BCClone decides to try Ancestry.com. He gets a leaf, then another leaf, then holy crow, he's related to some Italian dude named Niccolo.

BC says - look everyone, this is my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Machiavelli...

The jokes on RTTVIII are even smarter than in VII.

Can we still do euphemism jokes, or will all jokes going forward involve formulas and reading assignments?

Dude is excessively anal retentive. He walks, runs, or drives around on weekends. He makes note of any lawns that he feels is too long. He then turns in addresses to the town police. A former police chief said he had one officer busy every Monday with a ruler measuring lawns (he was on city council at the time) and nothing else got done.

If the kids play in the lawn over the weekend, he will water and mow his lawn so the lines are in his lawn. His biggest fear is that a fence goes in. I own two of the three sides of his property. We have some landscaping done every year, I call in one call to just double check digging. I get the board of variations and permits guy at my door days after the flags show up.

Oh, so you're the guy who let's his kids play in my lawn. You need to do a better job of keeping your lawn mowed, too.
 
Came home early to mow lawn. Numbnuts neighbor mowing his lawn. He mowed Friday. WTF is his issue. Think I will scalp my lawn that he likes to mow.

He mows twice, once for length the other to put straight lines in his lawn. He mows about 6-7 foot onto my property to make his lot look bigger since it's tiny. So if I scalp the first pass (won't kill it) it will mess his lines up and he will spend the next 48 hours trying to figure out how to "fix" his problem.
Our house is in a row of 6 houses with no fences. Among 5 of the houses there are 13 kids including 10 boys. Last fall, one of the neighbors (2 houses down) with no small children and too perfect of a yard decided to crack down on various balls going into their yard. No ball ever got within 30 feet of his rear door after this but a few did trickle into the back corner of his yard. He eventually called the police about this clearly important violation. The neighbor between our house and his decided not to mow 2 strips of grass next to the property line. The neighbor soon moved.

A pastor's family with 3 really loud, mischievous children and a baby moved in. They fit in much better.

I like a nice looking lawn, but my favorite spot in my lawn is the bare spot under the tree where my daughter dragged her feet while swinging. Some people need perspective.

THIS is why we bought an acreage. :)
 
You may be right. If I'm not alive by Thursday, jcyclonee has called dibs on the aforementioned.

Yes! Please be fatal, please be fatal.
Using GTO's logic, maybe you should consult WebMD.

This would be the same guy I'd be having a little talk with about property laws and destruction of your neighbor's property.

when I got home, we had a talk. He told me that I have to allow him access to his backyard. I told him he had no clue what he's talking about. He didn't buy the property from me and I didn't alter anything to hinder the use of his property. Then told him because of that statement (forgot to mention that he was driving through our lawn to access his backyard) he had access through his garage and with a wheelbarrow just along that 5 foot of property line along his house. He said he could not do everything with a wheelbarrow. I told him it sucks to be you.

Oh, so you're the guy who let's his kids play in my lawn. You need to do a better job of keeping your lawn mowed, too.


It was your own kids matting down your own grass. My kids know not to go into your lawn, I have three lots for them to mess around in. ; )

We got rid of our swing set. I can tell when the mower goes over the old sandbox area. It does make me a little sad and nostalgic when I mow over that area.

There are d-bags in every neighborhood. Sadly, it sounds like you get to live right next to one.
 
Just saw the UPS truck turn around in the cul-de-sac behind me. Two people in it. It was a woman driving so maybe there's going to be a new driver in my area. Looks like I will have to order more things.
