How I solved my stolen Bush/Cheney sign problem

Posted on 10/14/2004 8:27:02 AM PDT by Infantry Grunt 1968-69

For the last few days I've been treating a big fireant bed in my front lawn here in Houston. Treat it one day, it just moves to a new location by the next day. Also have lost two Bush/Cheney signs this week. When I got my new sign I decided to pound it as hard as possible into that big ant bed and the black gumbo soil below. When I went to get the paper at 4:30 this morning I noticed the sign was laying in the grass. Not stolen like before but flung a few feet from the ant bed. I can just imaging someone planting themselves firmly and pulling up as hard as possible - until all those little critters found their way up his pant legs.

Fire ants are the insect kingdoms version of terrorists.

They don't sting until they ALL are in position to do maximum damage.

Good job on protecting your sign!

My replacement sign now has a nice coating of "Skunk Shot Gel on it". It's also wired by trip wire to a 160dB personal alarm, and a "pull string" report with several paint balls also primed with more Skunk Shot.

Molon Labe!

You could pound some nails into some 1 inch wooden slats and "accidentally" drop them into the grass around your signs. The weight of the nailheads will likely cause the points to turn up when you "drop" them.

Legal booby trap! I like it.

Hornets, wasps, and bees might be pretty effective too.

Yet more evidence that all God's creatures are conservatives.

one of my friends coats her signs in honey or something else sticky so if they DO steal your sign - at least they will be punished!

I would like to know where the police are.
There must be gangs of thugs roving the neighborhoods at night, yet no one every sees or arrests any of these pukes.

We have resorted to code in my neighborhood. Dems have signs, Bushies fly US flags. There are quite a few US flags flying, and I have yet to see a Kerry sign and a US flag on the same property.

Good for you Infantry grunt!! Highly effective strategy!!

I had my sign stolen last Thursday night. Then Friday, I found taped to my garage, a full page, George Soros ad that said "why we shouldn't reelect President Bush"

I was so fuming mad I was shaking, and if the scum who had taped it to my garage during the middle of the night had been in front of me that moment he would have gotten all of both of my fists through his rotten green teeth.

That that scum would have the nerve to walk all the way up my driveway and do something as cowardice as tape that to my garage door in the middle of the night just infuriated me. My wife, bless her, who is normally the voice of reason said you should go around and take a bunch of their signs and tape stuff to their doors to. But I don't want to be scum like them. I replaced my sign, and I left my shades up for a few nights. And a few times I walked outside in the middle of the night to see if anyone was there. If they are on my property, they will be dealt with. But I'm not going to scoop to their level.

What amazes me is that they actually might think that by doing this I was going to vote for Scumbag Kerry???
What could possibly make them think such a thing?
