Comments on: MY EYES BURN THEY BURRRN http://www.annietown.com/2010/01/28/my-eyes-burn-they-burrrn/ Annie Choi wants to fill your brain with words. Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:21:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: VK http://www.annietown.com/2010/01/28/my-eyes-burn-they-burrrn/#comment-10343 VK Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:23:56 +0000 http://www.annietown.com/?p=448#comment-10343 Window treatments have been around for quite some time. I'm no expert, but they seem to have become quite advanced by the heyday of Venice (venetian blinds). Along with everybody else, your neighbors most likely know how to use them, so what are they really plotting in there? Is it a government-funded population control effort? Who would want to make the love after that sight/sound? Are they extending a hopeful, yet bashful invite? Are they simply trying to demonstrate their proficiencies in some ill-conceived cry for approval? Maybe some deep-seeded inadequacy issues drive them to shout it from the rooftops that they beat the odds; that they managed to trick another out of his/her clothes despite some horrible short-coming (not realizing that the rest of us simply don't care.) One thing is for certain. The issue must be confronted. History has showed us again and again that you just can't keep the kids from what feels good. Your eyes will always burn, but you must cut the cause before the burn spreads. Good luck Annie. Window treatments have been around for quite some time.

Never open the curtains again. And on the outside of your window, put up a HUGE sign that says something like... "Do what's right, be polite, my eyes have seen an awful sight. Please close your drapes, for our fire escapes, are the only things I should see from this height.... And not your sweaty naked sex. Thanks." It's educational, AND it rhymes...ish. ew. no. traumatized for life. Never open the curtains again.

Anyway, we had the same thing happen. Our Neighbor From Hell cut down the 12' high oleander hedge that grew between our houses (and bedroom windows) and demolished the 6' fence, too. (Of course, it was OUR fence and hedge and he had blatantly violated the order-of-protection we had in place, but that's another story.) We saw a LOT of things through that window. Seeing him get arrested in his bedroom for a DUI Hit-and-Run was pretty cool (those cops are so brave around blood) but the best was when he brought home the Asian mail-order bride. He was a disgusting fat pig (an understatement, to be sure, but it's what we told the judge) and she was a very pretty and tiny Chinese gal who spoke no English. From what we could ascertain from ten feet away, she had, shall we say, an indulgent and compliant attitude toward him and his uh, amorous peccadilloes. *shudder* It was horrible to see...and YOU COULDN"T HELP IT because you never knew when something was going to happen in there, right? Blinds open: no problem for weeks. Blinds open: Oh! NO! Don't look! AHH! TOO late! Agh! (And closing the blinds was so embarassing, because it's really hard to close them without them noticing...and looking up...from...their...activities.) Here's one thing I learned: porn is a ghastly business if it's not done by young, sober professionals with lots of good warm lighting, make-up and a strong post-production editing engineer. Don't try it at home, kids. Yecch. I hate to ask this, but…are they unfortunately er, proportioned?
