You need to have someone come look at your house! You don't have enough to do! (Why didn't you add Abbye with a guard dog uniform? Your dog knows when she looks good!)

although i would've personally preferred either (1) a lighter shade of barbed wire or (2) "prison-style" with the large, interlocking cylinders of barbed wire, this is great and will definitely keep the squirrels out.

Phyllis, are you implying that my construction reporting has no redeeming value?

Kyle, it's called "concertina wire," and that's the area where we had to make a compromise due to budget constraints. If you and the band will send us your broken beer bottles, we'll be able to complete the project. ;-)

Where will you put the control tower?

Gwynne, the BATF is holding up my permit for the .50 cal. machine gun. Bureaucrats. What can you do? (Well, I know one thing, but that would probably delay my permit even longer.)

Heh. Darned bureaucrats.

When you're ready for the finishing touches, here's my supplier for pretty shards of glass. ;-)

Drat. Someone has to say it ... might as well be me.
"Good fences make good neighbors."

Gwynne, that's pretty glass, but I just need something that will match hemoglobin. ;-)

Uh, Deborah...post title? ;-)

Yes. Of course.

I've always been a fan of the moat with flesh eating fish in it myself...

Rachel, you've been to Midland. You know how hard it is to keep the rattlesnakes from eating the piranhas! ;-)

How about a rattlesnake moat then?

And who, besides Beth, would that scare?

I like Jim's idea...sounds like a scene out of Indiana Jones. Or a Monty Python sketch. 8-}

If you can't get a machine gun, can you get a flamethrower?

Stephen, that's a thought. It could double as a cookout accessory for the neighborhood wienie roasts...if there are any neighbors left to make a quorum.

If the brick posts at the corners were enlarged they might fit a sniper. Spot lights and tv cameras are a must of course, perhaps in tasteful earth tones.
