    Lightbulb Never Ending Story

    When your feeling it or just bored please feel free to add on. lets see where this goes if anywhere, pics are cool if appropriate.


    How did they know? Everything was going along like usual, a rather ordinary day. Till that knock, I had heard the footsteps coming up the stairs to the door. Those stairs, all sixteen of them were getting on and needed some repair but still, those footfalls sounded different, heavy, the old boards creaked under the weight of each step.


    Then the knock, not a banging or tapping, but more of a thud, three times, then three more, solid raps, no nonsense, that was the tip off, or at least why the nerves raced up my back and the hair on my arms stood with attention.

    Each step toward the door brought them closer but there was no escaping, that knocking almost pulled me forward on its own, till I stood there, only the inches of wood between us. Looking down at the brass lever handle, when depressed it would throw back the bolt, I reached forward, my fingers only just touching, sucked in a breath of hot air, pushed the lever down, the door swung open and there..................

    I ALWAYS use an ass-gasket. Never hover because of splash down and back splatter. I also float landing pad made from TP for a soft landing to avoid the above. One can never be too cautious when dealing with the general public. - RonP

    There was an awkward silence as we gazed at one another. The girls were average looking, but meticulously groomed. They were both brunettes, and looked like they could be sisters. Their piercing eyes and firm stance exuded a confidence that made me uncomfortable. The joy I had from setting up my new surround system receded as I wondered what they could possibly want from me.

    Were four new LSi25's on the porch. Standing next to them was Matt Polk holding a congratulations sign with a few other polkies. Turns out, Polk had a secret contest and I was the grand prize winner that included the 4 LSi's and $5k spending cash........

    I fell out of the boat which left me behind, I was rescued by two guys and a girl one of whom looked like a girl scout. Matt then asked me if I had any pictures of some guy he had heard of called Russmer, or Russmon, or Russman.................................

    the girl scouts asked me if I'd like to have my picture taken with the two girls who just TeePeed my house and wrote "Bald *******" and my garage door with yellow spray paint. I said "Sure, why not, it's only 4:30 AM, and I don't have to start cleaning the chimney until noon". The scouts looked on in amazement as I scratched myself with the 3'rd hand growing out of my right shoulder.......

    The scouts called out to the other girls that everything was OK as we made our way down the 16 steps to critique their work. I noticed they had used a quality two ply toilet paper with an interweave pattern across the branches and a good brand of spray paint on the door. Obviously, they came from good homes.

    I asked if they perhaps had the wrong house, as I removed my hat to show them my dreadlocks. They declined the offer to see that I didn’t shave around the nether region so the statement on the garage door did not apply there either.

    Gasping in amazement, they realized their error but asked for the group picture anyway. As we posed for the picture, I could feel the girls staring at my third hand. Finally, one got the nerve up to ask……

It went on to say rationing for both was inevitable, so I went back down the steps and carefully rolled up what I could for my own use, or to sell on eBay, and planted a few rows of corn.

    I returned to the house, using my third hand to scratch my head. My thoughts returned to the girls in the minivan, and the mother on the cell phone. I wondered why they donned bicycle helmets, and whom the mother was talking to. Of all the possible explanations….

    ....I could think of, the one that made the most sense was the mother acted like a ganster rap artist, and her hydraulics made the minivan bounce up and down, to and fro, causing the rogue Asswipe flinging scouts to bonk their heads into the roof. As the hopping van bounced away, I do recall hearing an unneccessary amount of bass and treble, but strangely no midrange, eminating from the van. What a stange morning it was turning out to be, and it was only 6:45. Oh well, back inside to have my fried egg yokes and prune juice, then take a bath in a tub full of maple syrup. As I'm sitting there enjoying my fried egg yokes.....

These were not ordinary foot steps, no, they were official sounding. My fried eggs would grow cold and my maple syrup bath would have to wait as I answered the door yet again to find…..

    .....that fat bastard Ed McMahon and Carrot Top holding a 4 foot long check made out to me, Richard Weed, complete with helium balloons and a TV camera crew. Mr. Top began smiling at me with those evil, over applied makeup painted eyes. This freaked me out, so I punched him square in the face. He launched into something about a collect call as he scurried away. Fat Ed then said I was the winner of the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. I said no thanks, I'm not a writer, and I have nothing to publish. Fat Ed looked a bit perplexed, and mumbled "I did not know that" as he walked away. I invited the TV camera crew inside for fried egg yokes and prune juice. They happily accepted, as they could not stand the smell of Mr. Tops carrot scented after shave any longer. Once we all made our way inside the house and were all seated in the dining room......

He launched into something about a collect call as he scurried away. Fat Ed then said I was the winner of the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. I said no thanks, I'm not a writer, and I have nothing to publish. Fat Ed looked a bit perplexed, and mumbled "I did not know that" as he walked away. I invited the TV camera crew inside for fried egg yokes and prune juice. They happily accepted, as they could not stand the smell of Mr. Tops carrot scented after shave any longer. Once we all made our way inside the house and were all seated in the dining room......
    ......we heard pounding on the door again. I opened it to find a U.S. Department of Agriculture representative with a brief case. He said I was in violation of USDA Regulation 5.34.2018.456.789.456. He reminded me of the farm subsidy money I received. Real time satellite photos had alerted them to the corn I had planted, which violated that agreement.

    Wheat, barley, oats, hay or soybeans would have been OK, but not corn. It didn’t matter to him TP was getting scarce as hens teeth and soybeans or wheat are not good replacements for cob’s. About that time, I had bigger problems starting inside with the film crew. I could hear my amp start to clip, so I had to get in there fast. So I gave the USDA rep what Mr. Top got, knocking him down the stairs. Rather than running away to call his lawyer, he just lay there in a twisted pile. I got back inside just as the camera crew was going to……

    ....start cleaning my fish tank. Oh well, I thought, one less thing to do today. The new task was to figure out what to do with the twisted pile of USDA rep laying all over my front steps. I figured I'd bound him with fruit roll-ups, and place him in the trunk of the camera crews car, then call the cops and tell them I smelled fruit and heard yelling coming from the trunk of a car parked in front of my house.

    As the camera crew cleaned my fish tank and twisted the volume knob to inappropriate levels, I set about looking for the fruit roll-ups. I couldn't remember where I'd put them, then it occured to me, I'd put the roll-ups where any sensibible person would, in the facial tissue dispenser on top of the toilet in the bathroom!! Upon entering the bathroom, I remembered that I had not taken my maple syrup bath yet. So I put on my snow suit and moon boots and got in the tub, when..........

    The minivan mom and the girl scouts pulled up, I could see them through the upstairs window, the girls took off their helmets, mom was blabbing on her cell phone and I could hear Barry Manilow belting out This Songs for You, the distortion was terrible.

    The girls saw the USDA guy, giggled and said, look their is the fat bald ******* guy we missed earlier, they pulled the TP from the trees (mother wanted it anyway) they wrapped some around USDA especially his nose which was bleeding. Together they hoisted him up and into the Hatchback of the van. I saw the hydraulics bounce with the weight of him but mom quickly gave them a spurt and the van quickly rose up and then settled. The girls jumped in donned their helmets. Mom hit the gas and off they sped. Meanwhile back down in the dining room.............

    Ms. Sally Ann was preparing dinner for her husband of 42 years. She heard the front door open and says "dinner will be ready in 10 minutes." She continued cooking dinner until she felt a presence behind her... she turned around to see a blonde man who resembled Fabio. She was immediately taken by his strong stare and fell into his arms right as Mr. Sally Ann arrived home. He quickly went for his dusty gun cabinet but Fabio greased himself up in fake butter and slid through the kitchen sink's drain.

    Mr. Sally Ann quickly went to aid Ms. Sally Ann when all of the sudden...

    ...the viagra he had taken earlier caused his heart to blow a gasket. Ms. Sally Ann dialed the non-emergency number for an ambulance and went back to the sink with a vacumn cleaner and began calling out for Fabio.

    About that time, Dick Weed walked downstairs after his maple syrup bath to find a member of the camera crew who had been cleaning the salt water fish tank dead on the floor. Dick thought damn, I should have warned him about that Yellow Tailed Croissant, one of the most poisonous fish in the world.

    Oh well, he thought as he made his way over to the body. On his way, he suddenly realized the room was awfully quiet and smelled of burnt electronics. He looked to the remaining members of the film crew and....

    ......realized they were somehow stuck in the SDA groove and couldn't get out. I heard a knock at the door. Thought it was time for the paperboy so I went over and opened the door. By instinct, expecting the paper, I was looking down as I opened the door, fully expecting the paper to be in it's normal place. To my surprise, no paper. Instead, there was Daisy Duke, doing toe-touches with her back to me. I starred at her ankles for a moment and then.....

    I saw Daisy reach really deep for a toe touch and then heard a little pop in her back, she could barely say uh-oh. She whispered for me to come around front, said she was stuck and could not stand up. She said "pull my finger" well I obliged and sure enough "CA-BLAM" she let one go so hard it pushed it forward into me. I noticed she smelled bad and was getting a bit wrinkled up.

    Anyway, she asked to use the phone, apparently the General Lee had gotten into a serious accident around the corner with a minivan full of girl scouts and some guy wrapped in TP. I said sure, we got back inside and I saw the fish guy was not dead, guess he was just temporarily paralyzed, man he was lucky. The neighbors missing squirrel monkey had gotten into the house and was full of maple syrup. He was perched on the chandiler and Miss Sally was staring up at his bald spot.

    I showed Daisy the phone she punched up 911, just then I heard a helicopter fly low over the house.........................

    and begin to hover over the house. Daisy began to yell her location into the phone because the noise of the chopper was so loud. I walked toward the window to see what was going on, snaking my way through the film crew one at a time. Finally made it to the window and walked out on the perch. The prop wash of the chopper was blowing the TP all around. I thought back to my childhood and got real sentimental. I immediately went back in the livingroom and pulled out my old albums. White Christmas was always my favorite. I stood at the window, Sinatra blasting away, watching as each minute the little pieces of TP began to cover everything in sight. Just then....
