The neighbor kid who threw a rock through my window last summer

[Dangerously Amused]

for no apparent reason just informed me that the brush pile in my driveway is making it difficult for him to use my basketball hoop.

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

1. Now THERE's motivation to keep the brush pile exactly where it is!

:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

2. I was thinking motivation to pour kerosene on it

and wait for him to try and play basketball... :P

[Dangerously Amused]

5. Now wouldn't it just be a shame if some fierce and rabid creatures made a nest in there?

Heh.

[Dangerously Amused]

4. I know, right?

I'm wondering how long the city will let me keep it there before it officially becomes an eyesore, or a fire hazard. :7


:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

13. You did make him pay for the window, right?

[Dangerously Amused]

14. His parents did.

I feel sorry for them, he really has a problem. And is an adult now. He lives with them, won't work, takes only a few classes at the local college - and only the classes he likes, so, not on any kind of a commencement track. They are trying to get him to join the service because of his insolence and violent outbursts.

3. You're kidding...

:eyes:


unbelievable.

[Dangerously Amused]

6. It will be even more difficult for him when I take the hoop down, lol.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

7. I'll come help

I want to see the kid's expression. ;)

:hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

9. Hah. I would, but I'm afraid he'll torch my house.

Seriously. This kid has a very bad attitude. :scared:

[Ptah]

8. Wasn't me.

[Dangerously Amused]

10. Hey there Handsome.

How's my Sunflower Daddy?

:hi:

[Ptah]

11. Sullen

Kids these days.

:cry:

[Dangerously Amused]

12. Aw, honey.

So sorry you are going through a difficult time.

:hug:

You're a good man and an excellent Dad. I hope you know that.

One of the best quotes I ever heard about child raising: "When they're little, you have to catch them before they fall. When they're big you have to let them fall, and then help them back up."

:hug:

[Skittles]

15. be sure to make that pile higher, DA

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

17. I might need you to KICK HIS ASS.

Yes indeed!

Actually, he always leaves his basketball unattended in my yard, so I'm thinking it might end up with a price tag on it at my next rummage sale. Hee hee.

[Skittles]

24. I would have kicked his ass enough over the rock incident

to where the second egregious act would not have occurred. YEE HAW!!!!

[Kutjara]

16. You could always erect an...

...archery target just under the hoop, and then decide to practice just when he's going for a lay-up. The resultant accident would be a "terrible tragedy that could not have been foreseen," to use the accepted BushCo parlance.

[Dangerously Amused]

19. Aw, dude!

I could take all the hardware off the backboard and have it just propped up on a stick, with a string long enough to reach my back window attached...

[flvegan]

18. This is why all basketball hoop owners should have guns.

Wait, what?

[Dangerously Amused]

20. I was hoping maybe I could borrow a few of your ferocious pibbles.

Damn skippy, a girl's gotta do what she must to protect her property from teenagers with bad attitudes.

[flvegan]

22. Couple slobbermongers: stat!

Hope that kid has a wetsuit...

[skooooo]

21. You are a thoughtless person!!!

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

23. I know. How rude of me not to check with him and get his "okay" first.

WHAT was I thinking?!

:rofl:

[Blue Diadem]

25. OMG, the nerve of you!

I mean..how dare you put that brush pile right there. :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

29. I did it because I hate America.

Well, not really. Just American kids.

Okay, just that kid.

:patriot:

[snooper2]

26. Why don't you lace some of the net together..

So next time he makes a shot, it's the last :rofl:




GOBAMA!

[Dangerously Amused]

30. Oooh, good idea!

I'll do it with fishing line too, so he doesn't know WTF happened - his ball will just be magically hanging there in the net! OMG, evil genius, you!

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

27. Invite him to play and then

set the brush on fire trapping his obnoxious little ass in your driveway.

:thumbsup:

[Dangerously Amused]

31. Good idea. That, or...

Hmm. I wonder if they make rat traps big enough for surly teenage boys. I could bait it with a can of beer or something. Or camouflage it with spray paint to blend into the driveway and leave it under the net for the next time he makes a lay-up.

:hi:

[tigereye]

28. does the brush pile contain poison ivy?

sorry, unkind, I know.

[Dangerously Amused]

32. No Poison Ivy, but only because I didn't think of it.

It does have plenty of thorns from the dead rose bush, tho.
