Stuff That You Can't Make Up

 From HuffPost:

The residents of Lawndale, California are causing a stink over the town's plants. Apparently, the roads are lined with garlic--which either smells like skunk or marijuana depending on who you talk to. KTLA did a report on the dispute and spoke with Councilman Jim Ramsey who argued against the removal of the plants:

"The only reason we had garlic put in was so we could keep the vampires out of town. And since we have had garlic I haven't seen one single solitary vampire in town."

Heeeeeee! I was thinking 'vampires!' as soon as I started to read that.

Come the Vampire!Apocalypse, the residents of Lawndale will be glad for their stinky plants. :-)

Hee!

They should have planted Society Garlic not -- y'know -- actual garlic!

LOL! And could Lawndale perhaps be next to...Sunnydale?

Hee!

Except that he hasn't seen vampires. >:)

Because the garlic's doing its job and forcing all the vamps to hang out in Sunnydale.

But do they recognize them by their avoiding daylight... or sparkling in it?

The real question is how many vampires did he see before they planted the garlic. XD

Heh. SoCal elected officials are so jocular. This diverts us from the realization that 1) they are a bunch of crooks and 2) basically they do nothing.

And garlic smells like garlic. I've been to Gilroy and I know.

They must have heard about Sunnydale! Or that town that Lost Boys was set in.
