There's a little fat kid staring at me...

So I was making beer in the garage and suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I saw a kid standing at my garage door watching me through the steam that had condensed on the garage door window. Scared the hell out of me.  Little bugger just stood there in his green coat with his black hat on.  Never moved.  Then I realized that it was my large Egg that I'd parked just outside the door yesterday during the snow storm so I could smoke some bacon without spending too much time in the snow.
I wonder if I'm the first person that almost gave themselves a heart attack from mis-IDing a BGE.

    He's actually adorable. I am afraid that the heat in Salado will be face-meltingly hot for him.

    LOL, when I was a cop this kind of stuff happened on the midnight shift.  There was an appliance store that sold AC units.  They had a life sized cardboard cut out of a red headed guy in overalls in their front window, for a brand of AC.  Scared the crap out of me a couple of sleepy nights a month, when I though a burglar was in the store.  Another time I walked up to a doctor's office door to shake it, and saw someone walking toward me down a hall.    Halfway through my draw I realized it was my reflection in the glass door.  While checking the roof of a Cooks Department Store I almost sent some down range on a flock of pigeons flushed out from und an AC unit. One of our guys found a school open, while checking for burglars he heard a shotgun get racked behind him, and almost shot the door to the AC room.  There is a theme here.  AC is not your friend.

    I feel like this marks a milestone in my BGE career, an @henapple endorsement. But I'm not the mayor of Toronto, I just married a chick from there.

    Consider yourself lucky ... someone on the other forum has his signature line set up as

    after he reversed his truck into/over his egg that was parked on the driveway and forgotten, Ouch

    Which is why children and eggs should not be left unattended in driveways.

    No need to apologize :)) The signature line was a few years before I monster trucked my egg. It does fit it nicely though
