For SIGNS SIGNS hosted by Lesley -- Thanks!
Some people are fanatically loyal to a certain brand of vehicle. (Personally, we're loyal to whatever vehicle will get us safely where we need to go for the least amount of money possible.)
The brand loyalists often have signs or bumper stickers that let everybody know how much they love their favorite. I guess it's a harmless obsession.
This sign on the left shows the slogan for one particular truck brand.
And the person who has that sign in his yard has taken his truck love to this extreme:
(Both topiary rams look as if they have a lamp-post growing out of their heads, but I didn't quite have the nerve to knock on the door and ask this guy if he'd come out and move his planters for me.)
It's great when extreme is fun!

The sign is funny, the topiary is a bit much, but to each, their own.

Putting an obsession into practice even in the garden! This is hilarious!

That is one obsessed owner. Perhaps he chose this brand for the logo?!

Just too funny!

That is a creative way to show brand loyalty.

That is too funny. Imagine the obsession to match the topiary to a brand.

I'm not really loyal to any brand of car or truck, but I do find this hilarious. That's extreme loyalty!

That is a bit extreme. I'm like you the best deal counts lots.

That is true dedication! Topiary takes such a long time to do !

That is a beautiful ram - wondering if Edward Scissorhands gave them a hand on this one.

Well, at least whoever did the topiary did a decent job of it. Maybe the little ram just got an idea and that's why the lamp is there. tee hee

Oh, my, he is serious about his love for Dodge. Never thought of making my favorite brand into a topiary!

Like you, I go for affordable, reliable, and safe. That shrubbery is impressive!
Posted by: Al | August 08, 2012 at 06:48 PM
Great captures! That is seriously weird.

It's a little bizarre! And juvenile, if you ask me! But no one did!

Sallie, you find some of the most interesting and unusual photo opportunities. This one has to be moved to the number one spot on my list of your most unique.
Wouldn't life be so dull if we were all the same?
