    I wish there were more "Need Help?" signs around that had buttons to push...I'd be pushing as soon as I crawled out of bed in the morning!

    But Mongo's Yard I don't understand. Who needs to advertise his yard? Maybe Mongo, I guess!

    Hi Lowell. Perhaps this is a warning to everyone else to avoid Mongo. I assume the reference comes from Blazing Saddles.

    I'm pressing the help button to figure out who or what Mongo is. ;-)

      Hi Lindy, there is no telling just what Mongo is. Some say it is an alien, but I don't know about that.

    Mongo's gate is great.

      Blazing Saddles was released in 1974, and Alex Karras played the small part of Mongo, a thuggish type who only had one line. "Don't know...Mongo only pawn in game of life." This was a Mel Brooks western parody starring Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, and Madalyn Kahn.

    I wonder if Mongo is friendly?

    well, I remember Blazing Saddles, but not this reference specifically.
    it is nice that mongo has a satellite dish in his yard.

      We can only imagine that Mongo has retired from being the town bully, and is now spending his time watching TV using this satellite dish.
