W T F ?

It's just after ten pm and I'm settled in my favourite chair working on my latest shawl, downstairs, when all hell breaks loose. I hear loud bams, thumping on the floor above my head and what sounds like Angel tearing through the house, upstairs. My first thought was that DH had tripped over the coffee table, knocking some large, heavy items off and landed on the cat. I raced upstairs to see if anyone was hurt but DH was on his way downstairs to find out what the heck I was doing to cause such a commotion. If he didn't do it and I didn't do it, I knew it must have come from outside. Sure enough, when we opened the front door we found some little, probably teenaged #&$!* with nothing better to do had used a paintball gun on the front of our house. He'd got the livingroom window, the glass pane beside the front door and the front door. There was white paint spattered all over the front porch and little broken balls the size of large marbles all over the porch and ground. I got a bucket of soapy water and mopped up the mess. I'm sure we'll find more paint spatters on the house in the light of day. I would love to fill every orifice on his body with paintballs and pretend he's a pinata.

My choice of words was a little stronger.

Very annoying. I'd ask around. Maybe someone saw the person? A few weeks ago, in the middle of the night, some vandals slashed tires on most of our streets. We were spared; they didn't make it as far as our street. They have caused real hardship. Not all of our residents have an extra $5-800 to spend on tires.

In this neighbourhood, they see nothing. They hear nothing. They know nothing. (Think Sgt Schultz from Hogan's Heroes.) Our whole street had cars keyed a number of years ago. At least they were still drivable.

I wish you could have caught the little puke! I hate that kind of stuff!

Maybe we need to get another dog. The cat is utterly useless. The only alarm she raises is the one that lets us know her food dish is empty.

Such language! But deservedly so. Those little b***ards.

Yes, Yes. I know. I'm supposed to be Miss Priss. Well, I guess I've shattered that misconception too.

I wish that you could stuff his paint gun down his throat. I hate that
kind of thing and you were fortunate to get to it in time to wash it off.

Kids fire these guns at each other so I imagine it's pretty washable. But still.....
