Give a Hoot

Since I posted about the unique Cheeky Whissstling Gnome a little while back, I know that you’ve all been yearning for more treats from the wondrous Penny Miller Catalogue. Today I present for you the Motion Activated Owl, a fit companion for the Whissstling Gnome if ever I saw one!
Yes, this owl, with its ‘menacing glow in the dark eyes’ is not for the faint-hearted. Featuring a ‘true to life hooting sound’ it joins forces with the Gnome to make sure that your garden is cleansed, not only of unwanted intruders, but of ‘birds and other unwanted animals’ as well. Penny Miller, with her Owl & Gnome Army, is evidently aiming to single-handedly demolish both the pest-control and security industries in one fell swoop!
Of course, with all the whistling & hooting, and the staring eyes, it’s distinctly possible that your garden could start to resemble a buck’s night at the Oxford Tavern so you might want to give your neighbours a heads-up. Especially if you live next door to me – I’ll need to get my air-rifle out of the basement.
Interesting because we have actual flesh and blood owls here (not from a catalog mind you) and my garden is full of all sorts of pests and rodents.
Are you and Penny Miller insinuating that these “store-bought” owls are better and more effective than the real thing?
Any relation to Penny?
It’s very public spirited of PubGoer from Balmain to inform us that there is a better standard of tit in the pokie room at the Oxford Tavern.
Maybe Penny needs to make a Shocking Garden Tit. The intruder is distracted by a Large Ceramic Boobie. As he, helpless to resist, reaches out his hand for a fondle, ZZZZAP. (see SGMs passim).
Wouldn’t do much for your rodents, though.
Mike: It’s Penny who’s doing all the insinuating. Personally I think the Owl & the Gnome are likely to be about as effective as a eunuch at an orgy.
Atlas: Anything’s possible.
Cissy: Are you suggesting Penny should show us her tits?
(PubGoer of Balmain is fond of a “quite” drink, too, did you notice?)
Yes, and he seems keen on ordinary fetes, as he refers to “standard fair”.
for a while, I, too, actually have a real life owl outside. Freaks people out. then she’s gone.
you have an air rifle?
Cissy Strutt:There’s Oxford Tavern manages to garner some intriguing reviews. For instance, Steven Calder from Glasgow remarks:
(Wha?)
And Freelance from Sydney is of the opinion that:
There ya go ladies – Freelance is a man of class.
treespotter: Do you have a real life gnome as well. ‘Cause I’m coming ’round for the show.
Nurse Myra: And yet, my acquisition of a basement goes unremarked…
uuhh, Halloween?
Atlas: Hooters and midgets. Right up Polanski’s alley, I agree.
Malach: At least.
very nice!!!
