I'm a fan

real glad i didn't go for that 4th slice.

get to drive my sister's 4-month-old boxer to and from her friend's house before and after work tomorrow. should make for a really interesting car ride

piss detail

hmmmm the ryan braun plot thickens

i live in a 200+ year old farmhouse. It has original, custom shutter hardware. Some windows are missing some stuff- notably the holdbacks, which are sort of like "hook and staple" type, but not really.

I've also noticed another house identical to ours about 5 miles away. Well, not totally identical- they probably were at one time, though, and changes through the years have made them different. I also saw another one somewhere, but can't remember where.

Anyhow, the one I do know of (I call it our "twin" house) has the identical shutter hardware. I've been searching low and high, and can't find anything like it in the world. Would it be creepy of me to send that house a letter asking if they would sell me some of their shutter hardware? I wouldn't do it except for the observation that the house doesn't really seem to be well maintained these days, and I'm guessing they may not really care. Also, it would be cool to go through the house to check it out (I'd offer the same in return).

And what should I offer to pay for this shutter hardware? I can't break the bank.

So- creepy, or not creepy??

Do it. The worst that can happen is they don't respond.

It would probably be less creepy if they knew a little bit about you. I would include a nude photo.

With your hardware.

Shutter dogs is a cool term.

sounds like Bucky's stuck on some sort of shutter island

a shutter to think about, you might say

has your wife been bothering you about this? if you figure it out, that might shutter up

this must be driving you crazy. it's shutter insanity

Jesus, Barry.

I shutter to think about a wogglymaster-less world

the breakfast pizza I made yesterday was without a doubt the best thing I've ever done in my life.

certainly not better than your accomplishments with MS paint
