My husband Rico (Rico Suave, Super Genius, Great Hunter Extraordinaire) has outdid himself yet again.

While I was in the depths of illness and pestilence, he decided to tackle his latest invention.

You see, living out here in the country has it’s perks. Wide open spaces, letting the kids run half necked around the yard, going to the mailbox in your skivvies.

But it does have it’s drawbacks….driving 11 miles to the grocery, waiting 20 minutes for emergency medical attention, and varmints getting in your garbage.

Many a morning have I awoke to hear Rico swearing like Ralphie’s dad on A Christmas Story because varmints have strewn garbage all over our back yard and he knew this SFM wasn’t gonna pick it up.

 Rico, being a former member of the National Problem Solving Team, saw a problem he knew he could solve…and VIOLA!!!

Introducing, The Rico Suave Trashinator 2000.

and…

This can be yours for the unbelievable one day low price of $399.95 (plus shipping and handling).

Jealous? Wait ’til I paint it to look like Spongebob. We’ll be all the rave out here in Hooterville.

    Way to go, Rico! Pure genius.
    Can’t wait to see the paint job that SFM puts on it.

    Hey now…I don’t think this looks too bad. At least it looks square. If Secret Agent Man made us one it would end up looking more like Patrick.

    I am so impressed!
    He did a great job :)

    That would have taken my hubby a year or 2, and would have exploded once trash was inserted.

    Great Job!

    This is so practical… we never live anywhere long enough to get to have custom-made practical stuff and they really are luxury goods. I’m serious! One of these days we’ll retire somewhere and I’ll have recycle bins, Christmas light hooks, custom shelving, a clothes rack in the laundry room, etc.

    and yes.. that is so very Sponge Bob.

    OMG that is genius! I, too, have a bit of a garbage vermin problem (effing cats!), so I am beyond intrigued by this concept!

    The Deer Hunter needs one for Deer Camp-its skunks that spread the trash out there. Rico may be on to something-at least in the redneck section.

    You know, he should send that into Looney Tunes and see if Wil E Coyote needs it for his show.

    P.S. I hope you are all better soon.

    I think it looks pretty good!

    and if it works? even better! :)

    By the flaming seat of Robert E. Lee’s trousers! She used “varmints” correctly in a sentence. I don’t know whether to fall over from shock or give you a medal.

    This is by far the neatest contraption of its kind that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few over in the far eastern part of the state. EVERYBODY has something rigged up to keep the critters out of the trash.

    Dearest MT,
    I did occasionally pay attention in school…especially the day we talked about varmints.
    Didn’t you take Mrs. Bloyd history class and study the history of Kentucky varmints?

  • AiredaleGirl

    My primary study of Kentucky varmints occurred on the family farm in Hardinsburg…especially the day I had to explain the cleaned, dressed groundhogs lying in the deep freezer to my city-bred aunt-by-marriage. They really don’t know what they’re missing, gastronomically, in Louisville.

    Great imagination!!
