Leeches I could do because they go away. Maggots stay inside of you forever and ever. I KNOW they die... on an intellectual level... FTR, if they ever need to stick maggots in me to save my life LIE TO ME FOREVER and say they did not.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Question: When you go to a friend's house and there is no room to park in their driveway, do you think to yourself, "Oh, no problem; I'll just park in their neighbor's driveway. They're not home anyway." Because, I just came home to not one but two of my neighbor's cars in my driveway. Neighbor lady then came out and said, "Do you want me to have them move them?" as I was dragging my groceries down the street and up my driveway. I refrained from say, "WTF! Of course I want you to have them move them" and just said, "yes" and refused to look at her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
sj, you should make it clear that they are never to do that again.

I think Teacup Guy's death stare as he pulled up shortly after me, pretty much made that clear. They did say they would tell their "meeting" to to park on the street from now on. Next time it happens, I'm having them towed. Right now my brain is still trying to figure out who the fuck does that.

Those are terrific statues!
Parking in my old neighborhood was insane. People would block our driveway all the time and try to say "Well, it's not a real driveway, because it's not paved all the way out to the street!" The policemen we always called were not amused--especially when they used the "not a real driveway!" when my car was parked there.

Rude fucking people who've been raised by car-driving wolves.

Too many people, it seems. Deb Grabien has that sort of trouble all the time.

Of course I want you to have them move them
OMG sj you have my old neighbors! They don't have 5 terribly unruly (read: feral!) kids do they? I remember once I went to go to the grocery store one Saturday morning about a year after they had moved in and found that half of their yard sale stuff was in our yard. AND they were having people who were stopping at the yard sale park in our driveway because "they didn't think we'd mind". Yeah, there's a reason we sold the house and live on a boat. Frankly, sometimes I think that people are so rude and self-centered that they don't even think, they just do what's most convenient for them never even thinking about anyone else. So in conclusion: your neighbors are total asshats!! And they should thank their lucky stars that you are a much nicer person than they are and you didn't just have all the cars towed (which is what I would have done)
