Title: Snowman: A tragic end
Post by: minnesotamodeler on March 22, 2011, 01:52:37 PM
Sad to tell, my snowman died, as all snowmen must when Spring approaches...

That is sad...
On the brighter side no burial or funeral needed. He will just melt and run off. HB~>

I am a bit disappointed.
 I grew up in Florida and know nothing about real winter so I was always led to believe a snowman was built by rolling up balls of snow.
The frame for the thing I see here could also be used as a ghost, a pilgrim, a Santa Claus or a very ugly Easter bunny.
This framework gives me a new found respect for snowballs, what's inside of them?

The framework is cheating. We had some snowmen over 6 ft high, They were ALL SNOW.

Well Ray, "they say that all good things must end some time, Autumn leaves must fall......."

It appears he lead a full and meaningful life.  I'm sure the neighbors will miss him.

We had a plea from the authorities over here recently, "Please don't block our 999 calls (= your 911) with non-urgent matters. One example given was that some woman had phoned that someone had stolen her snowman!

Just the snow is enough!
The younger kids in the neighbor hood made a 3-4ft dia snow ball and placed it in the street.
The older kids in the neighbor hood thought the Datsun Fairlady could drive on through the snow ball.
Foot to the floor with 100ft running start.........stereo full blast
NOPE! did not go as planed. Snow ball -well ok a slush ball wins / car loose. Ok- they both lost.
The adults in the neighborhood for some reason not real happy with the new look in the grill/ hood area.
Snow man poop looking stuff all over the place.

The Ya Ya Sister Hood(movie, mostly true)....at the camp scene.....was one of those ladies car....(name with held)
HA! memories...Her son gave me my 2nd Flightstreak with RH.35!
Uncles camp, Grandmothers Beauty Shop. The pilot, the little boy--Should quit while ahead!(the writer is in
deep do do around these here parts)
