has anybody checked the zoning? i guess there's nothing as specific as commercial zone: only-faux-hair-for-the-real-hair-challenged?

I hear from a completely unreliable source that they're mafia fronts.

Is that the young Barbara Bush behind scary beard manniquin? Add some pop it pearls as a wattle disguise, and it would be a dead ringer!

That beards got a funky Captain Ahab vibe goin on. He's all like, "From Hell's heart I stab at thee! Oh, snap! I ain't got not f***in body! Pip? Queequeg? Tashtego? Little help?"

Honestly, that's the scariest friggin thing since that animatronic cobbler in the shoe repair store window. Those things give me the heebiejeebies, staring at you with those dead eyes, grinning, hammering away. It's like something out of a Scientology screening or an Amway seminar.

Mannequin looks like a woman who touched Propecia. Don't say the ads didn't warn women not to touch, say or even think about Propecia.

Actually, I think bin laden means something the Republicans pretend doesn't exist, except when it's politically convenient. Examples: the lower 9th ward, global warming, the authority of the Supreme Court, etc.

Well, thank goodness it's a mannequin and not a lawyer. Oh wait, what if the mannequin is a lawyer? Someone tell him, we have to help him! Think of the children!

I suppose I couldn't blame him for wanting to go on a killing spree...the poor dude has two different-colored eyebrows.

Well, he's not silent to me. I've heard every word he's said. Or was it actually the skullf***ing brain parasite disguised as a toupee?

Is it just me, or does that mannequin look like he's silently plotting to kill us all?

Good to see 13th and U still keepin it ghetto. Take that, Creme hiptards! And I thought "bin Laden" meant "to disappear," as in, "When it came time to pay the bar tab, Fritz totally bin Laden-ed."
