Maybe the motorcyle guy will hit the dogs.
Oh, no!!! I don't want that! He's just a little dog, so he would get hurt and the motorcycle guy would just feel a little thump... Maybe the dog could poop on his motorcycle. I think my neighbors and your neighbors are related, slac vap. I just recently complained about another neighbor who lets his dog poop all over the place. The thing is, he escorts the dog to other people's yards, and then pretends he doesn't see the huge steaming pile of turd when they walk away. cbl Hmmm...wonder if the Japanse have come up with a fancy toilet solution for that? |

I didn't think people still used waterbeds! So are you sleeping on the floor? |

What's making you crazy this time of the year?
cbl
I bought a house at the end of February - it is perfect, I am in love with it. Except for one thing: the former owner's telephone service still hasn't been cancelled, so I can't get mine started. Now, you might think that this means I could just make calls on his bill, but no such luck: his account has been *partly* cancelled, so that it's not possible to make outgoing calls, but not cancelled enough so that I can start my service. I have spent huge amounts of time trying to deal with this. You might wonder how such a thing is possible - why can't the phone company just work it out. Well, you see, thanks to the wisdom of New Labour, we in the UK now have multiple telephone companies, creating competition which of course is all for the benefit of the consumer. Somehow, ostensibly, in theory, etc etc. Since my account is with a different company, my company can't get on the line until his company gets off it. I'm in a telephone black hole. And it's making me crazy. |

So, the neighbor guy who once backed his truck over his own mailbox has acquired himself a motorcycle. A loud motorcycle. A very loud, put-putting, grumble-and-roaring motorcycle.
That he apparently can only start up and leave idling in his driveway. The only place it drives is me--bonkers.
Now, in the larger scheme of things, this is not a big deal. What with VT and the War and the Supreme clown Court ruling and all. But still.
The least the guy could do is offer me a ride.

cbl, would you actually get on the thing if he offered you a ride? I know he seems a bit nuts, but it strikes me that he might be kind of interesting if you spent an evening with him getting stoned together. I'm so bored sometimes by knowing only middle class academic type people. |

You never know when the Large Intrusive Sibling is monitoring. Are ye across the muddy puddle or here on the barbarous continent? If ye be there (or near to parts near to there) --I understand things to be quite civilized in many regards and locales. Here we legislate morality arbitrarily. I assume you get my drift, continental though it may be. |

Grupt, I'm sorry that I can't help you. I never inhaled. But my neighbor does regularly, so all you need to do is locate the house with the bent over mailbox, a big blue truck in the driveway, lots of dog s***, and an older Harley Davidson, and you'll find him!

Sorry to hear this, CBL. We normal motorcyclists have a hard time with the Harley crowd. Much noise, much posing, bad unimaginative clothes.
At least they're expressing their individuality. Ahem.

Actually, there are a couple of profs here who are a part of the Harley crowd. One looks like an HA, the other like retired military. They cruise together.

I didn't think people still used waterbeds! So are you sleeping on the floor? Waterbed? How about the van with Gandalf painted on the side? |
