People who drive with dogs on their lap should be fucked to death by Sting.

Shadow warrior was a great game, AND hilarious. The kamikaze sapper was brilliant.

You probably understand exactly how pissed off I was when it wouldn't run under XP. I miss that game.

Worst/greatest pickup line ever.

"Nice shoes.....wanna fuck?"

I know someone that used that, he did not get laid that night.

freshnesschronic · 04-23-2007, 12:38 AM

Did he get a compensatory flash instead?

piercehawkeye45 · 04-23-2007, 12:38 AM

Nope, nothing.

He is kind of a tool anyways so I didn't really feel bad for him.

I HATE MY JOB. MY OTHERWISE WONDERFUL BOSS HAS BECOME A MICRO-MANAGING PAIN IN MY ASS. THE BOARD SHOT DOWN OUR REQUEST FOR ANOTHER STAFF PERSON, WHICH WE ASKED FOR BECAUSE OUR WORKLOADS HAVE INCREASED AT LEAST 4 FOLD SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE (5 years.)

SNARL, GRUMP, SNAP...

Got a call from my wife a few minutes ago. She had been able to secure some ammonia from the grocery store, and has doused two rags thoroughly with the foul stuff and shoved them into the base of our chimney where the furnace hooks into it. Hopefully that will drive our resident raccoon away. She's also called a chimney sweep to install a chimney cap later in the week. If the raccoon isn't gone by then, the chimney $weep can remove it for a $mall fee.

Moral of the story? You may be able to get away without a chimney cap for many many years, but eventually the lack of a cap will be a bigger problem than if you had just put one on in the first place.

I know you were all wondering how this turned out, and were worried for me.

Well, as it turns out, there was a break long enough in the showers that the roof dried off this afternoon, and the chimney sweep was willing to climb up there at the appointed time. The raccoon was no longer in the chimney. It had been driven away by the liberal application of ammonia soaked rags by us. The chimney sweep inspected the chimney and found no bedding materials brought in by the raccoon. He capped the chimney, wrote up an estimate to have some minor mortar repair done, and charged us a measly $113 dollars for the whole deal. I feel like we won the lottery. I was thinking we would have to pay a lot more, since everything is always outrageous around here.

glatt is one happy dude.

Call me I'll come over and charge you twice that if it would make you feel better.

How big is your chimney's opening? Mine is like, two little cylinders less than a foot radius. A racoon got in there? Dangggg.

I didn't measure it, but it looks about 8 inches square from the ground.
