Reminds me of the Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to Do in the Army

Had to look that up.  I can relate.
Skippy’s List: The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army

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'm sorry, but if I can't yodel I have to move.

Oops sorry, I intended to add the link! I must have been laughing at it too hard again.

Why I will never, ever live in an HOA. I would live in my car or a cave first. I would hurt someone.

HOA = Hell’s Own ***holes

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...    

[Palouse 53]

 

DANG!!

 

Where is this??!!

 

A woman after my own heart!!!

 

 

[Cat Brules 1,477]

“Mistletoe in your tree”?

Yeah, okay!  Well, c’mon over here, you old cow!  I’ll give ya a kiss....I’ve been vaccinated so’s I won’t catch nothin’!!

 

OR,

So you’re Mizzus Ayho!?

What does that mean to you, Helen?

I’ve heard about you.

What have you heard Helen?

I’ve heard you’re a lowdown, frustrated smellfungus!!

I vaguely recall meeting her, but danged if I can recall much about her.

[Ramblin Gambler 1,054]

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.

Uh... Cat... Helen Brimstone (her SASS alias) is one of the "good guys."  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 1,477]

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.

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.

They didn't say anything about bagpipes!
