Can I complain about my neighbour’s children who seem to think that all playing in the back yard must be accompanied by top-of-your-lungs shrieking, or are we still arguing about who’s the biggest elitist (or some other crap - I really wasn’t following the whole folderol)?
The tiff in this thread reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
" I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’
"-Bob Newhart
Now that’s a blessing I could count…
I’m sorry. Really…pretty much sorta. (Homer: “Mmmmm…little pre-pubescent popslut wannabes…”)
Where was I? Ah, yes…
I’ve got a lawn mower next door. Not just “lawn mower” the machine, but “lawn mower” the neighbor who seems to have NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN MOW THE GODDAMNED LAWN EVERY FUCKING DAY ABOUT 20 TIMES.
He likes to mow the lawn in three-minute installments. I, too, work at night (and thus have to sleep during the day). So I get to sleep to:
VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)! Then, VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)! Then, VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)! Then, VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)! Then, VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)! Then, VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)! Then, VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)! Then, VROOM (start up the lawn mower)! Then two minutes later, CHUGGa (shut off the lawnmower)!
I counted seven times in one hour. I’ve counted 22 times in one daylight period. I’ve seen this guy mow the lawn in February!
In Iowa!
I want to buy a rifle.
I won’t, of course…but I want to.
band name?
Shyeah, I wish.
I bitched about this in a thread here several years ago: there were all kinds of “boy-bands” for a while (N’Sync, Backstreet Boys, O-Town, etc.), but no female versions of same.
I wanna see some “pre-pubescent popslut wannabe” bands. Fair is fair, after all. Adult ones don’t cut it: the Spice Girls, the Dixie Chicks…nope, sorry. Let’s level the playing field. If it’s okay for us as a society to perv on underage boys, then get some girls out there for the sake of equality. I’m reduced to watching “Barbie” commercials…metaphorically, I mean.
I’m not planning on having sex with them (so there’s no legal issues here), but C’MON! Have you seen Britney Spears’ little sister Jamie? Yowza! Avril Levigne clones (although Avril herself does it for me). SOMETHING.
I probably shouldn’t post this, should I…? I’m too tired to care anymore.
Heh! Makes me think about the people who lived in the house behind my next door neighbors a couple of years ago. They had a little boy and a trampoline in the back yard. In order to set this up, I also have to say that that house and mine both have privacy fences.
The little boy loved to jump on the trampoline. And yell. Yell loud. I’d be out in my back yard or on my porch and I’d see this head bounce above the fence going:
**
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
**
over and over and over. Cracked me up!
See, that would be somewhat amusing, not like the “legs are moving, must shriek” experience.
An age flame? Are you serious? Next you’re going to lecture us about how they used to do things back in your day, and how you had to walk to school barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways!
Why someone would want to resurrect something that’s been over for two days now is beyond me, but suit youself…
The problem is, I’m pretty sure you didn’t read the whole thread. Excalibre chose to use this little gem: “Take the halo off and have a little humility, kid”, which I thought was interesting given his age. Regardless of his (or my) age, it was clearly just a poor attempt to condescend and patronize.
I’m really not interested in starting this discussion again (in fact, I wouldn’t mind if the damn thing were closed since it got so far off-topic), but do yourself a favor and read the entire thread next time, okay?
Sorry, I’ll be sure to check the board more often so I won’t inconvenience you in the future.
