There's something strange in the neighborhood...


For several years now, a house I always pass on my way downtown has at least a dozen boxes of Obama piggy banks stacked on top of each other in a pyramid prominently displayed in the living room in front of the window. I can only imagine that the person living there misjudged Obama's popularity over here in the Netherlands and is now stuck with a bunch of crap nobody wants. On Google Streetview photos from 2010 you can even see a piggy bank in the window sill of the house next door. My guess is a neighbor helping the other neighbor out.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I believe this is the Obama piggy bank in question:

To expand on your post of something strange in the neighborhood...

I think I saw a drug deal take place in front of my house today. Two cars approached each other from opposite directions. They passed each other by about a car length. One driver got out, walked to the other car, slipped that driver something, and the second driver passed something to the first driver, who then got back in his car and they both drove away.

Hey, isn't that how it goes in the movies?

reply

I'm sure the driver just dropped something and the other driver was so kind to pick it up and return it! Right???

We used to live in the same flat as a drug addict. I'm sure whenever one of his pals dropped by a drug deal took place. One of them even kicked in a window of ours because he thought it was his friend's place. This was a nice neighborhood, by the way.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

reply

Oh, of course! That's what it was!

I consider this a nice neighborhood, too. But we do have a major drug dealer on our block, across the alley in a house facing the street behind me. But hey, they're everywhere, right? At least I think the guy is still there. This character thinks he's being clever by having his customers park down the street. πŸ™„ But hey, we get the benefit of 24/7 police patrols around here.

Does anyone else see the irony in spending money on a place to store money? Wouldn't just any jar do? Not to mention Obama wasn't great with finances anyway.

No I'm not interested in buying it either.

reply

Just any jar doesn't fit with the drapes!

Tell me about it. Over the road the Pacific Islanders have taken to dumping their unwanted stuff on their front lawn. I guess they figure whitey will come and take it away for them for free. On the other side there is an African husband and wife who seem to already have four kids under the age of six. No contraception where they came from I guess.

Meanwhile the Lebanese gangster up the street has recovered from his latest gunshot wound and has taken to hooning up and down the street at all hours of the day and night again as he takes the cars he works on from his illegal back yard mechanic business for "test drives".

Sounds like a lovely neighborhood!

The never ending joys of multi-culturalism...

reply

I'm broke, with limited imagination and little initiative and little earning power, ...
yet somehow I live in a better neighborhood.
Don't complain about multi-culturalism.

reply

Multi-culturalism and globalisation are destroying Western Civilisation and you tell me not to complain about it. You are an idiot.
