NPR did a review of this a few weeks ago. They concluded that it was completely inaccurate.

You should certainly find an agency and make sure they pay the Social Security or you will be responsible for that...or at least be aware you are responsible for that come tax time.

cupajo, bad example. Those are actual threats. This luggage is obviously not suggesting that the actual items are contained within.

wow, you guys are taking these too seriously. It is not in poor taste to 9/11 victims and families... It is a commentary on the draconian methods TSA is taking in the name of increased security. Had these been made to show box knives instead... then yes poor taste to 9/11 victims.

Would these buy you some extra time with TSA? yea, probably. Would I travel via air with one as carry on? no. Do I support the freedom for someone else to? Absolutely.

Our house came with those in the backyard. I really dig them but the dogs still periodically get confused by them.

Pretty cool. I have a friend here in New Orleans that used shipping pallets to fix the rotted out floor in her house... of course, those were south african mahogany pallets that she got for free and milled on the cheap because the miller thought they were pine.

How about build out the wall so it is even? Certainly a much bigger change that other suggestions but if the space bothers you that much, that would fix it.

I dig them.. I just wish they were at slightly different stances so they did not quite look like they were in formation.

true and the first time it was a cool concept but now it is pretty tired. I have seen it in a couple of installations in the last few years.

kimg924,

I have seen big and smaller versions of this chair. Also I would imagine leather outside would not be a good option. Perhaps sometime more like this...

Boomer,
Most modern cities have laws and ordinances that cover most of your listed concerns. HOA's can be a good thing...I suppose. They are created by a real estate developer and use it as a selling point to make all the houses look alike. I briefly lived in a neighborhood with a HOA and they made one of the neighbors paint his house three times because they did not like the color, which they had approved. Twice. And because of the HOA's power of civil suit he had to fork out for repainting or go to court. However a neighborhood association is generally a good thing. They can made suggestions and bring involvement between home owners, renters and the city together.

Here is another example, my current neighbor has a tiny front yard. They went out of town for two weeks in June. The grass grew quite tall. In most HOA's in America he would have come home to a fine for not cutting his grass. But since we live in a Neighborhood association we just cut his grass while we were doing our own. Which he would have done for us in the same situation.

Home Owners Associations are a result of developer built sprawl that people who like everything to look nice and "normal" have begun to cling to... It is a new construction thing. I am surprised anyone who reads AT would be such a staunch fan of the HOAs.

Did not the Mrs Tea come out in the early 80's for this very purpose? Just saying...

I have been wanting an AT:no for a long time. I think we have a lot to offer down here that is very different from the other cities represented.

Ronzo,

Way to be positive. This Korean grass is more commonly known as Zoysia. It is a VERY common type of grass and doesnt grow tall even when left unmowed as it is a creeper. But you do bring up a good point, HOA's are evil.
