That's so kewl.. I Think? ..i can see it now:
Tim Burton's, When Tumbleweeds' Attack!
Starring Robert Hayes, Michelle Pifer, Brad Dulfir, Lassie (the Dog)
Smokie (the Bear), Clyde (the Ape) and tens of thousands tumbleweeds.
I'll expect MY royalty check any minute now...
don't you just love these very short scripted sci-fi movies,
soon coming to NBC (nothing but cr@p) sy-fy network.

When I was growing up in El Paso, every Christmas season my mother had me find and bring home the biggest tumbleweed I came across.
We would spray it with that fake snow and decorate it. Lights and everything. Looking back it did look tacky in our front yard, but we had fun doing that every year.
Find the beauty in everything is the moral of this story.

Could be worse....
They could be attacked by Blancmanges, or
They could all be turned into Scotsmen.

I love that Outer Limits episode. It scared me something fierce when I was a little girl.

Lol! I’ve always referred to trash in the city as “urban tumbleweed”.

Surprisingly, the naturally-packed piles dont burn that well. Oh, theyll burn, but not that hotly.I agree with you but still
. If my house was buried in the stuff like some of those pictures and some guy was walking around flicking lit cigarette butts into the pile, I think that Id be a bit concerned.

Oh yea, I’d be all over him for that.
I’d also be getting them out away from my house.
Just sayin’ that while they’re highly flammable, it takes some crushing of the pile to make it really burn. If I could have gotten them to burn in big, loose piles, I sure would have taken advantage of that situation. ;-)

The house we owned previous to this one was overrun with field mice. One time my dryer stopped working and hubby pulled it out from the wall to look at it......tons of dog food started falling out. Apparently the little boogers were stealing the dogs food and storing it in the dryer. lol

That was my first thought as well (”The Outer Limits”).

They’ll do the same thing with cars that are parked too long, my husband has replaced more than one muffler filled with dog or cat food. Especially if you are feeding outside or in the garage.
I once found a nest of baby mice in a dresser drawer. They stole all the insulation out of my stove, which made the oven cook slow because all the heat was radiating out. I caulked a gap around the water pipe and they chewed a new hole through the wall right next to the caulk overnight.
Mice are on my sh*t list for eternity.

She lives with you and I don’t, so she probably has a fair idea of who you are, but that post was very clever. The way you wrote the dialogue captions was perfect. You are a real Freeper.
Show her this and tell her that a pretty blonde horsewoman thinks you’re funny. ;-)

Dr. Rick Dagless: "To kill the Queen and then destroy our way of life. That's what every Scotch man wants."
Liz Asher: "You can't say that."
Dr. Rick Dagless: "Believe me Liz, I know. I've met a lot of Scotch people. They want what we've got: order, sobriety, hope. Everything Romford stands for. They're jealous of our continental ways."
