I just met another of my neighbors.
I was outside doing yard work and had my mp3 player on, so I didn't initially notice that a guy had pulled into the alley and was trying to talk to my from his car. He told me my yard looks beautiful and that he lives two doors down from me and "can't compete" with my landscaping. Now I like him.
:rofl:

He also told me that I seem like an "interesting person."

What the hell does that mean?! I think it is code for "pleasant weirdo."
He probably saw me throw the weed whip. I bet five bucks he saw that.

:rofl:

2. Maybe he's just nice!
Or maybe I'm really interesting. Come on- I do interesting things! I was going to fill our tent completely with balloons and throw the kids in there, but in rained so we had to take the tent down.
Stupid rain.

8. Nice my...
I'll bet if you were to get a babysitter, go over there and say, "I think you're interesting too. I've got two hours and we can do anything you want"

I guarantee, more than I can guarantee the sun rising tomorrow that he ain't going to say, "Oh great! You grab the weed-eater, I'll grab the mulch and let's get started on the front yard"
:rofl:

12. What?! What accent?
I didn't note that you had an accent, so you must sound like me, and by extension I must not have an accent.

:P

3. A tent full of balloons is interesting!
Something to do, when not tossing weed whips.

One of my neighbors is reliving his childhood and has his car wired up with loud percussion, stoopid guy.

7. I get that too when I meet people
I interpret it as, "you seem like you can hold a conversation but... I'm scared shitless because you're 6'4" and have 24 tattoo's."

10. It depends on how you threw the weed whip whether it was interesting or not...
Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 12:14 PM by kmla
Did you throw it in a "javelin thrower at the Olympic trials" fashion, or was it simply a "begone with thee!" double handed push away type of cast?

One type of cast says that person is a 'pleasant weirdo'. The other cast says "stay out of my yard or you'll get 'The Stink Eye', bub!"

:D

11. Oh, it was totally javelin- style.
I threw it across the yard and yelled, "stupid piece of shit!"
