Yeah you are right about the statue having the potential of being painful!
The guy is actually a good friend and a good sport. But he does need help!
And no I do not need help! I can quit whenever I want to!

Well, "Just Me" IMHO I think you're lucky your wife was of quick wit to
get
you out of there without a statue being pushed over on to your head. Try
to
do that with a collection of koi and the offending foe only gets wet and
probably more offensive. Statues, otoh, like ouch! ~ jan ;o)

I have this neighbor with at least 20 full size statues on his front
lawn,
darn place looks like a cemetery. So being the social butterfly that I
am
aspiring to be, I stopped to chat with him one day.

His wife begged me to come to their backyard! Holly mother of statues!
It
is a different world. Statues everywhere. At least 250 statues on a 1/2
acre property! Peeing boy, fishing boy, buddha, Jesus, Virgin Mary,
dolphin, lion, name it, it was back there. He claims he is a collector,
and
will not sell any (Got him to sell me 2 terra cota sun devils though)

Anyway I started to tell him how he has a problem, and in need of
psychiatric help, the type of help that will include medications,
because
he is collecting things that he does not need, he has way too many of,
and
has overwhelmed his backyard.

My dear wife, God bless her loving soul quietly asked that when the guy
finds a good shrink to please take me along! Why I asked? She then went
on
to explain how I collect Koi that I don't need, have more than I should,
have become totally obsessed with, and our backyard has become Jacque
Cousteau's lab!

Does anyone here really think I need help?
