Dis Country Bumkin Don't Belong In No City

[Howie]

Well I have moved into our new house Oct. 1st I have grown up in the country and have always has a lot of land to wonder on. Well my adjusting to the city has had a couple of memorable moments already. <I threw a hickory nut at a squirrel and missed. It went on to miss a car by about 6 inches. Too damn confined. <I used to go tromping in the woods. Now I have sidewalks. So No less than an hour ago I decided to walk to the Post office to get my mail, instead of driving. Well I guess your suppose to stay on the sidewalks. What I saw as a direct path to the post office, was someone yard. ooops. So the guy gets all pissy. What did I really do? To top it all of I got caught taking a leak by my neighbor, who has yet to introduce himself (hmmm, I wonder why?) Oh ya.... And I cut my other neighbors small tree downb- that I thought was mine. But he was cool about it. Damn city people are sooo uptight man.

Haha, Howie! The joys of city living! It really is a big adjustment - I know exactly what you mean. LOL @ the neighbor catching you peeing, and cutting down the other neighbor's tree!!

I couldn&#39;t help laughing at your experience though, sorry. Oh deer. Burns&#33; I forgot to mention. Ya know the squirrel thing. uuuh it was in self defense. I swear. [/b] I believe you.

You know they say you only have one first impression for a reason

[Burns]

You know they say you only have one first impression for a reason [/b] "Hey, Fred, look! It's that new weirdo that keeping throwing acorns at squirrels and peeing in the lawn!" "Yeah, Frank - he actually cut through my yard to go to the Post Office the other day! I mean, that's what SIDEWALKS are for! Jeesh!" "Yeah well, at least he didn't cut down your tree!" You know, Howie - one good thing about the neighbors thinking you're nuts is that you won't feel obligated to socialize with them all the time. Makes for a nice, quiet life. And at least they haven't caught you doing it on your deck yet... (ours have)

And at least they haven't caught you doing it on your deck yet... (ours have)[/b] Houses come with decks?

[Burns]

Houses come with decks?[/b] um, yes...?

[Kaniaz]

I clearly know nothing about houses. When I need to buy a HQ for my future kidney harvesting plans, I'll know who to call (can't do kidney harvesting without a good view/good deck, see).

Hey if they don't have a fence its fair game. Now if you jumped over the fence thats your fault. As for your neighbor, they probably didn't introduce themself because they don't want to know you. Its a sad fact that in most cities in the US neighbors never talk to each other. If your lucky they might say hi when you move in and if you happen to walk by them, otherwise you will never see them again.

The country does have many, many great things about it. You should just go live next to central park or something Only perhaps that is a bit.. out of your way..

[PenguinLord13]

And at least they haven't caught you doing it on your deck yet... (ours have) [/b] Tsk, tsk, tsk What was their reaction? Must have been embarrassing, that's why when I'm older and get a house I'm getting a fence.

And at least they haven't caught you doing it on your deck yet... (ours have) [/b] Niiiiice. Way to break-in the new property. Haha. ...did they at least have the decency to wait until you were done before bringing it up?

[/b] Um, actually, it was the Vietnam war vet that lives next to us (he kinda keeps to himself), we didn't realize he was watching until it was...over. Haha - well I hope he enjoyed himself - I guess he deserves a little excitement once and awhile.

You don't know what it was like"

Sometimes you just have to take a bow an suck it up when you get burned,..or burns. a come back at this point is too late. And I can't dig up any dirt on you burns anyway. Your toooo damn nice. And at least they haven't caught you doing it on your deck yet... (ours have)[/b] Well clearly some neighbors have it better than others. This guy may have been waking up with night tremors about howitzers and hand grenades. Now he wakes up to visions of burns bare bootee!
