The Lakemoor front yard of Tina Asmus in June 2009

It’s Artistic expression.... Wins in court just about every time.

"I feel like they have given my freedom back," Asmus said.

Don’t go jumping to unfounded conclusions there Missus.

You merely dodged a bullet.

The fact that you had to obtain an attorney and show up in court to defend yourself against charges of violating a law that is a clear violation of freedom in the first place is clear evidence that you are not free.

Looks better than the rotting vehicle hulks of my neighbors.

Tacky people lead to bad laws.

Looks like a nice, well-kept yard to me.

Sure, the toilet planters are a little "different" but, then again, so is the Gasden Flag hanging on the front of my home.

Ceramic planters cost a lot of money and plastic ones do not wear well. An old toilet gives you the advantages of both.

WOW! Memory lane. I really loved my Aunt Faye (God Bless her soul) but she was “white trash” to the core; and I mean that in the best possible way, she ended up in the local paper twice holding up stuff she had shot (bobcat and a big rattlesnake). To her the top of the culinary arts was “shake and bake”, she was large and loud with an opinion on everything. She could really cuss, which to a sheltered preacher's kid was something to see an adult do. In front of her trailer where other people might have a hedge was a row of toilets that she used has planters; her “pee row” as she called it. I always thought it was her comment on life; “bloom where you are planted, even if it is a crappy place”.

Nicely done.

1. That’s odd looking.

2. It is tacky.

3. It’s her property, so #1 and #2 don’t matter. [Any bathroom humor is unintended]

4. I’d probably like her both as a person and as a neighbor a whole lot more than I’d like the busybody neighbors who insisted upon pressing charges.

Tina Asmus was fined $25 in June 2009 after police said she violated Lakemoor's public nuisance ordinance by using two toilets and a sink as flower planters outside her home. One of the toilets also had "God bless my neighbors" written on it, as well as a smiley face.

NOT A PING

DUDE! That yard is money!
