Is he Catholic?

No...he's nothing. But up here, you can tell the French families by their painted stones and shrines. I'm the reformed Catholic in this relationship

I think its a regional thing...their houses are usually painted to look like Easter eggs too

Me too! I've never seen a neighborhood like that, lol. Of course, it's mostly Italians 'round these parts...everyone has the Italian flag. eVERYONE...and dressed up geese...and bird baths and gazing balls. It's horribly tacky. I have...um...a holly bush...

I have kids toys all over my yard...My daughter has been known to "plant" her Barbies in the garden. I'm sure it must look disturbing to some people, but I think its frickin' funny

Gotta be better than the barbie head parts that littered our yard after I blew them up with fireworks.

Anything to be even more priggish and elitist then we already are...

I heard that they had scientists working on a way to make it so our shit doesn't stink

They've already tested it on Bush and Cheney. So far they and Condoleeza Rice are the only people who think it was successful.

On purpose?

Sounds like a great performance art project.

In your neighborhoods, are the Blessed Virgin statues displayed in shrines made of bathtubs cut in half? Maybe with Xmas lights around the edges? They were in the neighborhood where I grew up.

We just have "country crap" and assorted old 'trash' (as I'd call it) that the "antique" people call "primitive"...blah.
