So, when the furnace guy is doing duct work on your home, and is having a hard time doing whatever it is he's supposed to be doing, and he starts swearing a blue streak... right into the duct... which makes that swearing blast out from every vent in the house... do you think he knows that?
The swearing makes me laugh... the odd grunting thing though... that kind of scares me. It's really freaking out the dogs.
Grizzled is due home early today due to the dreaded NATO-Y2K effect. I'm hoping Mr. Furnace Guy is still here... doing what he's been doing for most of the afternoon.
I'm surprised the dogs put up with furnace guy.
My dad is having the upstairs floors refinished in June, I might be dogsitting in W.V. again.
Theda would be giving them hell...

They spaz initially, but then decide sleeping on furniture is a much better activity. They'll spaz again when a really good grunt comes through the vent, or if he goes back to his van. I think because I'm not spazzing, they're not spazzing. I'm only spazzing on the inside.
GET. OUT.
:)
I decided it's Friday afternoon. I'm having a beer.

Dear. Lord. Those last grunts sounded really constipated. All I could think of was Tom Arnold in and Mike Meyers in Austin Powers... "Who does #2 work for?? You show him who's boss!"

I am trying to figure out where I can go for lunch to have a beer myself.

Who does #2 work for??
ROFL

You can come here, Kathleen! I'll make you lunch AND serve you a beer! PLUS!!! You can hear echoing swearing and grunting throughout the house!

I'll call you, thundra, and you can think I'm the fax from Colorado. :)
Perhaps you should consider a new career in dogsitting!

YL just got home and after a bit said, "Mom? What are those noises??"
I said, "He's showing #2 who's boss..."
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 03:30 PM
I want to talk to you about ducts.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | May 18, 2012 at 03:46 PM
LOL! I totally forgot that. Unfortunately, we did NOT go with Central Services. We went with "Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker & Tits"!!
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 03:49 PM
A reputable partnership.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | May 18, 2012 at 03:54 PM
Present for Jennifer!!
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | May 18, 2012 at 03:57 PM
It's been one of those weeks... I could use a present, and yet I'm hesitant to click...
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 04:00 PM
LOL!
MY BGB thanks you.
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 04:01 PM
Oh, you didn't like the crazy Russki kids climbing the bridge superstructure?
*sad*

I LAHVED it thudnra... watched it 20 million times!! Because, as you know, I LOVE heights! It only would have been better had it been a GIANT SPEEDRA doing base jumping! LOL!!!
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 05:10 PM
Speedras do base jumping, relative to their size.
They are very resourceful.

Thanks, thudnra... that was reassuring...

I have two facade inspections coming up, just got a bid for a 120 foot boom to do them. One is only six stories, so it's only about 80 feet tall; the other one is nine stories.
Wheee!
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | May 18, 2012 at 06:25 PM
I am here to help, Jennifer.
And zrm is merely keeping up the facades.
(Don't forget to tip your waitress.)

LOL @ thundra.
ZRM- I was thinking of you on the way home from dropping off lamblets. We drove past a huge lot that once had a home that was in foreclosure forEVER. I knew someone was going to grab that place, just for the lot, and do something HEINOUS. And they did. There is the ugliest faux castle/prison/craptastic thing going up. ARGH! I want enough moola so that I can inflict my subtle weirdnesses upon the world instead of those ASSHOLES with a bundle, inflicting their gagtastic taste upon us.
Oh wow! Another FAUX-FUCKING CASTLE! If you want a castle, BUILD ONE! Don't build a crappy piece of shit that costs a zillion dollars and looks like crap!
Sorry.
I need help, thundra.

on the way home from dropping off lamblets
I trust no bridges were involved.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | May 18, 2012 at 06:54 PM
No... no bridges involved, other than the ones I saw after dropping the lamblets off at their destination... the faux-fucking bridges that worked with the faux-fucking castle... merely bridges for effect.
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 07:00 PM
Neighbours have a castle? You need a TREBUCHET.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | May 18, 2012 at 07:02 PM
Tell them to stop, In The Name Of Love, Jennifer.

Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | May 18, 2012 at 07:05 PM
:). Now that thought made me laugh...
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 07:05 PM
Wait... My emoticon has a mole!
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 07:06 PM
Call the dawgs!
They'll get 'em.

Posted by: ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© | May 18, 2012 at 07:12 PM
Oops. I was laughing at the thought of a trebuchet, but thundra snuck in... And also made me laughs. Yes, stop in the name of architectural love!
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 07:20 PM
You know, I don't begrudge anyone building what they want... I just wish some of it had a little more imagination... a little more subtle surprise. The ol' drywall castle is getting old.
Posted by: Jennifer | May 18, 2012 at 07:27 PM
Here they're called monster houses. After their occupants.

Hmpf. Too bad I am no good at subtlety.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | May 20, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Have you asked the furnace guy what is he building in there?
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | May 20, 2012 at 04:35 PM

oooo, thank you. I am inextricably linked in Jennifer's mind with awful architecture.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | May 22, 2012 at 11:47 AM
Yeah, cuz we know I wasn't thinking about how much better you could have done with that lot...
Posted by: Jennifer | May 22, 2012 at 12:27 PM
Here we go.
Heck, I'm a bargain. I would only charge 25 million to design a billion dollar house you can't sleep in.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | May 22, 2012 at 01:31 PM
A bargain!
I should take a photo of the house before anyone lives in it and send you a copy. You'll see a GINORMOUS brick rectangle with some "castle stones" thrown in random places.
