It can be a very well illustrated book thanks to Jay's awesome work.

Default Tall Tale?

QUOTE=Chris Sunkin;1209403]This is a sure-fire way to eliminate anyone driving through your yard.

The side of my lot abuts the main drag through our allotment and alot of local kids use it to see just how fast their POS rice rockets will go. I was getting the 20 feet between the road and my white picket fence turfed pretty regularly. I suppose it was irresistable. One flick of the wrist to the right and a stab at the gas pedal would give you 300 feet of fishtailing fun.

What I did was this- I planted a thick growing ground cover over there. Before I did, I went down to my shop and cut eight pieces of 10" I-beam each 4 feet long. They are buried at a 30 degree angle back with about 9" sticking up. The ground cover has well grown over it. If I weed-whacked the pachysandra, it would look like the tank traps on the beaches of Normandy.

I have no problem locating the culprits now. I just walk out whenever I see the flashing yellow lights of the wrecker trying to pull their impaled Civics and Mitsubishis off one of my "welcome party". It doesn't even loosen the I-beams. Pretty much everyone has gotten the message that the biggest prick in the county lives on the corner house with the white fence. I'm a hero to my neighbors, though.[/QUOTE]

These were obviously the kids who didn't get invites to all those pool parties that his daughter was famous for.
