Misc: Happy Thanksgiving, Scripper
A few weeks ago we went to this Halloween party put on by some friends. The party was not a ridiculous “naughty” Halloween party, but rather one geared toward kids. Except there was beer. For the party, The Scripper and his wife brought cupcakes. A lot of cupcakes. When we decided to leave, they tried to get us to take them.
There were two problems with that possibility:
- They were all in a box and there were no other boxes.
- We didn’t want them.
A turkey on a porch. Mmmmm, cupcakes.We refused, but were threatened with cupcakes on our lawn for saying no. Blah blah, whatever.
The next morning we awoke to several cupcakes on our lawn. We were later told that there were more thrown there than we discovered, so either Rico had a smooth dessert or some raccoons were treated. It’s cool, though. I don’t hold grudges.
Well, tonight, we happened upon a really nice gift. Christy brought home a turkey that was donated to us at a party she attended. More accurately, it was a turkey carcass and it came complete in a bag. As she drove home she called me with the plan. The turkey was to be placed upon the porch of The Scripper. I can swing that. So I did.
Happy Thanksgiving, Scripper.

Here’s one. We woke up to 800 plastic forks in our front lawn a few weeks ago. It was pretty funny to come home to, we’re planning an attack soon.
Ah yes, the forks. I’ve had those too, I believe, but refused to clean them up. Maybe. There is also another one called “boning.” You make paper bones and write things on them, like “Be the bone” or whatever you can come up with that’s clever. Then you leave them on someone’s lawn. I’ve never participated in things like this before, but a turkey is tough to pass on. I pictured him leaving in the morning and opening his door to find a bunch of raccoons on his porch snacking. Unfortunately, the flash on the camera alerted him to my presence and I had to leave in a hurry.

Welcome to the club, Ryan. In addition to forking and boning (which I’ve never heard of outside of our Bunko group), there is also beaning. You dump cans of baked beans on someone’s lawn. It’s much harder to clean up than a little ol’ turkey carcass.

Beaning would horrible to clean up, unless you have a lab or a pug to clean it up. Wait, beans and dogs…..that would be a joke that continues on. Hmmmm!
Those Scrippers are sneaky rascals. I’d be more concerned if I found them on my lawn in the morning, than some cupcakes. They are harder to get rid of and they keep multiplying.
