I feel ridiculous writing this, but I need to know the truth.
On the front of our home, we have one of those large, tin stars. It is rust-colored. You know the type - they sell them everywhere. About three feet across and lightweight.
Now, about three months ago, my next-door-neighbor told me that the stars are a 'secret sign' that meant, get this, 'Swingers Live Here'. Hubbawha??? He said it is the 'sign' and that it is widely known in Hidden Valley.
I dismissed it as a joke.
Then, the other day, he said that he heard a discussion on the radio about the swinger-star-symbol.
So I am asking you, you honest people: Is this the truth? Have you heard this about the star or is he just pulling my leg? Do I need to remove my star? Am I sending a bad message?

I asked Wiki...Here is the answer:
Question: What do stars symbolize?
Answer: Stars do not symbolise anything since they are really just balls of gas burning billions of lightyears away. If you wish to have something to relate them to the top suggetions would be either hatred or passion.
Next time that guy tries to tell you that, send him to Wikianswers for the Truth!!
:)
Thanks, Helen.
Liz Myers also said it simply was not true and that I had been, indeed, bamboozled.
Whew.
I've actually heard that they mean something entirely different than that. Doing a little research it would seem that the rumors I've heard are mostly true.
The stars can symbolize a drug reference...apparently people who show a star on their house can be claiming that they are indeed S.T.A.R. people. S.T.A.R. is an acronym for "Selling Trip And Rock".
Further research would suggest that it's not just stars on houses though...it apparently needs to be stars on "rural" houses. It's some kind of a sign that even though it's not the ghetto, you can buy some dope here. I feel so sorry for all those old people who picked up a house star at a craft show...I wonder how many of them have had someone shady stop by for a score.
On another note, I've just made up all of this information and I'm pretty sure that those stars are merely decorative...but what do I know?
I have no idea about the star. But didn't Jon say that he was attending a swingers convention in California?? I'm not judging, I'm just asking...
He DID say that! Maybe it actually is HIS little secret symbol...He's busted!
I think you should keep the star but you may want to replace your red porch lights with some normal white lights. I know the red ones were on sale but they may be sending the wrong message.
i think everyone's just blowing smoke, but lately i have been noticing them everywhere--so much so, that our whole family now has this game we play whenever we go on long drives, "count the puffy stars". puffy stars do seem to be more prevalent in rural areas, though....
