Me too - I loved the Roadrunner cartoons the most (hence the avatar) but I hated that bloody bird! I want to see the final one were the Coyote finally catches it.

I can see the final scene now, - The part eaten Road-runner turning on a spit, whilst the Coyote leans back picking his teeth with a toothpick - “Beep Beep my arse”.

Funny, the roadrunner never bothered me much but I've always hated that damn Tweety bird.

Ok, so I gave Flamethrower dude a shot of flat clear yesterday before I placed him in the garden permanently. Went to put him back in his spot and, no joke, there was a giant dog poop there. lol

Not having the abilities to give it a DNA test, I cannot positively say that this was the work of the boy's dog. Was going to take a picture of it for you but even I thought that might be a bit much for here. Therefore, I can only assume that it was you!

DAMN YOU, STIK! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU AND YOUR UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE! :sad:

They sent the Combat Garden Gnome detachment to a sector they thought would be quiet for them to rest and refit.

I previously stated that I had "one more trick up my sleeve" for these guys. Well, it's not much but here it is. A sign! It's actually got little bullet holes in it but they didn't show up in the picture. Tried putting an American flag in there behind them too but the stick broke. *shrug* Cleared away the dog poop that Carlos planted near the flamethrower guy and moved him back in his proper spot. So there it is. Outdoor diorama complete!
