All the inflated stuff. Bonus points for the overall green grass suburbia
thing.

I think you should move to someplace where it gets all Currier & Ives
for December. Palm trees?!? C'mon!

Maybe this week I'll get over to a home store and snag a pic of those
large yard inflatables in repose. Colorful deflated nylon figures--now
that's trashy!

I was thinking the "family" of inflatable penguins(sp).

Well I live in the tropics, so the palm tree is the tree of choice for
decorating.

The "giant pineapple", well it's better than the inflatable reindeer.

I saw one of those wire reindeer with lights. However it was hung up by
the hind legs like a deer that had been shot in a deer hunt. Tacky!

oh god. which part of georgia were you in?

Actually it could have very well been anywhere south of Maryland or so,
below that all the natives are pretty much the same as a Georgian. 😉

It was in a nice neighborhood in big town in Texas. I assume it was
probably somebody's idea of a joke.

Now that I've lived in both Texas and Arkansas, I believe that hunting
is more important to the people of Arkansas than the people of Texas. I
have to tell students that hunting is not a valid excuse for missing
class and that anyone wearing offensive smells to the classroom will be
asked to leave. I have had students falling asleep in class because
they were in their deer stand at 5:00am and only left because they had
to come to my class.

The roads along my daily commute are littered with deer carcasses.
There are five of them so far this year. Six if you count the doe that
was killed by a car this morning. The others are stripped of meat and
skin and dumped in the ditch. This is something I NEVER saw in either
Texas or Oklahoma.

As for the decorations, there are a fair number of light displays along
my daily ride. Maybe the people of r.b.m. consider it trashy, but I
think it's nice that they put forth the effort to have some fun. It is
a little audacious to have several hundred dollars worth of lights on a
mobile home. But it's only trashy when the lights are still up in
March.

Hunting is un-necessary period. People can live on a vegetable diet.

That sounds pretty wasteful.

They only ones I think are really trashy are the inflatables.

While that may be true in your view of the world, there are a great
number of people who derive satisfaction from hunting and use all of
the meat. I suffered as a vegetarian for two years before deciding that
eating meat was a healthier way to live.

I would ask you to consider the current deer population problems and
potential solutions before you start lambasting hunters or omnivores in
general.

I'd love to know in what way did you suffer? I find that I can survive
quite happily without meat, sometimes for years at a time.
