Skeleton Lovers Inflatable Halloween Yard Decoration: Deathly Afternoon Delight

Posted on by

Perfect for my annual risque Halloween party, this Skeleton Couple inflatable decoration (affiliate link) features two skeletons apparently engaged in some boning of their own. My my! As far as sexy Halloween decorations go, this is certainly up there. Way up there. Possibly at the very top.

The couple measures 5.5′ tall, 4.5′ wide, and 6′ long, making it even larger than real life. Of course, if anybody from your homeowner’s association says they think it’s inappropriate, you can tell them to get their mind out of the gutter and that the couple is simply embracing. They’re totally doing it, though, at least in my mind.

What’s next, inflatable zombie and vampire couples getting it on? We can only hope. And by we, I mean me because I don’t want to be presumptuous and assume you have the same refined taste in Halloween yard decorations that I do. I hope you do, though, and I wish that we were neighbors.

Giant Dinosaur Bone Lawn Ornaments: Jurassic Park at Home

Posted on by

Because who doesn’t like pretending they’re a weekend paleontologist, purveyor of eccentric home and garden decor Design Toscano has created these giant dinosaur bone lawn sculptures. I can already imagine myself brushing some dirt off in front of guests and telling them I unearthed it this morning. “I think it’s a Brachiosaurus femur,” I’ll casually mention like I have any clue what I’m talking about.

Available on Amazon (affiliate link), each bone is handmade using crushed stone set in resin for an authentic fossilized look. They measure 43″ long, 17″ wide, 16″ tall, and weigh approximately 20 pounds. Obviously I’m going to bicep curl one in each hand as part of a new prehistoric workout fad I’m developing called Fit as a Caveman.

My dog is going to lose her mind when sees what’s in the box. Granted she only weighs 13 pounds, but her eyes have always been bigger than her stomach. One time she ripped a hole in her dog food bag and tried to eat what was left in it. Tried to – and succeeded. She’s a true testament to trying hard and believing in yourself.

Star Wars Jawa Lawn Ornaments Are Ready to Scavenge Your Neighborhood

Posted on by

After years of roaming the desert, the Jawas want a more lush climate. Your front yard should do just fine. But if your neighbors have droid lawn ornaments, they will turn up missing, only to be sold in your yard at bargain basement prices. Especially if any of the units has a bad motivator. Just ask them what they are trying to pull.

This 16-inch Jawa lawn ornament is going to look great in your lawn or garden. It has glowing solar powered eyes and an on/off switch on the back of its hood.

You have to buy several, so that when they release a sandcrawler lawn ornament, you are ready to populate it.

R2-D2 Lawn Ornament: The Patch of Grass You Were Looking for

Posted on by

I’d quite like a droid to take care of some of the things around the house I really don’t want to do. Things like mowing the yard, vacuuming floors, watching HGTV with the wife and so on. With summer pretty much here for most of us, that means it’s time to work in the yard… you know, for fun. To be honest, you don’t do much of anything for fun outside during the summer in Texas, unless your idea of fun is getting fluids at the ER after heatstroke.

If you must spend time in the yard, you might as well ditch those creepy garden gnomes this year and go with this Star Wars R2-D2 lawn ornament.

This R2 lawn ornament measures about 17.5″ tall, weighs a hefty 6.5 lb., and is made from a durable cast resin. It rather looks like R2 forgot his shield and stared straight at Medusa’s gaze.

If it’s too hot to go outside and gander at your favorite droid, you can always display it inside. The lawn ornament sells for $69.99 at ThinkGeek.

Star Wars Lawn Ornament Turns Your Snowy Yard into a Tiny, Tacky Battle of Hoth

Posted on by

Ahhh… lawn ornaments. They come in two flavors: seasonal and tacky, or non-seasonal and really tacky. Being tongue-in-cheek makes them less tacky, and being inflatable makes them much, much more tacky. Tongue-in-cheek and seasonal is therefore the least tacky and most amusing form of lawn ornament. Luckily, this fallen AT-AT lawn ornament falls under that category.

Sitting alone in your yard, once snow starts to fall, the ornament starts looks like the abandoned aftermath of the Battle of Hoth, but it does beg for a destroyed power generator. Owners should also remember to put a few scorched craters in the yard every time it snows, otherwise the ornament will just start to look out of place.

The AT-AT measures 14.8″(L) x 2.2″(W) x 3.3″(H)  and is made of painted resin. It’s available at ThinkGeek for $39.99(USD).

Star Wars AT-AT Lawn Ornament: Keep Hoth the Grass!

Make your lawn look like the aftermath of the battle of Hoth with this cool AT-AT lawn ornament. This AT-AT has definitely seen better days. You try getting your legs taken out by a snowspeeder and see how you look.

It is a good way to remember the fallen heroes of Hoth and geek up the neighborhood at the same time. What’s interesting is that this is the only AT-AT that the rebels took out by tripping it. I bet the AT-AT driver still gets made fun of to this day. That’s pretty embarrassing.

Light-up Animated Dinosaur Christmas Lawn Ornament: Jurassic Holidays

Posted on by

We haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet, but since the stores are all advertising Christmas goodies that suck, I figured you would want to see something cool. This animated Stegosaurus Christmas lawn ornament goes for $140 and it is easily worth twice as much because dinosaurs and Christmas go together like Fred Flintstone and Brontosaurus burgers.

Its neck and tail move and he lights up. The only problem is that this dino is so cool you know some kid is just going to steal it and put it in his room for a night light. Oh well. Until that happens, this stegosaurus will look great in your nativity scene with baby Jesus riding the five-foot beast.
