A Kentucky family caused quite the commotion this week with their “Cousin Eddie” Christmas display, prompting a police response after a concerned neighbour called in a half-naked man standing on a lawn.⁠ ⁠ Officers were tipped off to the Shepherdsville display on Dec. 21 by a dispatcher, who described the scene as “a male standing outside. He is naked. He has a robe covering part of his body. He is exposing himself, and he has a hose between his legs,” reports The Associated Press.⁠ ⁠ In actuality it was just a mannequin in a robe, set up by two National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation superfans.⁠ ⁠ Joni Keeney told Fox affiliate WDRB that she and her husband wanted to bring some chuckles to passersby and set up the display as a tribute to Randy Quaid’s gassy, foul-mouthed character in the 1989 holiday film.⁠ ⁠ “Everybody has a ‘Cousin Eddie,’ in their family, everybody,” Keeney explained to the outlet.⁠ ⁠ Kenney said she was able to track down a mannequin and sourced out a white robe and belt, trapper’s hat, cigar and beer can.⁠ ⁠ The finishing touch was an orange hose — a callback to the scene where Cousin Eddie’s RV plumbing becomes “full” in the movie and he pumps sewage onto Clark Griswold’s property.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in the @GlobalNews bio to read more.⁠ ⁠ Images: WDRB via The Associated Press
