I feel sorry for whomever tries to steal my Obama Yard Sign
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 08:23 PM by maseman
I started with a nice liquified paste of poison ivy leaves that I spread all over the sign. I then bought pepper spray and used about one-third of a bottle (I almost killed my neighbor with the light breeze) on both sides. Finally I surrounded the sign with a ring of poo from my little fluffy man's best friend.

The sing may turn up missing...but I'll have the last laugh. Stinky shoes, burning eyes and lots of pink calomine lotion. Tee-hee.

5. You weren't taking any chances, were you?
Sharing a funny sign story here if I could: the republican woman running in my district against the Dem incumbent--several of my neighbors had her signs in their yards and I was all "WTF" because the Dem incumbent is wildly popular and a great guy who has done a LOT for our district. Even repubs vote for him.

Plus she's shithouse insane. Seriously.

But just today, I noticed a lot of those signs are missing. Not stolen, I've glimpsed a few in their garages or on the sides of their houses.

And they didn't just mow. Wonder what happened? I guess they might have found out just how insane she is. Only one of her signs is left around here!

Good luck with your sign!

7. Just sit outside with a Remington 870 shotgun
all you'd have to do is pump it one time, watch them turn white as a ghost, then laugh your butt off! Nothing like that sound to put fear and respect into a conservative!

edited to add the story behind the webcam:

"Here's the story. We got an Obama sign a few months ago and it was stolen off our lawn within five days. Just yesterday we got another one (after searching for some time) and put it up on the lawn again. This morning it was gone, so we decided we'd make our own homemade sign and set up a camera to catch the thief in the act."

16. Of Course
All dog owners I know refer to mans best friends leavings as Landmines, so the poster has that covered. The only difference is the size of the dog. Our retriever would do that doo-ty proud, our Yorkie on the other hand would have to work harder. :thumbsup: :applause:

14. I did something similar 2 years go.
Repukes were stealing literally hundreds of our campaign signs. I started spraying them down with 1,000,000 Scoville unit hot pepper concentrate.

The signs stopped disappearing, except we were driving through a rural area, and saw a guy knocking a sign down with a hoe! He obviously touched one.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

18. Sounds pretty effective to me.
But what if no one steals it? Are you planning to keep it in your yard forever? Or will you call in a haz-mat team?

;)

20. Vaseline works well too.
Just rub it all over the sign.

23. A rub of pureed habaneros will work well, too.
If they grab a sign, touching even dried habanero essence, and later touch a mucous membrane anywhere on the body non-destructive agony will soon result. Touch the eyes or nose, much less more concealed and sensitive parts, and the perp will soon be bashing himself in the head with a brick to distract from the pain. Mix it with skunk scent and laff your ass off as the hammerheads get exactly what they deserve. :rofl:
