I knew someone who did that.
He was running in the wods near his home and thought it might be a lark to knock up some scary stuff and hang it in the trees,
He spent ages doing it, and then actually managed to freak himself out.
He no longer runs through that part.
Weirdo.

When I was a lad we would make a scarecrow and fill it full of leaves. A mate and I would hold the scarecrow between us and walk down the side of the road at night. It would look like three of us were walking. When a car would drive by us we would toss the scarecrow out in front of the car and run...........

Looking back at that and thinking how scared I would have been I can't believe we did that.

Umm...I got attacked by a german shepard as a kid.

Are you scared of them now?

Me too Crimsonnyte, while I was riding my bike. I like doggies as long as they have a nice temper about them.

My daughter was bitten a while back. In fact, she's had two small bites, but one was a puppy so it was more in play.
Both times she was miles away from the dog, but it came charging over. Luckily we've done our best to expose her to nice doggies so she doesn't get a complex, but it's hard once you've been bitten, as I'm sure you both know.

It's all an act with puppies.
Sweetie-cutie-cuddley-fluffy-happy-RAZOR-SHARP-TEETH!!!!

Me too! Totally unprovoked. They put it to sleep after that incident.

I was also hit by a motorcycle riding my bike when I was about 7.

No. But I am partial to smaller dogs because of it.

I'm partial to chocolate.
Please don't eat small dogs, Crim.

I would never eat my pookie!

Wasn't pookie the teddy bear in Garfield?

yea but...I call my dog that. Actually, Sik Simon from here calls me pookie - dunno why.

Because he loves you and needs you and you make him all warm inside?
And maybe one of your eyes needs sewing back on?

Awe...will you sew it back on for me Nivvie?

Ok, hold still now...this might sting a tad....

Eeeeeh....-twitch-

Dammit woman, I said to keep still, now I've stitched it on halfway down your cheek.

awe...
