Who are you and where did you come from?

So now that my camera is back in swing, I can ask, what the heck is this?

I found it when I cut back the "winter interest" (dead stalks) on the side of my house this spring. I feel like it has something to do with a kegger. Do college kids run around dropping off odd garden ornaments these days?

Odder still: someone made this. Like, came up with the sketch, got a green light, mass produced it, was like "people will totally buy this." And then, people did.
