Inflatable outdoor decoration

Thank goodness nobody has them in my neighborhood but most of the ones I see are deflated and look like road kill. Is this just a fad are we subjected to these unsightly objects on every holiday.

We at Satan's workshop are still working on getting these out for every damn holiday that exists, and some that don't. But time is on our side. Eventually, they will be out every day of the year!

"Yard Garbage" Similar to any of the other crap people put on their lawn. Cutout cowboy silhouettes, flamingoes, chainsaw art, etc. Tacky. RT

Thumbs up *** Target Practice ***

Perfect for sharping up your aiming skill w/the new Daisy BB gun you got for Christmas...

AND - If you hit the right one in the right area...then all the little styrofoam beads will "bleed out" of the da** thing like a bean-bag chair from the 60's/70's (Actually, aren't those da** things dead yet???).


Hey, have a safe and "BB-free" X-mas!

If I were a teenager, again, I would probably be out driving around with a BB gun popping those things.

Problem is if you have a Japanese airsoft they look real. So to anyone looking it would look like you were shooting at the house with say a real G36!
