Can they make me a plastic Catherine Bell?

What are they paid in? Monopoly money?

That's not so far fetched. Not far from me, a guy put a fake deer in his yard right next to the road in a wooded area. As you came round a curve, all of a sudden you saw this deer head as if it was ready to jump out in front of you. I almost **** a brick the first time I saw it (in the dark). It was gone within a few weeks. I think the cops had a talk with him.
