So, ummm... My neighbor.
25Drove past a neighbor’s house the other day.
Not sure if they are getting ready for Halloween. No one outside to ask. I’ll have to try driving down that road again soon.
Alien: Covenant anyone? There was also giant green horns on the roof (you can see one top right of the first photo) and an unfinished spider.

It is only May, right?
You’re jelly, aren’t you @RiotDemon?
@Barney totally jelly. Wish I had room to store giant decorations.
It doesn’t help that I live on a dead end street. No trick or treaters.
@Barney @RiotDemon I mean. From the post it seems like the correct place to store them is “in your yard” so I wouldn’t hold yourself back
@RiotDemon If you had those in your yard you would have trick or treaters!
Glad you don’t have a HOA that would fine them for doing this.
@f00l Or the city! I’m not usually a that-dang-ol-gummit kinda fella, but this story amazed me:
https://www.tampabay.com/pinellas/dunedin-fined-a-man-30000-for-tall-grass-now-the-city-has-foreclosed-on-his-home-20190508
Dude had some stuff come up in his life, and didn’t mow his lawn for a while. The city started fining him, apparently without clearly letting him know how much the infractions were costing him. Long story short, he owed them $30k and he might lose his home…
dang ol gummit boy i tell u whut
@f00l @UncleVinny damnit Florida.
@f00l no HOA. No siree. I’d never live in one of those.
@f00l @UncleVinny Do you want Killdozer? This is how you get Killdozer.

@f00l @PooltoyWolf
Hella monstrous facepalm territory here:
“God built me for this job,” Heemeyer said in the first recording. He also said it was God’s plan that he not be married or have a family so that he could be in a position to carry out such an attack. “I think God will bless me to get the machine done, to drive it, to do the stuff that I have to do,” he said. “God blessed me in advance for the task that I am about to undertake. It is my duty. God has asked me to do this. It’s a cross that I am going to carry and I’m carrying it in God’s name.”
@f00l @UncleVinny While I don’t buy into his personal mantra, I can see why he was driven to do what he did.
I would bake that neighbor some cookies and ring the doorbell.
Someday this house is going to be on American Pickers.
@therealjrn
Not American Pickers. The weirder and more intensively strange spin-off, Florida Pickers.
/giphy “Florida weird”
@therealjrn More like Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations on your local PBS station.

@f00l @therealjrn WAYYYY too many stories to tell there…
@f00l @therealjrn I love the Florida Pickers idea. Remember, everybody comes here to die, and what they leave behind is beyond my power to describe. You should see the yard and estate sales.
Lol what a dipshit. Xenomorphs have six fingers but the interior four are all connected, everyone knows that. Plus those back legs look like a cricket’s.
Can you ask if I can have one?
Please?
@Moose let’s compare?
I can’t see the fingers that well in this shot, but it’s legs look slightly similar?
@Moose
Check out FW!
(From the rooftop if the famous Manhattan “Texas honky-tonk”, The Lone Star Cafe To the FW Zoo.)
The artist is Bob Wade, aka Daddy-O, of Austin, Tx.
The entire story is here:
Attack of the 40-Foot Iguana!

@Moose I bet a Xenomorph would totally eat a moose
Classic sign of a Goat Void incursion. You’d better set their house on fire before it gets worse.
Why do I secretly want this person to be my neighbor/friend?
@bramby2 come to Florida. There’s plenty of weird to go around.
They want their 15 seconds of fame?
You really need to stop and ask them what it’s all about. Inquiring minds want to know!
@cinoclav I might drive by later today to see if anyone is outside. I don’t want to knock on the door.
@RiotDemon Just lay on the ground in front of it with some fake blood. That should get their attention.
that’s fucking awesome.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
Maybe they had a couple of extra sets of shark jaws lying around and thought, “Hmm, what can I do with these?”
Surely this is Florida. . . surely.
@jrwofuga it is Florida. I don’t hide the fact that I live in the land of the strange. I too am strange and unusual.
Oy! I WISH we had neighbors that cool! We’ll trade you the guy with the weird tanned furniture who really likes chainsaws for this guy!
Drove back by today. There was a car outside, but no person outside. The giant horns were on the ground. I couldn’t tell if it was deliberate or an accident.
I guess I’ll keep updating as I keep creeping on the house.
@RiotDemon enquiring minds want to know!
@RiotDemon Will you have WiFi access in jail?
@tinamarie1974 luckily it doesn’t take much longer to drive that way. Maybe an extra two minutes on my way home.
@Barney I didn’t linger long. I’m worried people might think I’m creepy… But to be fair, they have giant alien statues outside.
Was really hoping the homeowner would be out.
@RiotDemon But…you are creepy.
@Barney @RiotDemon believe me you are not the only creeper trying to figure it out! And I do feel like the entertainment value is worth the extra two minutes!
@tinamarie1974 I think @RiotDemon should put on her Halloween outfit and strike a pose in the yard. Could be fun times.
@Barney @RiotDemon i have a beautiful custom made Malificent costume that would be perfect. She would either freak the hell out of them or they would invite her to join their coven.
/giphy Malificent
@tinamarie1974 you come dressed as maleficent and I’ll dress as the grim reaper. We’ll make a good duo.
@Barney you can bring Lady in her skeleton costume.
@Barney who said I’m creepy?
@Barney @RiotDemon that would be amazingly fun just to see their reaction
@tinamarie1974 You’ve never seen @RiotDemon as the Grim Reaper? Scary and, yes, creepy.
How about a pix of you dressed as maleficent @tinamarie1974?
Edit: Lady’s next costume will be Princess Leia or the Easter Bunny. It’s her choice.
@Barney @RiotDemon I have not seen it! And I would be afraid to share my pic, who knows what it would do to @mfladd
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
@tinamarie1974 How much worse can it get?
@tinamarie1974 Coward.
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
@Barney uummmm YES!
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Special scary contact lenses…
@RiotDemon You either have an admirer or a stalker with @therealjrn.
@Barney @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
I would respect it for it’s artistic and creative nature
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon because THAT will work! It takes A LOT more than that!
@Barney @RiotDemon @therealjrn are those all @RiotDemon?
@Barney @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 those are all me. They are from posts I’ve made her over the years.
@tinamarie1974 this was last year. The best picture taken of me.
@RiotDemon all awesome.
POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
@Barney @compunaut @mfladd @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
Google is the stalker lol.
@Barney @compunaut @mfladd @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 the funny thing is, I knew where the photos are, but I wouldn’t even be that quick. Did you just use image search?
@Barney @compunaut @mfladd @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 Yup, just image search like this:
There’s a lot of good pictures ha ha
@RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 Why am I not following you on instagram?
@mossygreen I rarely post. I think people forget they subscribe to me because every time I post something, I lose followers, haha
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon I think we should see some pics of @mfladd!!
/giphy Bring it
@tinamarie1974 I think there have been a couple…
@Barney @therealjrn what ya got?
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I don’t know where they are, but he’s not bad looking – for an eighty year old man.
@Barney @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I think I found one.
@Barney @RiotDemon @therealjrn @tinamarie1974
@mfladd
/image wossamotta u
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon @therealjrn
@Barney @mfladd @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974
We’ve had two threads to post pictures of yourself and I don’t think I actually know what any of you look like.
@Barney @cinoclav @mfladd @RiotDemon well I have never posted a pic of myself, only my sweet doggie. I am stealthy that way
@cinoclav @mfladd @RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 I haven’t figgered out how to work the camera on my new phone.
@tinamarie1974 I dunno - there are several tinamarie1974’s on the web. Shall I start posting photos of each one until we hit on it?
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974
/giphy Let’s not and say we did.
@Barney @cinoclav @mfladd @RiotDemon I am going through that with my parents now. The JUST got smart phones and we are working on touch screens, swiping, how to find apps, etc. You should sit in on one of my classes
@cinoclav you can, but this is the ONLY site where I use this user name
I think Tina Marie is a popular name. Oh and I DO NOT have FB so don’t bother trying to look there for anything. 
@Barney @compunaut @mfladd @RiotDemon @therealjrn @tinamarie1974
They’re on his hard drive. No pun intended.
@tinamarie1974
Yeah, I’m pretty pathetic.
@Barney well that is not what I meant. We all learn at different speeds. I still can’t flip a pic when it loads upside down on this site. Lol
@tinamarie1974 I know what you meant. I guess it’s just that I hate my smartphone and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon.
@Barney
ARE NOT!!!
@therealjrn
AM TOO!
You have no idea.
@Barney
ARE NOT! ARE NOT! ARE NOT! INFINITY!
@Barney @cinoclav @mfladd @tinamarie1974
Even if you saw our faces, we’d probably look different in person. I’ve met several people from the web and everyone looks different for one reason or another.
I haven’t uploaded any photos without stuff all over my face, so hopefully I’m just anonymous enough.
@Barney @cinoclav @mfladd @RiotDemon yeah I am always careful. I had a stalker (he was known by me) and it was so bad he was locked up for a few years. I just try to be VERY careful now and don’t put much of anything traceable or identifying out there.
@tinamarie1974 Funny, I didn’t realize @mfladd was in jail for a while.
@cinoclav @mfladd jail, insane asylum…it is a fine line
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974
@cinoclav @mfladd love those two!
@tinamarie1974 here are @Barney’s feet
@therealjrn now who’s being stalked, @Barney?
@Barney @RiotDemon Stalking like a baby shark
@RiotDemon @therealjrn I’m too sexy for my socks.
@therealjrn @barney @riotdeamon @mfladd. Those are some sexy socks!
@tinamarie1974
They’re just Meh socks. It’s the feet that make them sexy.
I would def knock on the door…I mean, I would expect it if I had giant aliens in my yard. LOL
