Life in the big city...

[c9]

I suppose it had to happen someday. Last night* we were robbed! Well, the shed** was robbed. Does it count as a robbery if only one thing was taken?  We lost our beloved barbeque!

We are NOT impressed, needless to say. I'm glad we didn't buy a super-expensive barbeque or something, but Jesus! We don't have money in the budget to buy TWO barbeques and TWO propane tanks!

The shed now has a padlock on it. And we have different, less grilleriffic dinner plans. Motherfuckers!



* We think it was last night, but neither of us were in the backyard yesterday, so it could have been Friday night.
** Vinny calls it a barn for some reason. New Brunswickers!

Stolen BBQ? How Trailer Park Boys. You can leave Halifax, but Halifax never leaves you.

That really sucks. :-\

It's kind of amazing that they got out of there with it with no one noticing. I mean, a barbeque is not like a book or something - it's heavy, and probably required more than one person to move it. Not to mention the noise.

But that really sucks. :-\

ouch. is it insured?

BBQ: <$150
Propane: <$40
Tools: <$20

Deductible: $500

So yes, but no.

Zach calls the shed* in the neighbour's yard a "farm". So Vinny is doing better than a two-year old.

*way to generalize, Ontarian.

Oh yeah? What do you call it when you don't attend a class that you should be attending?

(Vinny calls it jigging, so maybe it's Frederictonians?)

"Jigging" went out in junior high (middle school, now I guess). It's "skipping". Sheesh.

I don't think it's necessarily regional. Or then again, maybe I'm subconsciously translating for your benefit. Hard to say.
