m'kay, people...this thing appeared in our front yard IN THE MIDDLE of a plant that has done nothing but sit there as long as I've been alive.
It's at least TEN FEET TALL!
What? Did the Kreatrix plant some magic beans and now some big hairy giant dude is gonna come down and get me?
Seriously...this is some interplanetary species the Kreatrix has imported from her home planet.
She came inside from photographing her alien plant and left these on her desk.
ALIEN EGG PODS!
I let out a little scream which paled in comparison to the scream that came from down the hallway at the same time.
We all went running and found Bandit with some body parts.
Kreatrix looks at me and hisses
Didn't you tell him?
I whimpered back
I didn't tell him, I thought you did. And you shouldn't leave body parts lying around!
Well, well, well...seems somebody slipped up and neglected to explain to Bandit how we "come to be". Ya know, how we get hatched/stitched/birthed.
First we had to pry the limb from his grasp.
And then Kreatrix had an idea to get him to let go. She left the room while I talked softly to him.
I gasped when she entered the room with the alien egg pods!! Nooooooo.
She explained to him he needed to watch over these until they were "ready".
READY!!! Ready FOR WHAT?????!!!! Hey Kreatrix, you left that part out!
And now Bandit is filled with purpose.
Last I checked he had Ginger sitting on them to keep them warm.
I had to get some air, so I went out on the back patio and found this.
Is this what hatches out of the pods? I...I...
I needed to lay down, so I came indoors and this appeared:
What the...
Apparently, I passed out and am now resting comfortably far away from the alien egg pods and that bad Santa dude.

Very scary thing shooting out of the agave... even scarier nutcracker. Very funny post.

OMG! Hysterical. My husband had to play the little video twice. Thank you so much for the giggles. Great way to start the day!! Can hardly wait for my daughter and grandson to see this.

That thing growing in your front yard is definitely Jack and the Beanstalk-ish and kind of freaky!
Body parts laying around = very freaky!!
Nutcrackers in the dark=extremely freaky!!!
Bandit hatching avocados-I have no words!!!!
Bella
What the heck is that thing? It really does look like Jack and the Beanstalk. I'm gonna be laughing over that 'bad santa' for quite awhile. I collect nutcrackers and have one similar. My husband swears it'll come to life a terrorize us. Will have to show him your bad santa.

My, my, my, what a day you've had Chairman. Strange alien plants springing up in the yard, body parts freaking out Bandit, green pods that could burst open and steal your body (shouldn't have mentioned that), and the every present evil nutcracker. I think you need a spa day, take Bandit he needs one too, leave the pods.

Love the post, so clever and funny. Adore the cats and the video! That's a bad Santa!
