Perhaps it just rode away into the sunset.

I wonder if one of them is paler today.

I am guessing the "after" would win. Cover the whole area with astroturf and call it a day.

Do orange trees grow in Oklahoma?

This is something we should never take for granite.

endorsement. I shale never forget it.

some days

Sorry I can't top yours

A fitting counterpoint to my attempt!

SQUEEZE A FRUIT FOR ANITA



She used to make commercials promoting Florida orange juice.

at least the fountain on the neighbor's lawn provides motion and sound.

She probably got it hauled away herself and is trying to recoup funds from the county by calling it a "theft". I'd put nothing past her.

Sounds like stealing it was a neighborhood improvement project.

Ugly-ass house and yard, too. I guess Ms. Bryant's fortunes have faded somewhat...

Sheech, imagine looking out the front window and seeing that across the street.
Probably be setting right next to....

Never mind even I wouldn't stoop that low.
Unless of course St. Francis was staring at me from across the street, then he would have to go where ever Anita Bryant’s horse ugly thingey is.

for a variety of reasons, including her excess, gaudy taste, and history of bigotry. Most poster here have little to no sympathy for an outspoken rich bigot who loses a hideous piece of rock.

This is a fun story to mock.

Whatever floats your boat.

All those rainbows.

Shoulda spent the money on grass seed, fertilizer and sprinklers instead.

That abortion just looks out of place, like the guys who delivered it just dropped it off there and that's where it remained.

Pick on everything about her you want but as for the dead lawn we all are struggling. The whole state is dried up and about to blow away again.

and I've been trucking hay in since April to feed our critters. My well barely pumps enough water for a decent shower and our "seasonal" creek has been dry since February 2013. The oak trees that surround our home are beginning to show stress. Believe me, I know a drought when I see one.

So yeah, my comment about Ms Bryant's lawn may have been over the top but there's still no excuse for putting a piece of crap like that anywhere near your home.

It I were her neighbor I'd be pissed at having to drive by it every day an would be delighted it is gone.

I saw her on TV; I watched her orange juice commercials. I thought she was pretty and pleasant and wholesome.

It wasn't until several years later, when I was reading MAD Magazine (of all things) that I learned of her virulent homophobia. (I'm straight. It would have taken me longer anyway.)

Anyway, I've felt nothing but revulsion for her since that time.

I second the wish expressed above that the statue appears in a pride parade somewhere, sometime soon...

I wasn't sure what it was about but if Johnny was making fun of her I knew there was something wrong with her. Looking back he was probably supporting his gay friends.

that I heard about this mentioned that it was Anita Bryant's home. I wonder if that's true....

I would have. But I wouldn't have stolen that tacky piece of shit.

Cripes.

And a gay President.

I hope all the advances in gay rights makes her miserable.

suffer enough.

She'll get shit from them.

I think I would have paid $30,000 to have someone remove it.

He ran away with the neighbor's statue of David.

Can you say "insurance fraud"? I knew you could!

Anita, who are you talking to at 3 in the morning? It's Jake, from State Farm.

Here, Anita, have some pie:

I would understand if someone stole a ton of A-1(I can't get enough of it), but not that statue in the OP,

want it??"

I was very confused for a moment.

...they should put the monstrosity back.

Case solved in one minute:

How was it stolen? Bobcat and a dump truck. A lot of people have Bobcats; one of the people who lives on her street watches until the two of them leave then cranks up his own personal Bobcat, scoops up the ugly-ass statue, throws the shit in the dump truck, rakes the Bobcat tracks out of the front yard, and heads down the road. Five minutes, tops.

Suspects? See if anyone on their street owns a Bobcat.

Where is the statue now? Check the river. That's what I would have done with it, anyway.

Ten pounds of detagel at various points on the statue, and you guarantee it'll never be found again. Then throw the chunks in a crusher and put them down on a road somewhere.

I still would have thrown it in the river.
