Day #23:
Outrage! I received an email from my dear friend, Katie Boggus today telling me of the
snowman killers in Guntersville. It went like this:
“Monday night Ryan and I built a snow family…sweet huh? I’m sure you can tell this was Ryan’s idea!
Last night while watching TV, I hear car doors slam and people laughing. Not usually a big deal since we live downtown on the main street, but quite odd when it’s 15 degrees and icy roads. I go look out and see a car full of people speeding away….
Ahhhhh, I can’t believe they knocked “Ryan’s” head off!!! BUT those &^%$ *&^ will NOT win, so I faithfully go rebuild my husband. I stand back, admire my family, feel good that I have not let the bad guys win and go back to sipping my hot chocolate. I’m about get in bed and I peek out the window to check on my “family”….
OMG!!!!!! I immediately start planning a McCauley Culkin\Home Alone attack for when the snow killers return; complete with marbles, tar and Michael Jordan on the record player!! This is when my level headed, always sensible husband steps in and reminds me that, after all, they are just snowmen, on what is technically a public sidewalk and my Home Alone traps might land me a night in the city jail.
Just wait. The next snow storm, I’ll be ready.”

Can you believe that?! I suggested that we skip the marbles and paint cans and go straight to "Cutting off their cahoonies and boiling them in motor oil". Today, we all noticed that some people are just plain mean. I also noticed that these kids (Chef insists they had to be 16... not sure why but he is sure) obviously didn't know what they were getting into. You DO NOT mess with our Katie Boggus and get away with it. We have rallied the troops and these creatures must be caught and given a proper snow wedgie. I now have wheels and I'm confident a car full of Marriott Crazies can take on the world if necessary. We love you (and your snow family) Katie Boggus!!! :0)
