It’s neither a BOMB nor a MAILBOX but a 5ft garden GNOME! You’ll see it when you fold the outer thirds to join in the center of the picture at the creases. Of course this requires printing the image out before hand…Sheesh I’d say thats a ‘no brainer’ but considering the site…
I have no idea if it is or not, but if i had to guess, I would say that the dude lights a small burner in or under the mailbox to keep it hot/warm so the snow wont cover it.

The propane is just a counterweight for the mailbox so that the dolly doesnt flip over. cause I guess whoever it is is too lazy to put a real post in
I wonder if I did this to my mailbox, would the mail carrier please stop running into the mailbox? I can’t tell you how many times I have seen her do this… we no longer have a flag for outgoing mail, the door barely stays closed, and there is a huge dent in the side.
That’s what we get for allowing postal workers to talk on their cell phones while they drive! Even using a hands-free set, they are distracted.
Actually I would say this is pretty clever. We had a mailbox knocked over by a plow once, and were lucky enough that we could get it to stand up until spring when it was possible to put a new post in. Entirely possible this person had a similar plow incident and this was the best temporary fix they could come up with. Dinking around outside in sub-zero weather trying to do it “right” is a lot less appealing than coming up with a temporary fix in your garage and just wheeling it on out. Brilliant!

redneck vandal deterrent, they hit it with a bat, it explodes

If that gets hit by another plough it may be a lot more salvageable than the last one. Still, mailbox baseball now has a whole new risk element.
why would it explode??? the gas would just leak away…
1.Mail warmer for those cold walks to the mail box?
2. Credit card fraudster temp shipping mailbox and police boobie trap?
3. I always wanted a dragon.(Fire breathing mailbox)?
4. Portable self starting fireplace?
5. Hobit Rv with propane hook up…
So you’re tired of those darn kids taking a bat to your mailbox? Does the FudEx guy take it out every time he delivers from HSN? Got a mother-in-law who has one eye and depth perception problems? CARP NO MORE! With our new Oxi-Mailbox you can have a USPS code complaint mailbox that is portable, that’s right, put it out every morning when you take the dog out to do his dootie on the neighbor’s lawn,and wheel it in after your mail is delivered! (Counter-balance not included, tax and shipping extra!)

This is Hank from King of the Hill’s mailbox. PROPANE!!!
This is where the term ‘Hotmail’ comes from.

If thats what it is, then its pretty damn smart
…..I would have used electric, but thats just me

Does this meet postal code? How many chickens could you roast between mail deliveries?

Direct Mail spam filter.

Might be easier to hang from a tree limb (assuming one is overhead to use).
Plows be damned!
Kenny Rogers’ mailbox.
Makes me think of the Unabomber, although somehow in the opposite.

Not if you kludged it right it wont..
that guy hates postmen so he made that trap…
Needs a “NO JUNK MAIL OR ELSE” sign.
It is a grill.Redneck grill..
It’s not a mailbox at all. It’s a propane toaster oven!

Title is perfect.
Laughed me arse off…
I hadn’t thought of the “Spy Vs Spy” cartoons for years! But this title is very clever and a perfect use of that analogy.
Obviously for his Hotmail
“IN” box.
gives new meaning to the dead letterbox drop?
in other words: fail.
