Mind In The Gutter

See this swing?  It hangs in the front yard of a house I often drive by.

I understand it’s supposed to be a horse made out of a tire, I get that.

But seriously, I can’t help but think this swing is used for other things I won’t mention here!

Don’t you think it should be in the back yard?

I’ll go pick up my mind from the proverbial gutter now.  Forgive me.

It just really creeps me out.

  1. Looks like the plastic covers on the exam table at my gynecologist’s. I refuse to speculate further, but that sure as heck would NOT be hanging in my yard.However, the kids probably have a great time on it…and speaking of kids, wonder how the kids would play with the exam stuff in the doctor’s office ?KathyB.

  3. LOL its your mind … to me the little kid in me says WOW I wish I had a swing like that. I think its pretty inventive and much better than the misquito beds that always hung around the neighborhoods when I was young.
    Happy Saturday!

  4. Oh no Cathy, you are not alone in the imagination department. Some restaurants here sell those and have them hanging out front on the porch to view. After dinner recreation anyone? kind of scary…

  5. I don’t believe it is meant for any other reason than a horse swing. Just because it is hideous looking it should be in the back yard. I agree with you there! What do your boys think about it? They might think it is cool. It looks like something from a “redneck” joke. Are there other items of “junk” lying around? Does the owner go by the name of “Bubba”?

  10. Chuckle. Thanks for the morning laugh, Cathy! Yes, I get it. I have seen these and thought they were hideous looking for sure. Somehow they disturbed me, too. And, now I can totally imagine the other uses …

  11. I guess I’ve been around my (southern husband/kids/Texans) too long to see anything other than the tire swing my boys have wanted since they saw it at the local feed store. Yes you read that right, feed store.

  12. I used to want one of those so badly for the kids when they were little, but I never could justify spending however much it was on an old tire. I kept thinking, “We could *make* that, couldn’t we?” So, the cheapskate in me never allowed it and now my kids are too old for it.

    Dh and I might not be too old though. I’m trying to think how else that might be used, but your post makes it sound like it could be fun. We do have a little more money than we did when the kids were young, so maybe I could justify it with my inner tightwad.

    Some of the comments about ob/gyn exam table do NOT make it sound like fun though. I know the Wild Boar is an ob/gyn, so I hope you aren’t too upset to hear that I avoid those special little visits! “Annual” means every 10 years when not pregnant, right?

  21. I guess my imagination has gone to the dogs, right along with my body. I see a horse swing.

    I have even imagined it swinging over a bed and it just makes me scratch my head and yell, giddy up.

  23. I can’t help but wonder…did you walk into their front yard to snap this shot, or did you use a telephoto lens and sit in the car?

    And to whomever wrote, “If the horse is a rockin’—don’t come a knockin’,” well, hot darn, that’s just too funny at 10 AM on a Saturday morning. It’s gonna be a good weekend!

  34. Okay this is interesting looking, even creative. I think kids would love it but I see a butchered horse which is sick.

    But I am so glad I am not the only one with a dirty mind. I mean I am 51 and still think a good dirty joke is the funniest.

  36. Wow, they say you can tell a lot about yourself AND your neighbor by snooping on what your neighbor has in their yard or house (it was an article in a magazine I think it was Real Simple or something). Your neighbor just happened to reveal a lot just in their front yard!!! I don’t think i’d probably go any further!!

    Here’s what I learned about myself from your picture… I was thinking… uh, Children of The Corn. The horse is rather scary looking without eyes and the hollow face and all. Rather grim looking. I can picture it swinging in the wind at night. Guess that reveals a little bit about me too now. Too many scary movies! No more HBO for me!

    You are so funny! Always making everyone laugh and so many funny comments here! It beats the serious news!

  43. I didn’t see the horse either till I really lokked at it. This thing should hang in a shrinks office as some kind of a test, like the ink blot test….What do YOU see?? LOL!!

  46. I see where you’re coming from. But, my objection to the thing goes deeper than that. My dad was forever making things out of old tires. Flower pots was his favorite. Big, huge, wildly colored flower pots. And then he’d try to sell them in the front yard. This swing brings up the humiliation those tire crafts brought to my teenage years.

  53. I have absolutely no idea what on earth you could be thinking, really I don’t get it. I think maybe if is creepy that I’m thankful to be ignorant about this.
    Just looks like a swing to me.

    By the way do you save corks?
