Locate and Share Bad Neighbors in Seattle Washington Before and After You Move

Locate and Share Bad Neighbors in Seattle Washington Before and After You Move This "Rotten Neighbors" (anti)social site is a really bad idea, imho. Although it is an interesting read. Consider the case of "accordian guy". The disgruntled neighbor, Houstman, is posting this about 5 am- an hour before accordian guy starts playing. Houstman can't sleep, he sits in the dark, no noise except the clock on the wall, a distant train. Waiting for it. Finally, he snuffs out his cigarette. Time to unroll the garden hose. Anyway, who wants to take bets on how long it takes Parker Brothers to sue because of the Monopoly-house logo? Blogged with Flock

Bad jokes make me ill

A businessman was in Japan to make a presentation to the Toyota motor people. Needless to say, this was an especially important deal, and it was imperative that he make the best possible impression. On the morning of the presentation he awoke to find himself passing gas, in large volumes, with the unpleasant characteristic of sounding like "HONDA." The man was besides himself. Every few minutes "HONDA", "HONDA".... Unable to stop this aberrant behavior, and in desperate need to terminate these odious and rather embarrassing emissions, he sought a physicians aid. After a full examination, the doctor told him that there was nothing inherently wrong with him and that he would just have to wait it out. Being unwilling to accept this state of affairs he visited a second and then a third doctor all of whom told him the same thing. Finally one medic suggested that he visit a dentist. Well although he could not see how a dentist was going to be of any help, he vis...

Paulie, the rude ^$@^ parrot

Paulie, the rude ^$@# parrot It's getting to be the time of year when early birds are getting the swearing birds, Paulie (Is that the best @!$#% name they could come up with?) - Paulie is the bird of choice for having a cussing critter in your stocking on Christmas morning. And why not? We have the best price, and the singing wall fish thing just won't fit. Blogged with Flock

Time to trade those books, movies, compact discs

Folks, you should check out some of these "trade for points" websites. Get DVD's, CD's, VHS tapes, Books Etc. In exchange for ones you don't want anymore. All it costs is postage for the ones you send. My favorite one is TitleTrader.com Yesterday I got a Jimmy Dean CD specifically so I could add a certain song to my collection of novelty music... "I won't go hunting with you, Jake, (But I'll go chasin' Women)" I must say that for the most part I like those Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage patties better than his music. (Notice I phrased that very carefully)

My wife thinks she's a...

Combines bartender and psychiatrist jokes... Guy telling his bartender his troubles; "My wife thinks she's a pretzel!" Bartender sez, "Did you take her to a psychiatrist?" "Yeah... he says she's twisted." OR "My wife thinks she's a piano!" Bartender sez, "Did you take her to a psychiatrist?" "Are you kidding? Do you know how much it costs to move a piano??"

Rattlesnake Egg oval magnets

"Rattlesnake Egg" oval magnets They call them rattlesnake eggs because the noise they make when you toss them in the air supposedly sounds like a rattlesnake ready to strike. I just like to use them as artsy fridge magnets, they sure are strong magnets. Someday I am going to try to saw one in half for an interior view. Blogged with Flock

Jake the Peg lives

Rolf Harris, Ladies and Gentlemen. I rediscovered him by buying a best of CD on eBaY to get "Nicoteen and Al K. Hol" - I love every track.

OH

A man walks into a bar pulling a heavy chain. The bartender asks the man what he can get him and why the man is pulling that chain around? The man answered " HEY!! you ever tried pushing one of these things?!!"

Titletrader.com

Kind of liking this new "swap stuff via points system" site, titletrader.com - We mailed a couple items today but can't use the points we made until someone posts feedback that they got it - That's sort of a bummer, because they don't really have an incentive to do so, I like that bookmooch.com gives you a tenth of a point for posting something and a tenth for letting the system know you got something. Anyway, will post here when we know more. This is what we have up on titletrader right now:

This just in: Lunchtime decision maker

Lunchtime decision maker This may seem like a silly item but I moonlight (literally) in a factory, and even with the limited options we have, sometimes it's hard to decide; PB&J from the lunch sack? Horrible Cafeteria food? Argue about who has to go to the gate to haggle with the teriyaki guy? Or maybe raid the day shift fridge? The possibilities are mind-boggling. Blogged with Flock

This guy reads the funnies for a living.

The Comics Carmudgeon Josh must have this secret comics war room in his basement, with a huge computer to keep track of all the comic strips. (He got it at the “Superfriends” liquidation auction, along with Aquaman’s old Plymouth and some office furniture. ) Otherwise he lives in a newspaper-filled hovel, blearily searching his Curtis clippings and bickering with the wife, who holds forth at the ironing board in an old nightgown, with curlers in her hair, and chain-smoking. Maybe both.

Harry Lime drowns out dog noises

Neighbors are nice enough here but the dog next door apparently is descended from some pack of barking, whimpering critters, I don't know what evolutionary advantage it served, but he still has it. In spades. So, I turn to the free OTR Old Time Radio site, and listen to Orson Wells as Harry Lime, "The Third Man". What can I say? I like bad French accents and zither music.
