Explain to me the old yard decor (looking at the rear of a woman

Clearly the old lady in the cut-out is h-a-w-t. Why do you need these things explained?

It is not hot, it's depicting a old lady.... What would be hot? A mid 20's cowgirl in the same position with rough cut jean shorts showing thigh!

if that was in my yard,Id have trolls from Ill.stalking my yard

From your 1st post you mentioned the woman's rear and the perverseness of it, Vern. But I see 2 rears...

You are right, Mr. Flatlander. It is not "hot" anymore. But neither is his and I bet, if these were real folks, they'd be grateful that they had another summer to garden and sit outside and listen to the birds together.

These were all over the neighborhood when I was growing up. Nothing perverse about them. It's just yard art of people bending over doing gardening work. Why would people put them in their yard? Why not? They thought they were funny or cute or as some folks call it "a garden whimsey."

I think it's fun to see what people do with their gardens. Up here we do tend toward a lot of garden whimsey and I think it's because our summer is so short. I think it says something hilarious about human nature that we decorate gardens for no reason other than it's entertaining. It's all in good fun.

Those and pink flamingos -- TACKY!!

I'm not offended by those but I do think they're ugly. That being said I keep plastic flamingos in my garden. To each their own and all that.

Come on! Haven't there been times when you've wanted to go all "Braveheart" on the world, and show 'em what you think of the full moon? These people have got it together, and your opinions about them don't matter all that much more to them than you've already been shown.

Wish I had thought of that...

The boy urinating in the yard replaced the old lady bending over, same tacky trash.

While we're on the subject of garden decor/yard art, I have my own question...what's the deal with the statues of black jockeys? I've simply never "got" that one.

I've never been a fan of garden decor/yard art, but the two pieces I would add if I had the "right" space for them would be the "bird girl" statue in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah and a really "good" Green Man.

My Mom has garden gnomes (ugh!), but to each his/her own, I guess. At least she doesn't have old tires painted white lining the sides of the driveway (which you see a LOT of down here).

The internet if full of jumbo about the Black Jockey.

...and as I was looking this up, there were a lot of colored folks calling these statues racist because it's usually found in the white folks yard.....

At least it has some history behind it, I agree much of it is "tacky trash", seriously.

I like my lawn to look "natural", rocks and things like bird baths, perhaps a lighthouse is okay. Flowers all good.

However, some people dress it up as a junk yard! Gazing globes, black silloletes of smoking cowboys leaning on a tree, images of people bending over and showing butt crack, boys peeing, weird perverse things do not need to be in your lawn, unless of course, you are perverse yourself!
