How goes the move? And how's the weather up there?
Posted by: Just Ducky | December 21, 2006 at 07:24 PM
doing lots of pre-move stuff so far. tyin' up lose ends. Not a flake of snow up here. (my wife's sister and family have been stranded at DIA for about 36 hours so far. gotta be fun.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | December 21, 2006 at 07:26 PM
Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry for them. The news reports and pictures out of there look horrible. Do they have any idea when they'll be able to leave?
Posted by: Just Ducky | December 21, 2006 at 07:37 PM
Airport's supposed to reopen Friday at noon. don't know how long it'll take 'em to clear the place out. something like 5000 people stranded there.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | December 21, 2006 at 07:39 PM
What a fun time for all those people. And I'm sure the airlines are thrilled, too.
However, once it clears, the resorts will be busy!

That's only about 20 airplanes -- now if they can just agree on no more than 20 destinations between the lot of them, it'll clear out in a jiffy.

I wonder if the Denver airport plays the same Christmas tunes over and over and over.

Annie, that's a very horrible, yet profound thought. Wonder what the death toll will be.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | December 21, 2006 at 07:46 PM
Wyo - why don't you ask your sister-in-law if they're playing any good songs, like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Lehr Jet...."

I think her cell battery's dead.

Yipes. Talk about Silent Night. I can't imagine being stuck like that, especially with kids.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 21, 2006 at 07:53 PM
Especially with a dead cell phone battery! Without a cell phone, there's no crapcam, and without a crapcam, you can't prove it happened!

In a related story, 25 "El Caganer" ornaments stolen from lawns in Bussels were found huddled next to Le Mannequin Pis.

Brussels. Bussels are entirely different (they refer to the second story on double-decker buses).

This article could be used in journalism school as an axample of poor writing. Can you say "redundant?"
Posted by: Katie in FL | December 22, 2006 at 09:26 AM
Lacy things, the wife is missin'
Didn't ask, her permission
I'm wearin' her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
In the store, there's a teddy
Little straps, like spaghetti
It holds me so tight
Like handcuffs at night
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
In the office there's a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say, "Whoa Man!"
"Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"
Later on, if you wanna
We can dress, like Madonna
Put on some eyeshade
And join the parade
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Lacy things- missin'
Didn't ask- permission
Wearin' her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

Hi ShyJan-I almost "met" you. I was up late reading last night, but I must have logged off just before you got here.
And Yes, yes! Come to Florida--at least for a visit.

Pee Jay: Your neighbors may have relatives out here...On the next street over, there is a house with a plastic lit-up Nativity scene about 3' tall, featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse instead of Wise Men. Santa is sort of hovering off to one side. Above it all, lurking on the porch steps, stands a huge plastic lit-up chartreuse Alien. With a Santa hat on. Every year we have friends over and I take them for a drive just to prove I'm not making this up.
