I totally can't believe how stupid people are
It's raining like hell here and I hear a noise from out in the field. So I grab the spotlight and go out. When I get out of range of the house lights I turn on my light and there's some dumb sumbitch trying to pull my Obama sign out of the ground. I look down at the road and there's a girl sitting in the driver's seat of a pickup on the road at least 200 feet away. I hollered at him "Get your hands off that effin sign" and he was so startled he hauled ass down the hill, slipping sliding and falling on his ass in the wet grass. He finally made it to the pickup and the oman drove off.

This is a pretty lightly traveled road but that sign was visible from quite a way off. But why the fuck would someone go to all that trouble, gettin soaked to the skin, just to take down a political sign?

Unless some of his buds at the redneck bar down the road saw the sign and put this asswipe up to it.

BTW, that sign isn't going anywhere. It's mounted on a sheet of 1/2" plywood bolted (not nailed) to 2 4x4 posts that I set in 5 foot deep holes that I augered into the ground. Our bull goes over there every day and rubs his ass against the posts and he weighs 87,000 tons and the posts never move.

2. LOL...I'm surprised your bull didn't take him down, he was lucky!
I hope he slid through a bull pie while he was falling down the hill. :evilgrin:

15. He's a Red Angus bull. He weighs about 2200 lbs.
We keep him to sell his little swimmers.

21. You know I thought about that. He was obviously shit faced.
But see, the rain was falling on me too and I really wanted to get back inside, dry off, and post this.

The whole thing only took a couple of minutes.

"DO NOT TOUCH - ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!"

20. It's seems that your sign is attracting all kinds of ass-wipes. ;
"Get your hands off that effin sign" is right!

22. That doesn't make sense why they would even bother.
Sliding down the hill on his ass... and running scared. Maybe they wanted a sign because theirs was stolen... who knows.

24. I doubt it - there are just not a lot of Obama signs around here
But there are if the statistics are to be believed, a lot of meth labs in the woods. This guy was young, somewhat overweight and dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt. Didn't fit the tweaker profile but who knows. BUt scared - you bet, he didn't know whether I had a gun or not. Almost everybody around here does. I do too but I didn't take a gun out with me. Maybe he thought anybody with an Obama sign would be too much of a pussy to challenge him.

23. Ha...ha...I love that your bull goes to rub up against it.
The attempted thieves apparantly have nothing better to do. I wish you would have put some kind of jalepeno pepper on it....that would have made it even funnier.....friggen morans..

26. Aw gee thanks.

Tell you what, there are a lot worse places to live.

But you have to like snakes. Or at least not mind them. There are just a shitload of them around here.

If you plant an Obama sign, they will come.
