Once upon a time...

There was a hug Rhino named Bubba. Bubba was a mean rhino. One day a fairy came and told Bubba to be nice to all the little kids outside his cage. Bubba was nice for a few days, until a little kid mentioned that he wasn't a very pretty animal. Bubba got mad and rammed the fence. The Fairy came back and as punishment turned Bubba into a lighted yard decoration. The end



WHAT???????
Yes, One block from my house, there is a lovely yard decoration, that is a life size giant Rhino!!! First of all, Where did such a monstrosity come from? And why? Who would display something so... so... odd? Where can you even find something like this? This Rhino, (who we lovingly named Bubba) is on display proudly every night.

Hey Katie, I hope you don't mind I found your blog through Merilee's:). That is so funny--wow! That's all I can say!

What?? That's the weirdest thing. Was it a Christmas decoration? Or is it there all the time?

All I have to say is this . . . when I first saw that thing, I almost wet my pants. It appeared near our apartment the two Christmases that we lived there (the same complex Katie lives in) and I am still bitter that I didn't just walk up to the front door of the rhino's house and ask the owners where the heck they got it. I mean, who honestly has something like that?!?

That is a very interesting yard decoration. I have never seen anything quite like it. My question is where in the world do you buy something like that? I'm with Jennifer I think the curiosity would kill me, I might have to find out.

Hey! I have a picture of that rhino too! I love it. It's actually been here since Christian and Jen lived there... oh wait, I just read their comment. Yeah, I remember Christian showing it to me way back in 2004! :) Sometimes I forget we live so close by... we should get together sometime! :)
