But not before they bring in an adorable moppet to try to bolster ratings.

I wish my neighbors were as interesting as yours. We just have a kid who rings the bell 10 times in a row because he wants to pet my roommate’s huge dog (a great pyrenees).

Seriously, one little vowel and it reads like a Penthouse letter:

When the amazing Carl looked down at their dick from mine, he blushed as well.

In my experience, people who choose to live in the sticks tend to have some interesting features. I think that a lot of it is because we don’t want to live so close to our neighbors that we have to interact with them if we don’t have to. (Shudders at the memory of the times I had to live in apartments.)

I’m quite sure that there are people who tell stories about me. "HOLY COW!!! That bikergrrl up the hill that I told you about, yeah, the one who has all those noisy guys over all the time. Well, Joseph and I were out on our deck, having some private time, when she piled boxes up on her deck, climbed up on them and used a borrowed pair of binoculars to look over our privacy fence…

You reminded me of that old joke about the old lady who called the police on her nudist neighbours. “If I stand on this chair and lean waaaaay out of my window, I can see them naked in their apartment!” 😃

For that matter, change one letter in this post and you’ve got a pretty good start on a (possibly disturbing) Penthouse letter:

Most amusing!  
IMO though, you should have also mentioned that you didn’t mind the view. Being new in town, they may not realize that you are so laid back/progressive as to call a male-male couple “traditional” and assume that you are too polite to tell them you were offended and/or one step away from calling the cops.

Thank you **TR3driver** I’m not sure that I’m progressive or anything. I will take that as the compliment that you intended and will think it over while tossing boxes around.

They already know who my CNL is, so they know who will scream/call the police/have a heart attack and in the middle of very dramatic clutching heart will forget what she is doing to take a long drink of her beer and then start screaming again.

If they already get that neighborhood stuff, they know that I don’t care.

Wanders off, wonders off thinking about starting a thread asking about other people considers is a traditional couple.

I’m a bitch of a “minister” or whatever. I actually got paid a number of times some good bills to “do” others.

As that other guy said, let’s turn it into _my_ show, because I clearly have so many interesting insights highlighted by mod.

As to OP – eh, who cares. So, you see some dick over your fence. Maybe they have some good weed/meth/PCP?

Jaledin, you need to dial back your nasty tone. Any more of this and you’ll be getting official warnings, which put your posting privlegdes at risk.

How could it be a typo, the “l” is no where near the"e"?

I’m glad that you brought thread up again. Confesses to posting while chemically enabled.

Today I was leading my friends to my house when I saw the gay couple in their yard focusing a telescope on us. We almost crashed because we were laughing so hard. Do you guys know how embarrassing that a biker pile up at 25 mph would be?

After we got settled, a few of the guys shouted at the butt rangers and mooned them. The guys came up to drink beer with us.

I think they won’t use ther amazing vison on my friends again…they got mooned by a guy with grey hair.

Yes, you are right… “Who the Hell Carls?” couldn’t possibly be a typo since those are only allowed for keys right next to each other. It was clearly an attempt to do… or imply… or something… but it couldn’t have been a typo.

(have you ever seen what these fancy auto correct programs do to messages?)

Actually, depending on how you touch type, it could just be a matter of using the wrong hand. Typos happen, even across a keyboard. Plus, typos+autocorrect and you get some weird word replacements.

Maybe she was typing _‘one handed’_? 😉  
Sorry flatlined, I just couldn’t resist! 😛
