My asshat neighbor just put up a flagpole |
|
I assume he's an asshat because he's got tons of toys — two ATVs, one of those huge RVs that looks like a giant loaf of bread, a Dodge dualie pickup to haul his boat. (He's got a separate garage for the boat and RV that's the size of many houses.)
I noticed the flagpole today — 20 feet high, with a flag about six feet wide on it.
In the rain.
:grr:

Although I feel guilty - 'cause my hubby does have a truck, but we don't drive it far. We do have a trailer for camping, but it's at a campground we use, and we don't drive it far.
I plan to get a hybrid by the end of the year (but we both work out of the house, so we are really not driving very much).
But - no flagpole!
I would hate to have that next door to me.

3. When I saw the title, the song 'Flagpole Sitter' popped into my head. |
|
I had visions, I was in them I was looking into the mirror To see a little bit clearer Rottenness and evil in me
Fingertips have memories Mine can't forget the curves of your body And when I feel a bit naughty I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes (but no one ever does)
I'm not sick but I'm not well And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
Been around the world and found That only stupid people are breeding The cretins cloning and feeding And I don't even own a tv
Put me in the hospital for nerves And then they had to commit me You told them all I was crazy They cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, Goddamn you
I'm not sick but I'm not well And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell I'm not sick but I'm not well And it's a sin to live so well
I wanna publish zines And rage against machines I wanna pierce my tongue It doesn't hurt, it feels fine The trivial sublime I'd like to turn off time And kill my mind You kill my mind
Paranoia! Paranoia! Everybody's coming to get me Just say you never met me I'm going underground with the moles Hear the voices in my head I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring But if you're bored then you're boring The agony and the irony, they' re killing me
I'm not sick but I'm not well And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell I'm not sick but I'm not well And it's a sin to live so well

Anonymous might be safer. :)

5. C'mon - it's time to be creative. |
|
In the middle of the night, sneak over there and hang some kind of undergarment on the pole. Or turn the flag upside-down. Or perch on top of the poll, saying you won't come down until * is out of office.
You could have a lot o' fun with this, ya know. ;)

Tie as many of his bumpers to the pole as you can and then, next time he tries to drive one of his monsters...
Put up a big sign that says "Wishful thinking" or "Overcompensation Complex"
Let your Evil side out...play with it...something different every night for a week...
Then check with the zoning people...there are rules about things like that, y'know.

7. Or ask him if he's opening a Perkins restaurant. |
|
You know - they're the ones with the GIANT flags flying overhead. Damned things are noisy, too.
Or ask him if that thing fits up his ass. :rofl:

That he might find out if he doesn't *ahem* rectify the situation.
