Three months and counting

Sunday was the three month anniversary of The Fence. Some of it is being utilized, as you can see in the background, but much of it still sits idle. It makes you wonder why someone ordered so much fencing. Did they think it would be a more expansive project? Do they not know how to calculate square footage? Did they get such a great deal on the fencing they couldn't refuse? Are they fence hoarders? Did the fence company read the delivery order wrong? Is there a bigger project still on the boards that was supposed to start earlier? Are you tired of reading about the fence yet?

This is my first time hearing about the fence. I am a fence virgin. And I am so glad to have my fence cherry popped. That is a lot of pressure off my mind. As far as fence theories go maybe they are just fucked in the head and too busy whistling zippy do da out of their assholes. Sorry I just watched National Lampoon's Vacation. Praise Marty Moose.

I am loving the fence drama. I find it almost more alluring than American Idol! Yea!!! I can hardly wait for tomorrow!!!! Hardly. Wait. Book club too so decisions must be made!
(Must have been a government mandated economic or "owe" situation. The rest of my comment went to hell as I see "owe" and "woe" have the same letters.

yeah. The fence people are obviously members of the union. They don't work to erect the fence, but they still get paid $75 an hour to do nothing.

Mystery solved.

I'll put the damn thing up for $20 an hour. Whatta bargain.

Karen... after your plumbing adventure in the backyard, I don't know that I'd let you set up the fence at any price.

Keep smilin'... just bob

Maybe it's stolen fence and the the robber is still looking for a fence to fence the fence.

Practically Joe said...

Maybe the fence inside the fence are different types of fences and don't match so they have plans to erect it anyway and hold a fencing match.
Touche'

I had something to say, until I read Mr. Shife's comment. Now I have to think about what it would mean to have one's "fence cherry popped."

I suspect a white-collar-crime woman's correctional facility is going in.

Or a Denny's.

LOOK......fence virgins!

And you know, you'd never see that at Publix.

Megan said...

Hey Bob. I will be up there the weekend after Super Bowl, and I will take a picture of the fence with you or without you...

You have been warned. But I would rather you were present...
