Sentry Duty

The word on the street is that field reporters are coming out of retirement. Sentries are on duty to spot yard art paparazzi to warn wanton gnomes and demented dolls of encroaching seasoned yard art hunters.

m3rma1d of Fuzzy Foliage managed to infiltrate the parameter of one compound

Saw this little cutie on a rock-lawn in the trailer park in NJ and thought you'd just love him! She also has a weird windsock thingy, a virgin Mary thingy (I know, no points there), a purple glass globe thingy, a silver globe thingy, 2 bird baths, and some weird baby thing (???)

What is needed is a telephoto lens...

yeah there he is - The Look Out

One-ith by foot, two-ith by bike, and three-ith by car

 the collaborator:
and naked nefarious experimenter

Score

  • Naked doll with watering can and a baby bottle (I don't want to know): 1 point
  • Purple gazing ball: 1 point
  • 2 bat-like eagles: 2 points
  • 2 birdbaths: 2 points
  • some kinda of symbiotic melding of ball and pedestal (again, best not to know all the facts): 2 points
  • Mary (fell in with a bad crowd): 0 points
  • Butterfly flag (or windsock thing): 1 point
  • Dangly wind chime: 1 point
  • Virgil who is vigilant: 4 points

Subtotal: 14 points


Creativity Bonus

For the gnome lookout and his up-to-something naked doll friend: 2 points

Total: 16 points

For persevering under the watchful eye of the collaborator:

may it hang boldly

  3. I agree. With the "la lah la la" and fuzzy close-ups of dark eyed dollies, I may need a couple cold adult beverages to try to forget.

  4. Hey, I kinda looked like seashell bra gal the other day after I had a few too many vodka gimlets!

    Did anyone notice her doll hoochie sticking out of her grass skirt--or was it just me being weird?

  6. Tufa Girl, I did not partake of adult beverages last night and I had a very bad nightmare about dolls. (no lie!) shudder

    Lin, I would like to come to one of your parties. I did not notice the hoochie so yes, you are a bit disturbed.

    keewee, I hope you slept well and had a few cold ones.

  7. I've been trying to comment for a couple days, but no luck. Perhaps today? If so, I just wanted to let you know that it's good to have you back. You were missed!

  9. It is 6:23 am. My day has barely started then this: Creepy poltergeist dolls. Whoever made that video is disturbed.

  10. Morning Glory, glad to see you and that you are keeping up on your YAW! exercises.

    Bom, at least you saw the creepy dolls in the daylight.

  11. This is inspirational, indeed.

  12. Great fun, and serious critiquing that someone needs to tend to. The bird bath looks anything but bird friendly. Maybe a cat live there.

  13. Hate dolls. Always have. Creepy little bitches.

    Glad you explained what that naked thing was doing. At first glance, I thought it involved an unnatural act involving a turtle.

  14. OK, OK, I give in, I ..... just ....can't watch ...anymore of those dolls.

    Oh I am freaked out, totally.

    Hate dolls like that, and hate seeing them on peoples blogs, LOL.

    The current trend towards shabby chic, and vintage dolls heads lined up on shelves, just makes me want to ....ugh.

    How do they know that they won't come and get them. Ha.
