They'll never see you leaving by the back door

I didn't do any work on the room over the weekend, but I did make an important decision.

Last week on the way to work I noticed that one of my neighbors was throwing out two milk crates. I stopped to pick them up since I always need milk crates for my homebrewing projects. One of the crates was full of coat hangers but I was running late so I just took the crate with the hangers and threw it into my Jeep.

When I got home, I threw out the old coat hangers and found a doll at the bottom of the crate. The doll has a baby's face with a mustache and is dressed in mariachi or matador clothes. The doll is missing both legs and an arm. Someone nailed small nails into the doll's head where the ears should be.

It's incredibly creepy.

Obviously I couldn't just throw out the doll because it's evil and it will hunt my down and kill me with a guitar or burrito or whatever. But while I was trying to figure out what to do with it, it occurred to me that this doll is the solution to another problem I have been trying to solve.

Before you close up the walls of a room, you should always put something cool in the walls for someone to find ages and ages hence should anyone else embark on a home improvement project. In years past, I've found newspapers from years ago, children's toys, and even an old pair of shoes. But instead of something cool, I'm leaving this evil doll behind the drywall. I wish I could see the look on the person's face who tears down a wall years from now and finds that this evil doll has been lurking in the house for years.
