Nothing like a few stitches and a good scar to help remind someone of their stupidity in the future!

Oh and for those of you going to post about the liability, I’ll work that out when the handsomehunk who tried to take it in the first place tries to explain the situation and how their fingers came to be close enough to get shredded.


I'd rethink this.  Had this crotchety old guy in my neighborhood where I grew up that lived on a corner.   Seems his grass was geting lawjobed alot, almost every week.  (fyi lawnjob is where you drive your car into someones yard, tearing it up).  So one weekend he decided to implant some large bushes, and concealed INSIDE the bushes were steel posts he had buried a good 3 feet down w/ concrete.  That weekend, a teenager came roaring into his yard with his car, went into the bushes, hit the post, and was killed.

The gentleman who planted the posts was convicted of manslaughter and was promply sent to jail.

I would think you would be better served with someting a bit less damaging as a razorblade.  Consider possibly boobytraping the sign so it squirts soy sauce, or possibly something quite stinky.  Much less damaging, and would still get your point across.

Sign construction completed and currently in place.  I used fewer blades than originally designed.  I figured out I myself was going to have trouble getting in and out of the ground.

When I left this morning, so far, still there, we shall see.

Good point on the Halloween thing, I will take it down before the neighborhood kids’ start running the streets.

Bare-wire wrapped, electrical  cord (ornamental green casing to blend in with the grass) with stripped wiring to the bare wire on the sign...hmmm, I'm starting to get some good ideas! :p

You know what I do to Bush signs I steal?

I disrespect them. I pee on them, abuse them, wipe sausages on them, cover them in grape jelly and slap them around, stick burning cigarettes into their soft laminated paper, cut their nice wooden legs all up with a knife, listen to the groans of agony as I bend their wooden posts, then I rip them in half and let my dog have it's way with them. When I'm done, I throw them in the stove and burn them.

How does that make you feel?

Whats really funny is Saddam said the same thing in 1991 before the US kicked him out of Kuwait.  Except replace Sun with Oil fields.  I'm sure you've forgotten what a madman he is/was though.
