She Walks The Talk

After almost 2 years, redgirl of Snippets From A People Watcher (and gifted commenter) makes a submission:

So I finally got my camera phone...and my spy orders with it.

First, I want to tell you all something. The lot of you (for the most part) are a bunch of wussies. Think about it. You're in a car. So what if they come out slinging a shotgun? Off you drive! When scouting for finds on foot, the fast get-away option just isn't there.
(whoa, she called y'all wussies, I'm stepping out of the way....)


I walked up to my target, attempting to take photographs for reconnaissance. As I approached the fence, neighbor man from next door, a large imposing black man came out. I would wait. And I did wait. He took his time ambling over to his side gate, setting out the dumpster and recycling, closing the gate (who even does that???), going and standing by his car for a couple minutes for no real reason whatsoever, waving at someone who wasn't there, and finally getting in. Then sitting there for a while. Finally leaving. (neighborhood watch)

*Whew*

See, all this time, I have been "texting." I've got my story set if asked--I don't want to end up like the lady who walked into the fountain in the mall, so I'll stand in front of a "random" person's house to do it.

First, you can see who is probably inside the house and just waiting until I try to snap that shot to burst out with wood chips flying to take my head off with a baseball bat. (Yes, this happened in my area. Someone accidentally pulled the plug on her neighbor's trailer instead of own and the neighbor came out and hit her in the head with a baseball bat. Unfortunately, I can't find the link)

moral of the story:  stay away from crazy people

Score (list and comments provided by redgirl, my comments are in red)

1) Oh! A butterfly! Where there's butterflies, there're usually other things...like
2) Flower totem poles. Hmmm.(come on that has to be the world's smallest totem pole)
3) and terra cotta *things* (I looked as close as I could, and it's not a flower pot or anything. Just a weird sculpture that belongs in The Mummy 3): 3 points


There has GOT to me more than this!

Ahh, THERE they are!


4) Frog on a stick (people who buy butterflies, usually have a thing for frogs too, I've noticed) You are correct, one day I have to write about categories of yard artists: 1 point
5) Something green and forgotten - some kind of plate: 1 point
6) A portly feline figure -  or bunny: 1 point


And then you turn the corner, and you see them.


7) Two little frightened puppies spending trapped moments in eternity as the creeping green carpet monster creeps up to smother them. I would save you, cute puppies, if I were not kept out by the white picket fence that so deceptively conceals the horror within - ooooh, it looks like a big green blob claw, huddle down puppies: 2 points

Subtotal: 8 points


Creativity Bonus

While not much of a collection, I am concerned by the lady in the window and I don't want to accidentally unplug something: 2 points

Total: 10 points
