Were I rich, pissed, and reasonably well assured I wouldn't actually go to jail for it, I'd consider destroying my asshole neighbors house with a trebuchet. Or a D9.

You're thinking too small. Make it _really_ big and hurl his house into the next county.

Or use the treb to hurl the D9 onto his house.

Bombarding him with old Buicks could be fun though.

Doesn't everyone have an asshole for a neighbor?

I work with a guy (who shall remain anonymous) that had quite enough from one of his neighbors. Something about too much noise from a guitar or somesuch. A garage band situation. So one day he went over there to order him to stop it and threw the guys garage door up so hard it went off the track in the back. I guess to each other, each is an asshole neighbor.

What's a D9?

[Roy Smith]

Was the neighbor's name Joe?

[Lu Powell]

Bulldozer....Caterpillar brand, to be more specific.

I don't know. I was told the story one day at work about a year or so ago. My coworker seldom opens up about his personal life. This was one interesting thing that he related to me. I would never have thought such a quiet man would have such a confrontation.

Yep - that's about what I'm talking about.

I love the stories the old-timers tell about pancaking some guy's car because he insisted on parking in "his" spot....which was, unfortunately, very much "in the way".

yep.. I have a guy across the street and down a few houses that uses his truck for a home stereo, I think... If he's home, it's in the driveway with the windows down, blasting (c)rap music full volume through what sound like stock speakers..

I can have the radio and DC going and be on the lathe, and I hear it the minute he gets home... If he didn't have such cute kids, I'd have to arrange an accident...

[mac davis]

these are sub-atomic, then!
