we were pranked! bahahahahahahah!

i think that i have mentioned many times just how much we love the various characters in our community. we haven't met a single person yet in our two communities that we haven't liked. we aren't crazy about some of the "cottagers", but as for the people who live in our two communities year round - we love them!

one of our friends S is a real hoot. and a cottager to boot! but we love him! he loves our communities and is out here every chance he gets. which is strange for a guy born and raised in Sydney (the island's only city). he's a car salesman and very successful. he's only 35 and already owns a place in the city as well as land out here that he has a trailer on. he is very generous, very funny and always loves a good laugh.

anyway, since moving here, we have always kept a chain up at the end of our driveway. it's so that anytime anyone wants to drop by, they first have to toot their horn at the bottom of the driveway. this gives us a chance to get some clothes on - bahahahahah! everyone here knows to toot as there have been a couple of near nude disasters. for example, our friends A and K were doing the census for our volunteer fire department. they parked their car at the bottom of the driveway and walked up. both doors to our plastic wrapped porch were propped open so they stepped into the porch, knocked on the door and then K yelled out "hey guys"! we were in the hottub out back - bahahahah! when K yelled, i screeched and jambaloney yelled - just a sec K! jambaloney then grabbed my bathrobe - he didn't have his with him - and he went around the porch in my flowery, too small robe and A and K didn't blink an eye. needless to say - that story is still being told all over the island! but it kind of cemented the fact that we REALLY do run around naked all of the time and though some of our friends might think that's a little strange - they just accept it as they do us. they are some really fine people.

continuing on and back to S, we had a dance a few weeks ago and he brought some of his friends. when jambaloney and i went out on the deck to where he was with his friends, S introduced us. these were his friends from the city and we had never met them before. the first thing out of their mouths was - "oh are these the nudists?" - we all burst out laughing because apparently S has great fun back in the city telling people about his cool friends in Framboise who just moved from the city and are nudists - bahahahahahah!

allrighty, back to the chain at the driveway. S told us that he really wanted to prank us because that chain drove him nuts. he at first thought of cutting it one night but that just wasn't flashy enough for him. then he thought and thought about it and it finally came to him - he wouldn't cut the chain - he'd change the lock - bahahahahahahah! we killed ourselves laughing and told him how funny that would be! he then said he wished he had have done it!


we met up with S on this past saturday at our community dance and had a ton of fun like usual! the next morning, and it must have been early, jamie saw something white down at the end of the driveway! so he went down to see what it was!

it was this:



bahahahahahahahahahahahaha! oh this was way too funny!


we intended to keep it up forever but he had only used masking tape to tape it to the chain. we took it down yesterday because it rained yesterday afternoon but this sign was up for a few days and if everyone in our communities hasn't had a chance to see it - most of them did - everyone will definitely hear about it! people will be laughing about this for months and years!

that S....he's a real hoot!

  2. Back to Africa? Does that mean you're gonna come visit?

    Pity you can get that sign screen printed - that way you can hang it on one of your walls - and smile every time you see it. Friends and their memories are what keep us young :)

    1. oh Dani - don't i wish???? i think he chose Africa as that is about as far away from Cape Breton as possible, as well as being an "exotic" location - he loves the flare! we are keeping the sign on one of the inside doors of the plastic porch so that we can always have a giggle. plus everyone who hears the story is going to want to see the sign!

  6. All I got out of the sign was the FIVE BEDROOMS! Really? Or did he mean FIVE ROOMS? I think I would like to put in a bid....
    Only I'd like to keep you and J on a retainer. We could pitch a tent for you, as I'm sure you would enjoy living in one, and we'd have our own nekkid caretakers/gardeners/cooks.

    1. lotta - he was being funny about the 5 bedrooms - we only have 2 and they are tiny! we do have five rooms in the whole house if you count the bathroom - that's kind of part of the joke - this cottage is about 30 yrs old, not 30!!! and everyone in our 2 communities worked on it at one time or another - DRUNK!!!

      oh we'd stay on a retainer for you for sure - bahahahahahha! NOT!

  9. That is a precious prank ! Perhaps I should get you a genuine sign, "Please toot horn. Owners will open chain for you when able"
    The sign to my gate says, "Have ID ready. Visitors photographed and IDs checked on entry". This stopped the sightseers at once !

    1. oh Jane - we thought so too! and we originally thought about getting an intercom system thingy but that is going way overboard and everyone pretty much knows to toot. as well, a few more naked near-disasters will keep the communities in gossip! that's a great sign for you guys to keep out the sightseers - bahahahahah!

    1. ya Mamma - we love the people around here. our friends C and B, who invited us for Christmas Dinner last year asked us at the dance if we had any Christmas invitations yet. we said no... and they said "then yer comin' to our house"....and now everyone knows that we are going to their house for Christmas again. and they feel like they pulled a prank on everyone for inviting us so early - bahahahahahah! we love our communities!

      funniest thing about the sign is that he gave HIS name and HIS actual number - bahahahahah! i think he was just trying to get strangers to call him at work, at the car sales shop, in order to get more business. i wouldn't put that past him - bahahahahahahaha!

  16. Now that was one funny story!

    Awhile back a gentleman called here at my office to schedule a tour of our library. As I was telling him the options, he finally chose a date and then told me it was a day he had to have pants on already.

    You would have caught on right away!

  17. What a hoot! How about, taking a bag or two, of confetti,And when you get the chance. Pour it down the defroster vents on his car. Then, turn the defroster to high. Then when he starts his car..... He has confetti blowing all over. Or, you could put peanut butter on all of the door handles. Or use a chocolate bar on the handles, they think it is poo. Watch, every time, they smell their hand, and fingers.
    How about acting like he has a phone call. Put some butter on the ear piece, not a lot. Tell him "It's for you" I had this pulled on me once.
    Or, take and make a paste of flour and water. And you need some green food dye. Wait until he parks his car. And then take little bits of your paste, and make like little bird droppings. Place all over the car. Add a little green food dye. And it looks just like the real thing. It will just wash off.

    Sorry, I kind of got carried away there. I'm sure, between the two of you. That you will come up with something good.
