DH is out.

The dog keeps growling at it and I keep hearing noises..

Ten minutes ago it fell over for no reason.

I want to put it in the garage but it has a window that leads into next doors garden and I wouldn't like to terrify their children....

Also, if I go over there I feel like it might get me.

Disclaimer: I've had a drink.

Aww, he's harmless. Give him a name, that'll make him seem a bit less spooky. Something bland like Simon or Malcolm.

Might he look a bit less bony with a t-shirt on?

boolifooli · 05/07/2017 22:09

Or maybe a cute name like Fluffy or Bubbles

She's 4... YouTube is literally her most coveted thing... it's quite the compliment.

Arf at Barry the Skeleton Grin

HelloPossums · 05/07/2017 22:11

What's his/her name?

Ooh, good idea - it'll 'humanise' him/her a bit Grin

Hmm, how about Sadie/Sharon/Susie/Samantha for a female skeleton? Steve/Seb/Shane for a male?

Struggling to think of more names beginning with 's' Blush

Do your kids have any dressing up clothes? 'YouTube' will look less scary with a tutu on.

elephantoverthehill · 05/07/2017 22:12

'YouTube' sounds like an insult as a name.

TopangaD · 05/07/2017 22:13

A prop!!! Are you serious!! It's a human being., who once walked this earth.. I dontgetthat you think it's ok to make him or her a 'prop' for your child's party..are you serious... how fucking disrespectful!

DearMrDilkington · 05/07/2017 22:13

I agree with a pp, he needs clothes on, possibly a hat too..

You may as well stick some slippers on him while your at it.

Haha I'm having a really crap week but this is the first thing that's made me laugh out loud 😂

'YouTube' sounds like an insult as a name. Grin

Wonder if it's been used before as a name for someone's DC? Or if it's one of those banned names of which we shall never speak

mummyrabbitpeppapig · 05/07/2017 22:14

I've a bone to pick with you! Make no bons about it! Do you have a skeleton key? ill be off now.....

PacificDogwod · 05/07/2017 22:14

TopangaD, there's no way on this earth that that is a real human skeleton! Do you know how difficult and expensive that would be to access?!

elephantoverthehill · 05/07/2017 22:15

I think a fez would look quite fetching on 'Youtube'.

nocoolnamesleft · 05/07/2017 22:16

Well...if it's a fake skeleton, it would be a bit bonkers to think it were haunted. In the highly unlikely event that it's a real skeleton, it was illegal to buy it (in the UK).

(Yes, the rules used to be different, but it's quite a few years since they changed)

Skala123 · 05/07/2017 22:16

TopangaD....please tell me your comment was said in jest?!!

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 05/07/2017 22:17

Calm down Topanga, it's made of resin or something. I'm sure it's never walked the earth... (until tonight..!)

No, that's perfect. I like the jaunty angle. Now, how about a board game. I'm thinking monopoly....

RebelRogue · 05/07/2017 22:19

Brilliant OP!! A bit disappointed though at his lack of authenticity though Grin

TopangaD · 05/07/2017 22:19

Fair dues .. but you would be surprised.. some donated to science in past have remained .. it's awful but true.. those designatedto science sold on.. it's not improbsble
