[quote=Anonymous]Cracking up about the gargoyle! It reminds me of a family we're friends with--the first time we visited their home, we noticed a large, tacky statue in the backyard of a stone woman who looked like Strega Nona. The statue wasn't displayed in the yard as if it was part of a planned landscaping. It was more dumped in the very back corner of the yard under a tree. It also matched the style of absolutely nothing else in their home.

I asked some neutral question about the statue, and it opened the floodgates. Come to find out, it was a gift from the husband's stepfather, they find it absolutely hideous, but every time he visits he looks for it and makes comments about how much he likes it and how much it cost. So they can't take it to the dump without causing serious offense. And it's too heavy to haul in and out of the shed repeatedly. So they just put it in as inconspicuous a place as possible (though it's impossible for such a statue to be inconspicuous) and pretend it's not there.[/quote]
