Subject: BS: P-Vine is tryin' to kill me...
From: Bobert
Date: 10 Oct 06 - 09:31 PM

Well, well, gol danged well...

I thought I was doin' okay in the husband stuff but here recently seems that every time I look around there somethin' that has been left fir me to trip over... Yeah, in the last month I have tripped over garden hoses, rope, wheelbarrows, shovels, pitchforks, tee-bars, vacuum cleaners, bags of recyclables, catboxes that mysteriously move around the house, rolled jup rugs that are rolled up for exactly what?, boxes of stuff, extension cords, clothes baskets, flower pots, a stack of old papers waitin' to be filed, brooms, mops, and tonight...

... an entire perfectly camo'd bag of recyled aluminum cans out in front of the back door which just about did the trick???

Yeah, what ever happened to guns, 'er poison, 'er banana peels???

This is becoming humilitin'...

I mean, just think of how the obit is going to read??? Or what my pals are gonna say at the funeral???

Awwwww, nevermind... Just someone... Anyone... Yeah, just someone who is willin' to say that when I have taken that last fall over a box full of books and have gone on to play in the Big Guy's major leagues that this ol' hillbilly was just a regular guy an' always used his turn signals...

Bobert passed away on (fill in the blank), the result of falling into a box of cat litter.

Well known in the blues world for his skill on the accordion and in the political world for his unquestioning support of the Republican Party, Bobert was born many, many, many years ago in a small log cabin he built himself. Following his graduation with honors from Ezra Taft Benson Junior High School, Bobert (as he was known) also graduated from Basic Combat Training at both Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri and Ft. Knox, Kentucky. Following these graduations he did post-graduate work at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas where he majored in "making little rocks out of big ones" and was honored as "Model Prisoner of the Year."

His long-suffering wife was released from custody when the Judge ruled, "Hell yeah it was justifiable! I'm just surprised she waited THIS long."

In lieu of flowers the family asks that both of his friends play in tune.

Just ask Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Would not take the garbage out!
She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,
Candy the yams and spice the hams,
And though her daddy would scream and shout,
She simply would not take the garbage out.
And so it piled up to the ceilings:
[snip]

And there, in the garbage she did hate,
Poor Sarah met an awful fate,
That I cannot right now relate
Because the hour is much too late.
But children, remember Sarah Stout
And always take the garbage out!

I done stole, er, writ a mournful sort of song fer Bobert's passing:

Poor Bobert's dead
Poor Bobert's dead
Both his friends are weepin' wail for miles around
The daisies in the dell
Will give out a different smell
Because poor Bobert's underneath the ground

Poor Bobert is dead
A candle lights his head
He's layin' in a coffin made of wood
And folks are feelin' sad
'Cuz they used to cuss him bad
And now they know that Ol' Bobert's gone for good

Poor Bobert's dead
A candle lights his head
He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're runnin' out a' ice.

Bobert and P-Vine Litterbox Blues

P-Vine said, "Bobert"
"I'm gonna do you in!"
Oh, P-Vine tole Bobert,
"I'm gonna do you in!"
"I'm gonna plant the cat's litter,
Right across yo' shins."

Bobert said, "P-Vine!"
"How come you talk like that?"
Bobert tole P-Vine,
"How come you talk like that?"
"How come you wanna kill me,
With a toilet for a cat?"

But P-Vine tole Bobert,
"I ain't about to 'splain!"
Oh, P-Vine tole Bobert,
"I ain't gonna 'splain!"
"You know what you done, honey.
Go on an' use yore brain!"

Well, Bobert went out then,
To haul a bag of rocks.
Bobert went out then,
He was gonna haul some rocks.
But he caught his big left boot
Across the litty's litter box.

Ole Bobert went flyin'
He landed on his head!
Ole Bobert went flyin',
He landed on his head!
P-Vine, she called the amb'lance,
"I 'fraid mah man be dead!"

Coroner looked at Bobert,
He wasn't much fer talk.
Coroner looked at Bobert,
And wasn't inclined to talk.
He wrote it on a paper form,
"Done in by a litter box."

Bobert is assumed to have passed away on (fill in the date) from a fall from his roof. The roof, which was ice-covered where his wife sprayed it with a hose just before a sudden drop in temperature, is undamaged apart from the skid marks.

A life-long supporter of George W. Bush and the neo-conservative agenda, Bobert moved to Virginia from Texas when Bush became President in the hope that he would be named to a cabinet position.

For some reason, Bobert had been living on the roof for the last (fill in the blank) days. His wife, P-Vine, told the coroner that she sprayed the water to see if the roof was leaking, heard a long and loud "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
and when she looked up, Bobert was gone.

In a related story, the North American Air Defense Command scrambled the 715th Fight Wing to intercept and shoot down an unidentified flying object in the vicinity of Luray, Virginia.

Bobert -

Immediately inventory all those things she's piling up.

If a substantial part of them are "yours" (and/or might be things she'd just want to get rid of), she's probably planning, some dark night, to have you and all your'n moved out to some quiet place where gentle soul like nurse Cr.... can keep an eye on you.

If most of them are hers, she's prob'ly gettin' organized to just disappear and be rid of ya.

Either way, sweet talkin' and lavish gifts are probably your only hope. When was the last time you got her a new washin' machine, or lawnmower, or chainsaw, or new tires for her 4-by, or some other little pretty thing?

Get with it. QUICK!

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash

You ain't gonna rock and roll no more

Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom   
      (Learn about allergies and dust!)
Get all that garbage out of sight   
      (Learn about turning garbage into good!)
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak

It was reported in today's "Luray Times and Fishwrap" that bits of what appear to have been Bobert have been found scattered from Winchester to just a tad south of Harrisonburg.

A woman with a large butcher knife was held briefly (and enjoyably) by the Virginia State Police, but was released when she swore up and down it was justified and nobody saw her do it anyway.

The VSP are still investigating what was called "the single most terrible awful crime in the history of Virginia, except for them others" by Colonel Vince "Vince" Bubbason, Chief Cop of the Virginia State Police.

That don't mean they cain't write about Wes Ginny murders if'n they WANT to!

As is the practice in many provincial locales, I have it on good authority that all WVA "newspapers" are just "front" offices, and printing and distribution is consolidated in a few "co-op" publishing places in VA - where there is much greater accessibility to people who can read - and even a to few who can write.

It's further reported that of the few "subscribers" in WVA, 98.4% are avid and regular fisherpersons, who report needing a newspaper only for "soppin' up the mess when ya' clean 'em," hence the cited name for the most popular newspaper distributed there.

I know it's true, 'cause I read it in a VA newspaper I swiped out of a recycle bin the last time I went fishin'.

Bobert,

    Um, have you asked her nicely to please pick up the yard tools and stand them against the house when she isn't using them? I leave stuff out sometimes too and it's because I have plans on using it again in the very near future. (translation: I don't want to put it in the garage because I don't want to have to dig it out again tomorrow). For us, speaking clearly but kindly yields almost instant results. :)

She isn't trying to kill you. The good woman has a garden and back yard full of lovely toxic herbs and nuts and such she could have slipped into your salad anytime, was she inclined to your end. I bet there's Nightshade, potato leaves, wild Datura, Poison Ivy, Sumac, Amanitas, at least, within an easy stroll. You're safe as houses. >;-D

Well, first of all I'd like to report that there were no new attempts on my life today but...

...the night is young.

Secondly??? Hey, I always keep everything mowed and lookin' tidy 'cept in the veggie garden area which I haven'
t been inclined to mow around seein' as punkins have spilled outta the bed and there's where Mr. Rake was set on Friday afternoon... And what is a hard rake doin' 'round a veggie garden this time of year???

See what I mean???

Thirdly??? Yeah, okay, she could poison me with a morning glory omlette 'er nightshade stew but poisonin' ain't all that reliable unless you got the good stuff... Accordin' to thwe Wes Ginny Slide Rule she's have to get me to eat 2 pounds of morning glories at one sittin' to do me in an' I just ain't a big eater so that's out...

Fifthly??? The P-Vine has pulled somethin' in her back so I reckon that I have a few more days to live before she has 'nuff strength to set anymore traps but...

....talk about karma??? She prolly pulled her back setting up the traps that haven't worked...

Okay, I got a knot on my forehead from the rake and it's still real sore...

Still alive...

Bobert

Maybe she isn't trying to kill you at all....maybe she is just trying to knock some sense into you...or change you into a republican....which is just as bad.

Okay, Bobert. Listen up. This sort of thing once happened to me.

I was outside working around the house when I stepped on what I later figured were the tines (that's the pointy things) of the rake. It sprung upon me, and it was only by sheer good luck and my famous of Avoiding Things That Could Really, Really Hurt did it miss my forehead and simply clip off one of my ears (later sewn back on by my wife, who's a pretty good sewer).

Well, I seized the thing as it was trying to lay back down in the grass and whacked it so hard against a tree that it broke.

Good thing, too. My neighbor, a herpetologist (a guy that for some reasons studies snakes) saw it laying there and told me that it was a Great Poisonous Rakesnake. These critters lay in grass and you don't step on 'em, they jump up and whack you in the head and if you fall down they swaller you jist like a common ol' rattler swallers a mouse.

Iffen I was you, I'd thank my lucky stars that I didn't fall down. As it is, I'm sure glad my wife could git my head under the working parts of her Singer machine and sew my ear back on, even if she did use one of them fancy-shmancy stitches.

Give yourself a big hug, Bobert. If it feels good to you, go ask the P-Vine for one. Bet she'll oblige.

On the other hand, if your hug does NOT feel good to you, take heed.

That's great advice, Bobert. But don't do take it if the P-Vine is holding a butcher knife in either hand (or both).

Advice to P-Vine

Make sure you check where he has hidden the life insurrance
Make sure he has at least doubled the value
Make sure a leg of lamb is well frozen
once you have done him in put the lamb in the oven 30 min per pound at a medium should do it. then when the police come cry about the wasted dinner that should get rid of the evidence

Bobert:

My advice: sit down with the P-Vine and go over this thread and share your feelings with her.

Make sure you do this in a room with only soft objects in it.


A

Ah ha!!!

God is on my side... I just know it... Right after the rake incident, God inflicted the poor gal with a nasty back spasm and so she's been too crippled up fir the last couple 'er 4 days to set any additional traps...

Of course I feel terrible fir her but, hey...

...I'm still here, ain't I???

An' life is good...

Tonight, that is...

Hmmmm.... I think we're being set up here, folks. The poor P-Vine is the one that's actually hurtin' and where was Bobert when that happened, I wonder? But sly ol' Bobert can point to this thread when the ambulance and paramedics and then the forensics fellas arrive and say: "See? It was self defense, fer shur!"
