Nevermind, y'all. I thought this might wring some funny anecdotes out of some funny people, and we could all fall down laughing together, but maybe there's nothing funny about madness. And heaven forbid, but I would hate to think I planted the idea in someone's head that it would be funny to go around from thread to thread rating people's posts. I liked the story about calling up the neighbor in the middle of the night and barking in protest, though - I'm sure if I tried it I'd be laughing my head off after a few minutes. I'm tempted to try it out randomly - just call a total stranger and start barking at him.

Amos, I'm surprised at you. Maybe that rumor about you being the one to hire someone to put a dead cat in jOhn's dustbin was true after all.

I knew someone who was obsessed with the number of the posts he could put in a thread; regrdless of the content, subject and flow of discussion he would leap in and insert enough posts to raise the number to 100 and then post a thank you and run off to the next thread. It was really silly, irritating, and according to one person I knew, juvenile....but whatever floats your boat, regardless of how it impacts others, right? Maybe not really barking, but at least Whimpering Mad, I'd say.

We had a neighbour years ago whose dog barked all night and kept us awake. Repeated requests to take the dog indoors had done no good. Finally, wide awake at 3:30 one morning, my husband phoned the neighbour, and barked, harshly and repeatedly, into the phone.

He then had a coughing fit, and the neighbour didn't take the dog indoors anyway, but he was barking mad, I guess.

Dave used the wonderful expression "barking mad" in a recent post, and it got me to thinking. So here is a thread for sharing your experiences with people who are barking mad - what they did, who they did it to, why they did it, value on the funny scale from 1 (uh, that's a little freaky) to 7 (had to go change my underwear).

I give Dave's story about the guy who bricked up his neighbor's front door with bricks and mortar about a 4 or a 5. Sixes and sevens will be hard to come by. (See thread about people putting things in other people's g's)


(I only have one request - no one from Mudcat may be implicated. If you have to tell a story about a Mudcatter, use a different name with an asterisk and a footnote at the bottom saying "not their real name".)
