This conversation between Milo and myself has me chortling uncontrollably. I’m sure it’s not that funny to the outside reader, but I’m posting it here anyway.

BTW: To understand the last bit about paintball, you need to watch this. And trust me, it’s worth the download. Guaranteed.

MiloBloom34: her getting you will be easier because if I’m not ready to go by the time my wife gets home I’ll likely be riding on the roof.
MattHearnCSC: “riding on the roof?”
MattHearnCSC: Oh, of the car.
MiloBloom34: yes.
MattHearnCSC: I get it.
MattHearnCSC: I thought you meant that you would manifest your displeasure with our inability to fix your fence by climbing onto your house and riding it a la Slim Pickens in “Dr. Strangelove.”
MattHearnCSC: If there is any chance that that might happen, please inform me now so that I can remember to bring my camera.
MiloBloom34: my house is high.
MattHearnCSC: Contact high from the drug dealer next door?
MiloBloom34: High above the ground.
MiloBloom34: hence the reason I can’t get the satellite dish off my roof.
MattHearnCSC: Just tape a bunch of your fence timbers together until you have something long enough to swat at it until it falls off.
MattHearnCSC: heehee The mental image of you waving a 40 foot pole made of fence rails, periodically banging the [bad word] out of your gutters, is amusing the [bad word] out of me.
MiloBloom34: heheheheheh
MiloBloom34: damn
MiloBloom34: m ycd burner eats up an icredible amount of resources
MattHearnCSC: hehehehe It’s even more amusing if, in the mental image, I show up and shoot you twice with a paintball gun, causing you to scream like a girl and drop the fence-rail-pole on a neighbor’s new grill
MattHearnCSC: I’m quite seriously sitting here giggling uncontrollably
MattHearnCSC: IQSSHGU
MattHearnCSC: heeheehee
