But we did light off a wish lantern, which was awesome except one rude gust of wind collapsed it a bit and the candle inside burned a hole through the paper. And then it floated sideways for a bit, then died in some blackberry brambles (which are very flammable, said a worried ex-volunteer firefighter Erik). (No, we did not burn Beaverton down.) I made a very important wish on that dang thing, and it dies in some brambles? What the heck does that mean for my wish?! Very rude.
The next day, I started off 2011 by working on car parts and going to the tool store. Erik had to fix the control arms (I am pretty fancy with all this car lingo) of his old Camaro, and also needed an excuse to use his new 20-ton shop press. That is what he bought on our last trip to the tool store, instead of something normal, like a drill bit or a hammer. Our trips to the tool store are usually never normal though. Who walks in and demands a 20-ton shop press and a 1-lb anvil?! Oh yeah...us.
But my anvil is cute!
So anyway, we went to Lowe's on New Year's Day, Erik's eyes glazed over in the "TOOL WORLD" section, we spent way too much time in the nuts, bolts, and washer aisle, I did NOT get to go to the home decor section despite multiple pleadings, and then I saw this, which is basically the reason for this post.
It is a crazy deer on a package for deer/mole/squirrel deterrent.I laughed so hard when I saw this deer.
WHY DOES HE HAVE FANGS?!
I just love that the packaging artist decided to depict deer as these horrible, raging yard monsters that have canine teeth and will attack you and maul you in your sleep.
