Buy The Happiest Days of Our Lives

  • These are the stories Wil loves to tell, because they are the closest to his heart: stories about being a huge geek, passing his geeky hobbies and values along to his own children, and vividly painting what it meant to grow up in the ’70s and come of age in the ’80s as part of the video game/D&D/BBS/Star Wars figures generation.

busy body idiots strike again (one in a continuing series)

Oh give me a fucking break.

A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.
The president of the homeowner's association, Bob Kearns, said "three or four" residents in the 200 home subdivision complained that the wreath was "divisive" (nothing divides people quite like peace, you know,) and ordered the architectural control committee to have the wreath removed. When they refused, concluding that it was "merely a seasonal symbol that didn't mean anything," Kearns fired them all.

Wow. And I thought my homeowner's association were a bunch of fascists with too much free time, when all I wanted to do was install new windows.
