Random stuff
My oldest daughter and I were dragging branches and junk to the curb in the rain,for the bi-annual city brush collection. All of the sudden, a big ford F250 pickup full of young kids comes racing down the street at a high rate of speed. My subdivision has no outlet so there is no reason for them to be using this small residential street for a race track.
I was pissed. So I sent my daughter inside and was about to confront these pricks when all of the sudden they came racing back the other way back towards me. I saw they had their windows down and were laughing and carrying on as they sped toward me.
Just as they passed I yelled "SLOW DOWN!!" Apparently my voice carried just right and flew like a sonic bullet right into the drivers side window.
It scared the driver so badly that he lost control of the truck for a second and nearly took out a street sign. They took off again and I could hear them yelling I'm ok! fuck that dude! oh shit!
I think I'm going to invest in one of those spike strips.
I think more and more I'm turning into that old man who says "get outta my yard"
Here are some funnies

Something tells me you could have fun with a bull horn...
I enjoy standing on my front porch staring down kids as they walk in front of my house. All I need now is a cane to shake at them.
Reference My SpacePic-
Isn't that Obama working in the oval office...oh wait...it's just the shape of the toilet bowl that threw me off. I gotcha now, Hammer.
Yea, we all are. When you have something and want it to stay nice, the asshats who have nothing and don't appreciate anything will get on your nerves. It's natural. I have a friend who stands on his second floor balcony and shoots out the rear lights of cars that speed past his house at night. He uses a .22, so there's very little sound. He's a good shot!
I was gonna say you need a bb gun!
Thanks for the laughs!
With fewer parents teaching their kids respect for others and their property, being the "get outta my yard" guy is the only way to be.
I yell at cars speeding down ouyr road all the time. I also yell and the people coming out of the park across the street without stopping at the stop sign.
Of course, I'M the asshole, that gets the dirty looks for daring to speak up. Fuck 'em.
OMG! LMAO @ cookie monster!!!!
We had woes while still living in town years ago with assbags speeding down our road while playing ball with the kids. One day my husband snapped and spiraled the football at the offenders. It bounced in front of their car and they ran over it with a BANG.. man oh man the rubber they laid while breaking must have cost $20 ! Needless to say it was effective!
Hammer! Glad you're back online, bro. We've been missing you over at GGDF!!!
That shit picture is gross!! BWAHAHAH!!!!
We had two teenagers living two houses down on either side, that drove like that. Luckily one is gone to college now, the other will probably stick around being an ass till he's 50. One of those real motivated go getter types.
I love the Not want and alien vs. predator one's!!!
I once pissed off some asshole who was speeding down our little road by blasting his car with the garden hose I happened to be holding at the time. He stopped and started to get out, but didn't seem to like the look of the rake I picked up while glaring at him, yelled something at me, and got back in his car.
Glad to see you are back, Hammer. I too am becoming one of those old people who wish the kids next door would turn their stereo down :) !!!
I was worreid about you when you were gone so long. Asked Flyinfox several times if he had heard from you, and were you okay. Maybe give him a phone number so we know you haven't been hit by a truck/gotten cancer/are alive, okay ? It might just be cyber-space and blog friends but that doesn't mean people don't genuinely care :)
that top one must've been an obambino voter?
p.s. - don't forget to add my new blog - oh boo moments to your links!
Same thing on my street a while back only I am on a cul de sac?? My oldest son ran out into the street and as they approached he pitched a large bag of trash onto their hood/window. By then as I approached the windows went up and they halled ass. Damn teenagers.
I hate asshole drivers of any sort.
And
You've still got it.
When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be the guy chasing the kids off of his lawn. I knew the other kids who gave those adults crap, and they were the assholes and bullies of the class who were always pushing it. I enjoy it now, since I know who in the class I'm chasing off and getting a little karma back. I just keep it moderate and use a calm voice, because the little pricks like knowing they so got your goat, and I don't let them see that. And I've trained my buds to have their little ones call me Mr. I'm not their play buddy, so don't call me by my first name.
And get off the damn lawn I just put a layer of Preen upon, you're making spots for weeds to grow.
When people speed down my street I go out and stand calmly in the middle of the road in the way. Not many people have the guts for this approach but so far ...BUUUUURMMMMPHHHHH DFFFR ASSSASASASAMMMMMPH!!!!!

i realized I was old when I once said "those teenagers"
glad you are back. I missed you
We're all turning into that old man. I looked at the neighbor's dog doing his business in my yard yesterday and seriously considered buying a BB gun.
My Dad would've thrown the brush in front of their truck. He once threw a garbage can in front of a car that regularly raced down our alley. When the punk hit the garbage can, my Dad yelled:"What if that can had been a 6 yr-old kid that stepped into the alley?" That punk drove slowly through the alley after that.
Dude, that is not old age talking, that is just common sense, which they have none.
On another note, good to see you up and around again. Almost gave up on you. Let's you and me start being realists again....
Man, I've missed you! :)
You're back!!
love the Alien vs. Predator!
I used to enjoy standing at the curb with the hose and spray nozzle. I'd blast the car with a good squirt of water, usually hitting the inside a bit (windows down with the loud music).
