That's about a block from my house. I walked by the day it first went up and i SWORE it was some kind of ironic art display. I KNEW it must be a joke. Then I saw the old man who lived there and started rethinking it. Then I thought some more and decided that even HE was part of the performance art ... that somebody had decided to put this dude and his misspelled signs in the front yard as some kind of bit ... to make people laugh or think (think what I am not sure) ... but I think it's actually real. While I agree with his right of free speech, it is so very confusing, and hilarious and sad.

That's just rude. I don't see mdahmus coming over to your house and taking pictures of your yard decorations to put on the internet.

Oh dear, that house is in Austin? This photo made the rounds in early Oct. Same house, but minus the cat, and + a rebel flag & the house's occupants. I had no idea it was in Hyde Park. Hm. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f166/Herse182/?action=view¤t=mavrik.jpg

That's supposed to be someone's idea of Halloween decorations, right? Right?
