Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 First thing it made me think of was the HOA in Helen Brimstone's neighborhood. She gets right steamed up when she gets a "nastygram" from 'em. And it happens frequently: There was a car parked in front of your house last night! Your mailbox leans! There's a spot on your garage door! Your grass is brown! (this one is bunk ~ city imposed water rationing) There was a car parked in your driveway at midnight! You repaired/replaced part of your fence without approval! (exact match with original) There's mistletoe in your tree! And on and on and on...

I would live in my car or a cave first. I would hurt someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Joe - I just remembered! You have met Ms Helen Brimstone! She was riding herd on a mob of Cub Scouts at a Civil War Revisited event, and we visited with you when you were on a cannon crew! Sweet lady - but she undergoes this amazing transformation when she gets an HOA Nastygram. I've actually heard her say some kinda bad words a time or two or twelve or...

Ramblin Gambler Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Well, I'd tell them to stuff it as there were no rules against having fun in the lease I signed (and I know because i actually read all that stuff and mark out the parts I don't like). Then find a new place to live when the lease was up because they'd be sure to include them next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not with the HOA ~ she's just another resident "target" of theirs. Those were just a few samples of the many "nastygrams" they've sent her.

Cat Brules Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 YES......I know “She...Helen” is Shane, speaking in conversation to Mizzus Ayhol, above, in a movie line lifted from “Shane”. Shane was conversing with Jack Wilson in the saloon, provoking Wilson into a gunfight. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NE3mHhpGV2A NOTE: copy/paste the above link into your browser.

That was my first thought too, Tyrel. I guess we couldn't play Jimmy Rodgers "Blue Yodel #9" or Eddy Arnolds "Cattle Call" loudly after 10PM or we'd break both rules #2 and #3.
