My mom loves tacky lawn ornaments. She knows that they're tacky. Pink flamingos, and alligator, the drunk guy leaning on the light post, they make her SO HAPPY.

Any idea on super tacky lawn ornaments for Mother's Day?

Also, I want to send my SIL something, it's totally appropriate to send Mother's Day gifts to a family member who isn't your mom, right?

Why would they want you to open it before you go? Aren't they supposed to be the experts?

The mooning farmer & farmer's wife! A gyrating monkey windmill! (I swear, wind blows and it does this obscene looking hulaish dance. Hrmm, where did I see that?)

Absolutely. It's for anyone who's a mother, not just your mom.

Mine is under a small panel near the fusebox, to the left of the steering wheel.

I'll take a look in that area, thanks.

I'm sort of boggled they want you to do that, since...it requires less intelligence to do (once you know where it is, which people dealing with all sorts of cars all day probably should) than opening the car door.

Not a clue. I don't know if they're worried their "experts" won't be able to find it or what.

Don't forget about gnomes Allyson.

Does your mother have one those shiny bowling ball thingies yet? They're all over the place around here and I can't help but shake my head at them.

ETA: ION, I have to wonder if they're pumping stupid gas into the air system at the local hospital this morning. So far my calls have consisted of a person not knowing what to put in the "current password" field when changing their password, someone who couldn't find a window they had just launched and someone who couldn't see anything on their screen because their monitor was turned off.

I've seen variations of this one that go around telephone poles.

Do racist caricature lawn onraments qualify as "tacky"?

On The Unit last night, did I miss a Scott Foley nude scene that folks on another board were talking about happening?

If so, I need to have an angry talk with whoever decided to interrupt local programming with tornado bulletins last night. These people need to learn their priorities!
