Foo - My neighbor called me out, what should I do?

He sent his ugly 15 year old boy to tell my adorable 14 year old daughter that their Christmas lights smoke our house. Should I congratulate him on a fine looking display or should I hit Big Lots and Lowe's, take a day off from work and send the generators at Hoover Dam into hyper-drive? I've been called out, its a testosterone thing, dang it.

who cares about christmas lights?

Set his house on fire and then tell him "Yep I guess your lights smoke my house" :)

Gift wrap a box of "snug-fit" condoms and leave them on his doorstep, with a circle of lights around them.

An errant Lawn Dart toss can wreak havoc on electrical wiring.

Wait, your neighbour sent their inbred kid over to tell you their xmas lights pwn your xmas lights? WTF?

Are you and your neighbour friends? We have a fun competition in our neighbourhood where we all try to outdo each other. If you are friends, then sure, put up some extra lights and have fun with it. If you're not, then maybe ignore the challenge if you can.

Sorry Luddite, but I don't understand where you get "inbred" from. Daspydyr said the boy was "ugly".

The only viable solution is to napalm their house.

Well, have you seen the boy's yearbook photo?

huh, are you certain this is the boy Daspydyr is talking about because I've seen this photo elsewhere and I'm certain it
wasn't in relation to Daspydyr's neighbour.

Ditto!!!.....That is awesome! :)

Its on, we have been competing at everything for years. Its a blast. Me vs Barry! BBQing, Halloween, Super Bowl parties! When we golf people blush and let us go our own way. The really fun part is more and more neighbors are into it. And yes Clark Griswald is inspiring. We close Thanksgiving weekend watching "Christmas Vacation." And of course, my kids are smarter and better looking than his tribe!

I was actually being lazy in not getting a decent amount of decorating done. We travelled for Thanksgiving. I deserved being called out.

Yep. Lawn chair. 12 pack of beer. BB gun. Hours of fun.

Your penance should be say something like 3 times the amount of normal decorations.
Except for the fact that I never decorate. Ah well. Hypocrisy is the Amercan way

Well if you're gonna be all mature about it...:rolleyes:

Hours of fun you need a 30 pack!

We actaully ran our dogs through their yard hoping they would pee on the wiring and short everything out. We have a beagle that kills everything when he goes on a "territory" tour.

Blow the transformer for your block. Oh wait....

Hmm, I usually save it for the pigeons, but heeeyyyyyyyy!

Holy ****...he said the kid is ugly, so I made a joke that he's inbred. :rolleyes:

On ignore ya go, pacifist hippie chick. Adios.

2 dozen half sticks of dynamite would be more amusing. btw

Everyone around here has music to go with their lights...I cant stand it.

:D

Those have been hard to come by lately. But they are blasting up around the hill, I bet there's a locked cabinet or shed somewhere......

Its one of those community boxes, I would piss off a lot of people. And the way Barry likes to get one up, I'd have to hide the Dodge or my golf bag would get bag napped.

I think I'd put up atheist lights, or pagan lights.

How can you tell the difference? Maybe some winter solstice Wiccan lights?

Just spray paint "HUMBUG" in day glo orange on his car.

I work for a power company so I may be a little bias on this. I think everyone should go all out. We keep it fun and simple in my neighborhood. I use to love going to Little Rock every year to the Osborne house, but it was shut down due to traffic problems. Pilots over Memphis,TN could see his house on a clear night. I think he was over 2 million lights when they shut him down. He bought the houses on either side of him just to decorate. He employed around 100 people 6 months just to put up and take down the light display.

I'm surprised he didn't put his own mini-nuke reactor on site to power all that stuff.

He's a Jr High Principal, he'd never think I did it.

It's a character from the famous "dueling banjos" scene in the movie Deliverance.

He is a what? And he sent his kid over to tell your kid your house sucks??? I hope you daughter does not go to the same school he works at...just saying.

Hours of fun you need a 30 pack!

Go whole hog - tap a keg, invite some friends, and make it a competition.

I am ready!!! Lets do it!

Why don't you put a sign in your yard that reads:

I refuse to put up energy hogging Christmas lights because I care about our planet...unlike my neighbor on 111 Walawala St. .

If the neighbor has mostly LED stuff up, though, it uses a fraction of what conventional lights use.
