"Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."

26 regels voor 'Shotgun!'

1. The shotgunner must be in clear sight of the car, and shotgun can be called regardless of whether the driver is in sight of the car
2. If you are the first to be picked up on a journey you are automatically given shotgun. You retain this position for the entire journey, unless you violate rules 12, 17, 23 or any other rules stipulating the loss of shotgun.
3. You cannot declare shotgun if someone has previously declared shotgun for that journey.
4. When simultaneous shotgun is called, there is then a foot race to the passenger side door from all the people who called.
5. Shotgun cannot be called whilst inside a building (unless you are in a multi-storey or underground car park!)
6. Shotgun cannot be called in advance, only whilst on the way to the car for the journey.
7. Once shotgun has been called the driver has the option of a reload. The driver yells "reload" and this means that all previous calls of shotgun are void and the first person to call shotgun again gets the seat. This is helpful if the driver really doesn't like the person who first called shotgun. It is often used when there is a simultaneous call and the driver is unsure of the outcome. Note that a shotgun has only 2 barrels so a reload can only be called once.
8. Ja rob rule...if he's in the car shotgun now means back left, so he cant punch you every time a yellow car goes past.
9. Once shotgun has been called for the front seat then back left and back right can be called. This effectively leaves the slowest person to travel in the middle (of the "bitch" seat).
10. Because everyone is created equal, men have the same right to the front seat of the car as women (ie women don't own the front seat!).
11. If the regular driver of the vehicle is drunk or otherwise unable to perform their duties as driver, then he/she is automatically given shotgun.
12. Once the journey has begun, the driver is the obvious controller of the tunes. However if they feel the road requires their full attention, or they simply cannot be arsed any more, duty is passed to the shotgunner. However putting on crap tunes or allowing for silence when the iPod finishes a song or ANY instances of TAKE THAT will result in demotion to bitch seat.
13. Anyone calling shotgun must have his or her shoes on. This is to stop people running outside and calling shotgun, then having to go back inside to put their shoes on and slowing the journey. This is known as the Shoe Rule.
14. Shotgun overrules Dibs, Baggsies and other girly calls!
15. Despite the debate, shotgun CAN be used to shotgun things other than the front seat (eg back left, back right, women, not going to answer the door, etc).
16. When travelling with a couple, one of the couple MUST shotgun the front. No one wants to chauffer two of their mates whilst they are in the back all over each other.
17. If someone has successfully called shotgun, they have the right to the front seat. They do not have the right to correct the driver on their navigation skills ("take a left here you dickhead!") or driving ability ("I'd be in third gear if I was driving"). If the passenger does this, then they forfeit their position as shotgun holder.
18. If someone says, "what's shotgun?" after it has been called then they have to walk.
19. If the shotgunner attempts to open the door just as the driver is unlocking it and jams the lock half open so that the driver needs to lock it and unlock it again, the shotgunner forfeits their position. This is known as shotgun suicide.
20. The holder of shotgun assumes the responsibility for all gate opening, off license nipping into, takeaway ordering and question asking. He/she is in essence the copilot and therefore the enforcer of behavior in the vehicle and exacter of slaps/punches/water spraying/bag throwing at the passengers in the back.
21. Automatic "couple's rights act 1997". This law states that, if the driver is the boyfriend/girlfriend of a passenger in the car, this person has the right to the seat of their choice.
22. If one of the potential occupants of the vehicle is dressed (convincingly) as a pirate then they are given automatic shotgun. In the event of more than one pirate being present, a sword fight shall determine the successful shotgunner. This is known as The Pirate Rule.
23. When driving past a woman walking a dog, everyone in the car must shout out the window, "who's walking who?" It is the shotgunner's responsibility and failure to spot potential heckling, results in demotion to the bitch seat!
24. When riding in a 2 or 3 door car, it is the responsibility of the shotgunner to allow rear passengers in and out of the back of the car, NOT THE DRIVERS!! Regardless of the weather conditions.
25. Obviously the previous rule on the subject didn't clarify things completely with everyone coming up with a new rule that over rules shotgun. NOTHING overrules shotgun. Shotgun is final and cannot be overruled!!!!
26. It is the successful shotgunners responsibility to be on the look out for any police and/or speed cameras. if the shotgunner doesn't spot a speed camera and this results in a speeding ticket it is immediately their fault and not the drivers.

Die slaan we even op!

afprinten en in de auto hangen zodat er geen discussie kan ontstaan

Hang naast de huisregels, als referentie van artikel 25:

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. You can handle it. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
2. Yes, peeing standing up is more difficult than peeing from point blank range. We're bound to miss sometimes.
3. No, we don't know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.
4. Nothing says 'I love you' like sex in the morning.
5. Don't fake it. We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.
6. Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.
7. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon. Let it be.
8. Crying is blackmail.
9. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
10. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
11. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving  it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
12. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
13. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
14. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
15. Women wearing Wonder bras and low-cut blouses lose their right to complain about having their boobs stared at.
16. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
17. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
18. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
19. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
20. Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, and neither do we.
21. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
22. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
23. If we ask what is wrong  and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
24. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
25. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss topics such as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
26. Sometimes, we're not thinking about you. Live with it.
27. You have enough clothes.
28. You have too many shoes.
29. Foreign films are best left to foreigners.
30. Check your oil.
31. I am in shape. ROUND is a shape.

Ehmmm, wat is shotgun?

Ehmmm, wat is shotgun? 

Een schietgeweer 

Bij deze betekent het dat als jullie meerijden met iemand, dat je plaats mag nemen op de Bitch Seat, oftewel de middelste plaats op de achterbank

Riding Shotgun betekent dat je voorin naast de bestuurder zit. Komt volgens mij uit de tijd van De Postkoets, toen degene die naast de koetsier zat ook daadwerkelijk met een geweer (echter een Winchester ) verantwoordelijk voor de veiligheid tegenover overvallers was.

Een stotteraar komt bij een goede vriend aan. Deze bekijkt hem en ziet dat zijn vriend stotteraar een ket van een blauw oog heeft.
Awel zegt de vriend, hoe komt gij aan dat blauw oog?
Dadada's van mijn schschschoonvavader!
Amai zegt de vriend, toffe schoonpa hebt gij. Waarom doet hij nu zoiets?

Pppff, zegt de stotteraar, we wwaren nnnnaar dde TV aan het kkkkijken en de hhoond ligt vvvvoor mmmijnnen neus en is zich mmmmet zzijnen aaachterpppoot in zijnen nnnnek aan het kkrrabben.   
En ik vraag aaaaaan mmmmijn sssschschoonvvvader oof hij dat ook kkkan. En hij klklopt oop mijn oog.

Ja, zegt zijne maat, dat is toch geen reden om iemand een blauw oog te kloppen zeker!

Iiinndderdaad, zegt de stotteraar, mmmaar tegen ddat iik dat ggevraagd had,
was den hhhooond al aan zijn ffffluit aan het likken
