I love it! And if poor Charles Brown lived by me, he would be thinking,”Why is that crazy woman with the Velcro roller in her hair running out into the yard wielding a flyswatter yelling and screaming at that groundhog?” I NEED him on that wall. 0 likes Reply Amy Vansant May 16, 2013 You know, I JUST realized “charles brown” = Charlie Brown. Weird how things your head happen when you don’t even realize it… 1 likes Reply Lance May 15, 2013 A skink walks into a bar, bartender says “Salamander Brandy?”, skink responds “I’m a skink you skunk and my name’s Roberta”. That’s a really good picture. I think the skink was looking out for your dog. Our skinks/lizards/salamanders/tiny reptiles peek around for Buddy the golden retriever, too. 0 likes Reply Amy Vansant May 15, 2013 I am physically in pain… We take pictures with the phone all the time and they are ALWAYS blurry (probably because of the DTs) but this one was perfect! I think even the skinks know our dog is a wuss. 0 likes Reply Tammy R May 15, 2013 Love them all, Amy. Deadeye Dirk really got me! I also love the last one because we always have little critters creeping about on our patio fence. We do feel that we NEED them! 0 likes Reply Amy Vansant May 15, 2013 I think they’re so cute… this one has a really thick tail too so he must be the smart guy – no birds he had to break it off for to escape! 1 likes Reply cj May 15, 2013 Oh, that I were a tiny, cute skink!!! We have anoles down here in Houston. They are very entertaining and make great dinner guests. My fave is the dinosaur Billy one. Kudos to Mike for the pic. Hey, has Mike done the creepy office guy thing lately? That was really something. 1 likes Reply Amy Vansant May 15, 2013 I met some assholes in Houston once…oh ANOLES! Sorry. 🙂 Creepy office guy shows up at least once a week, though sometimes he gets lost in all his other characters… 1 likes Reply cj May 15, 2013 Ha!!! We are chock full of both, really. Hi to creepy office guy and all the others too!!! 0 likes Michele Drier May 15, 2013 Skink, skank, skunk…oh, that’s the one I have. I’d rather have skinks! Can you get a picture when Billy becomes a dinosaur? That would be cool…! 0 likes Reply Gina May 15, 2013 I had no idea what a skink was, or that they even existed for that matter. But I am from the Midwest. 🙁 All we really have here is snowstorms, road construction, and definitely skanks. Skanks Galore! Thanks for the skink quotes.
