And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Imagine meeting this at dusk on your evening walk.
I camped on an island on the Mississippi once and came out of my tent late at night and saw a death star planet above the island! I was concerned enough that I woke my wife to have a look. We were spooked. At first light we saw it was a marker ball on a very high power line. Duh!
Don't be silly. 1) You get a couple of those solar patio walkway lights, and put the panels on the upper side away from the face, with a wire punched through to the "face". Then put green diffusion lenses over the lights.
2) Get a cordless game caller, conceal it near the base of that thing, and put something really eerie on the chip. The scream of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park, set to playback at 11, would be a good choice. Rig it up so anyone walking in front of that trips the motion sensor.
3) Trail camera to catch the hilarity that ensues, and go viral on the net.
If you're going to prank, go big. There's no such thing as too much.
NEE!

DeleteA sleeping Ent, as the say in Middle Earth.
ReplyDeleteis that an embedded tombstone?
ReplyDeleteMeh. Twenty-six rounds of .45ACP might make an impression.
ReplyDeleteMy response would be "Let's see if it's allergic to boolits."
DeleteThere is a house near where I work and there is a tree formation that looks like a hound from hell.
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteStick a couple of red reflectors where the eyes need to be.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of big googly eyes.

DeleteJust plain, ordinary everyday evil.

Imagine that thing coming to life at dusk on a moonless night...There's a good beginning to a campfire story for the kids right there.
