Some go the route of our purple flasher, where as others go into a post holiday depression and take any gig they can get.

I loved the sand with spray-paint marks as a backdrop for Cupid and some kinda weird well thing :-)
Once you take away a little man's arrow, he really has nothing to live for
"sigh, I miss playing with my arrow, I wasn't gonna hurt anyone with it"
Score
- Crestfallen cupid on a pedistal: 2 points
- Tiny Wishing Well with a tiny bucket of flowers: 1 point
- Gargoyle (that I was too slack to notice): 1 point
Creativity Bonus
For a cupid in major depression, in a sad yard with no landscaping to cheer his spirit or his arrow to well you know...2 points
Total: 6 points
of course, others take a different approach and go directly to upper management:
Give it back and I ain't foolin'
Party that I am throwing for sad cupid. Feel free to download and add onto. I'll keep posting it.
redgirl: John and his date Tina show up, hearing it was their kind of party:
b-a-g brings the blobfish over as a guest
he's kind of a downer and the manatee is not amused
Those people must be dedicated if they're putting yard art on SAND
ReplyDeleteredgirl, this is very sad little yard. I think if you put you trailer on sand, you are just asking for it to be washed away. Good think Cupid has wings.
ReplyDeleteBut does he have the will to fly away?
ReplyDelete"What's the use? I have no arrows...no bow...no victim...I may as well die in the sand"
We should throw him a party! What do you say in adding a few friends and attaching to the post?
ReplyDeleteI applaud your thought process!
ReplyDeleteMaybe throw in a weeping angel or two >:D
ReplyDeleteOK, great. Going to lunch and then expect a cupid party.
ReplyDeleteWith champagne and a big pity party cake! (hopefully one that doesn't end up on cakewrecks)
ReplyDeleteSorry to interrupt, girls ... but I was zooming in to have a closer look at the allegedly sad cupid when I saw a gargoyle carved into one of the steps.
ReplyDeleteBy the Great Cupid's Immovable Wings, you're right! Give that yard another point!
ReplyDeleteLifeshighway is way too stingy with her points - she'll probably award it a silver blogfish instead.
ReplyDeleteSorry that was supposed to be blobfish ...
ReplyDeleteEh, you're right.
ReplyDeleteI think we need the "lame-o" award that can be given when you can't get/don't deserve points, but we want to throw something your way.
Hey, I go to lunch. Slave away at a party for cupid and this is the thank I get.
ReplyDeleteb-a-g blobfish is still funny.
redgirl, wow that is cruel but I like it
point will be given and party is getting ready to be posted
hey, I thing b-a-g is a guy. Mystery almost solved. Looks like it is just us today. So small party, bring extra booze.
ReplyDeleteIf he/she won't fess up, I think we should just vote on it and go by the results.
ReplyDeleteParty: You have out-done yourself LH! Not only have "the neighbors" come over (and man, but they look like they're having FUN!) but have hung festive, themed garlands and imported the rare chair-tree. I *am* somewhat disturbed that no one but the neighborhood perverts have shown up. Ah well, maybe cupid will realize what he was missing *smirk*
redgirl, at first I thought b-a-g was a guy. Then b-a-g told a story about the fountain falling over and saving b-a-g's life (probably not exactly correct) but after I read that... I thought Ah Ha, that kind of like a girl. But then b-a-g calls us "girls" and that is a guy thing. So I am voting guy.
ReplyDeleteParty: thanks I could have worked on it all day. But really it would be fun to have people down load it and add something. I am lazy enough to let this go on another day.
'kay, so so far we have 2 votes for guy, and zero for girls. I think we have a quorum lol
ReplyDeletebtw: submitted an update on your pic lol
Cupid is so funny. I wish I Photoshopped that. Looks like the guy ignored who cupid shot the arrow into,and took a prize that was not his.
ReplyDeleteHaha...you're right! He's like: "That was mine, MINE. You poached my couple... :( "
ReplyDeletegwgt, what that was photoshopped... I'm shocked shocked at the implication.
ReplyDeleteredgirl: you addition to the party has been added. It really could not have been a party with out Tina and John. Everyone knows they are a fun couple.
gwgt? I will show my ignorance and ask what that means...
ReplyDeleteWell, OBS they both had to face the same way :P
redgirl, I am just relieved you did not um, attach them.
ReplyDeleteb-a-g: your party guest has arrived.
it was so hard not to just move those pics *accidentally* just a leeetle bit closer.
ReplyDeleteyou never answered my question :'(
redgirl, sometimes pictures are CREATED and did not happen in REAL life but as far as I know, that is just a rumor. Have another cocktail.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, this would go down better with a martini.
ReplyDeleteReminds me! New prize to be posed on blog: this time, found in WOMEN's restroom...
Yeah, everyone go check out redgirl's blog. Her bathroom lost and founds are fun to play.
ReplyDeletehttp://snippitsrevealed.blogspot.com/
Oh man, I am laughing out loud so hard my incisions hurt! (got my gallbladder out 2 days ago) hahahaha this is great! OUCHahahaha!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait til I feel better and can snap pics of more yards in this trailer park!
m3rma1d, um.... we kind of hijacked your yard.
ReplyDeleteYes please, we love trailer park pictures.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you how pleased I am that you added some ground cover.
ReplyDeleteManatee is pleased.
Blogfish is...well, no one is really sure WHAT blogfish is. That's why he's a blogfish.
Oh wow...I see why b-a-g was having such a hard time. My fingers' default is to type blog rather than blob.
ReplyDeleteBlobfish! Blobfish! assume I said it.
I am thinking that blogfish should be a regular guest. He can be b-a-g's contribution to the game. Like redgirl's coat of arms only blobbier.
ReplyDeletenope, he is now anointed blogfish. He keeps correcting us.
ReplyDeleteI think blogfish is a great name for an alternative blog site. Or maybe can be slang for any commenter who brings down a thread of comments single handedly by being obtuse, unintelligent, and just plain clueless.
ReplyDeleteGREAT, as in stop being such a blogfish. See this is why I need a better comment thread thingy. So we can embed pictures.
ReplyDeleteLOL I love that you hijacked the yard... and it's not mine it's a neighbor of my boyfriend's. We are both cracking up at the "party pics"!
ReplyDeleteya, stop being such a blogfish with your comment set up
ReplyDeleteI discovered bloBfish during one of my internet journeys, started googling sunflowers and eventually found .... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/howaboutthat/7077472/Blobfish-worlds-most-miserable-looking-marine-animal-facing-exinction.html
ReplyDeleteThe party is a BYOF*
ReplyDelete*fertilizer
m3rma1d, sure... You are more than welcome to add to the party. Hope you heal fast. Say hi to the boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteb-a-g, the blobfish is a far distance from a sunflower. It is hard to believe it is real. His name is blogfish and he is our new downer mascot.
redgirl, you are right... dang you were the first to use blogfish correctly... argh!!!
Gawd, you kept right on having that party without me! I've been hiding in shame all day because I - I mean - my computer doesn't know how to add anything. Not being the photo genius that my daughter is, I have no need of photoshop or other prettyfying program. Sigh. I only wanted to comment that I'll bet Cupid's mom took away the bow and arrow, because no one should let nekkid little boys play with arrows. Kind of like holding your toddler upside down over a rabid raccoon.
ReplyDeleteHey! SOMEone had to get close enough to find out if they were foaming around the mouth! And kids have such good eyesight!
ReplyDeleteIf *I* had kids...well, it's probably a good thing I don't.
redgirl, good point the little buggers do have great eyesight.
ReplyDeleteActually the idea of you having kids makes me smile, a lot.
Wwwwhhhhyyyy is that... o_O
ReplyDeleteMom L, sorry you were late for the party. Grab yourself a drink. I am having a nice oak-y white wine. I would love to see what you would do with the photo. Perhaps the next time Diane visits you can learn how.
ReplyDeleteredgirl, because yours are genes that should not be wasted.
ReplyDelete1. because I fully endorse the save the ginger campaign.
2. because there needs to be a little redgirl for future generations.
1. True...but need to find me a ginger guy first. Maybe I should be like The Bachelor only...The Ginger...who will she give her carrot to this week?
ReplyDelete2. Why would I want to share? I would probably let her get away with too much. Plus, I like little boys. How many times do I have to stress this?
1. um basic biology says that you would not have the carrot. More like who will give her the carrot.
ReplyDelete2. redboy jr, is not working for me.
1. Um, I meant like giving the ROSE but it would be a CARROT because I would be looking for a CARROTHEAD. Drag your mind out of the gutter. (and leave me here alone to wallow in my sludge)
ReplyDelete2. If I have a girl, I'll raise her as a boy and tell her she is a boy.
I am really late to the party... I am pleased as punch the Chairee tree made it to the party. Perhaps if Tina gets tired of bending over she could use a little red chairee to sit a while.
ReplyDeleteTufa Girl, that's OK. It was a pretty small and intimate party plus a few of the old gang. I thought the chairee tree might come in handy for the guests. I'm sure Tina will appreciate it, I bet her back gets tired.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Cupid photo!!! Great expression!
ReplyDeleteI am late to the party, too, how nice of you to cheer up the sad Cupid. (Hate to admit, but I have the same statue in my yard, lol!)
ReplyDeleteOne, yes the little cupid is very expressive.
ReplyDeleteKaren, well that is great because now you know how to throw him a party.
i want a gnome on a pig!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always good for a chuckle! I love the pic of cupid and upper management!
ReplyDeletePoor cupid. Why is he still sad even with his party?
ReplyDeleteHe clearly doesn't even know how to enjoy a good party - though anyone would sulk having to share space with the well thingy.
ReplyDeletePS Sorry, blogfish is already a blog about ocean conservation.
ReplyDeletediane, I will see if I can find you one.
ReplyDeletedegsgarden, I think that cupid meant business
Plantaliscious, he really doesn't because we threw a great party.
eventer79, of course you would know that.
