I'm glad one of my weirder thoughts was good for a laugh. I'll have to try to put something together on those lines just for kicks.
It hasn't happened to me directly yet (Believe me you'll hear about it if does). But, I have had it happen to a couple friends of mine, some of whom are no longer here because of it. In the end it wasn't about reporting artwork of questionable origin (many times the citations were the user's own DeviantArt account), it was about harrassing the user. That's where the TheO moderators failed to really step in and stop the "playing Mod" that was going on. That's all I'll say on the matter till it happens to me directly, or till I lose another friend to that garbage.
I'm sure the roof will get strightened out, but I'll have to insist they be told to figure out how to get to that section of the roof from the front of the house. The rose bush is down to two branches, I don''t need them taking any more off of it. As far as epoxy goes, I don't know that that's acceptable in building code for roofs.

Cloud 2.3 is a long way down from 9. To be honest, I think they did the whole job backwards. They fixed the other two leaky spots on the roof, but because they were just using the time they had between contracts, they had to rush at the end. If they had fixed the front of the house first, which was the worst part, then it probably wouldn't be leaking now. At least it's not as bad as it used to be, but any leak is a bad thing. They'll be back, apparently they wer contracted to repair the front porch roof (which needs almost a complete rebuild - where'd the money for that come from?), so they'll be told about the missed leak and if they have any morals, they'll fix what they didn't finish the first time.
That's the plan anyway, of course I can't promise that they'll be accepted. I've designed a couple covers, but none of them are coming out how I want them, so it's going to take longer than I originally thought. I have decided on the name for the project though, but you'll have to wait till it's up to see that.
They're actually using Caller ID data now (some of it bogus), they've figured out how to bypass the Telezapper thing, and they leave messages on answering machines, which is very annoying. As for people getting smarter too, you don't answer the phone to an 800 number with no name on your CID do you? How about a number that's 2-222-222-2222 or random repeated digits? The consumers are getting wise to the antics of telemarketers, and there's the national "Do Not Call" registry (find it on the Federal Trade Commission website) that keeps some of those calls out of your hair too.

I think it will, if the point is hammered home enough, it will.

The only way those idiots could get my dander up any higher than they did when I saw the rose bush would be to break out one of the windows to my room, which happens to be near the spot they need to fix again. They'll be back to fix the porch roof, and I hope they'll be told about the spot they missed from their last efforts, but as I said before they'll be challeneged to gain access to it from the front, not the rear of the house.

We hope they'll get it right this time.
They did the same with The Mothman Prophecies, it was filmed up in Kittanning PA, not in Point Pleasant WV, where it should have been filmed if you ask me. Maybe the director was afraid the real one would show up on film, or worse, for that travesty. I'm not sure which town you're talking about since I mentioned a couple, but in the game Silent Hill is creepy, the town I live in and Point Pleasent are both creepy, and definately the town in PA that has no zip code anymore is creepy.
Yeah it is complicated. Getting the right endings for that game is complicated, you have to save Cybil, and do this, and do that, but to my credit, I figured out the puzzle with the "Ring of Contract" in the kitchen in Nowhere even when my sister couldn't. At least they make it worthwhile by giving you gas for the chainsaw and rock drill, the katana, the channeling stone (whihc must have a purpose other than the UFO ending), and maybe a few other things. I've heard that there's a way to use the distilled water and glucose in the Hospital to build a bomb, but none of the sites that my sister gets her tips and cheats from seem to have the details on how to to just that. I think that's a bogus thing that someone on crack posted somewhere just to watch people try to do it. I don't have a PS2 either, so I only know what my sister showed me of Silent Hill 2 on her computer (she has the PC version and a computer that can run it). I don't know anything about 3 or 4 at all actually.
It was unsettling the first time to come up to a tunnel with the number 13 on it and see the plaque about the train wreck there. After that, it just feels like another tunnel on the trail to me, and I do intend to go back out ther when it warms up again.
It's going to take a bit longer, I'm not getting the results I want rigth now. I am still working on it and I hope to have something done really soon.

And who are you again? You know I'm just joking right?
It never rains but it pours, or something like that. I know it's a song that plays on the oldies station once in a while. Muphey's Law or c'est la vie, whichever you prefer, personally, I like the French (translates to that's life if I recall) better, but the exotic seems to fit my personality.
Things are going all right, I'm getting behind in projects and ahead in others, but oh well, I'll tame my wild mind eventually.

You only missed my brief little blurb about the idiot roofers not getting the job done right the first time because after a rain the other day the front part of the house still leaked (not as bad, but that's beside the point). It looks to me like (and I already said this) they did a normal job on the back and side of thouse, but had to rush the front which should have been done first because it was the worst part of the roof. They're coming back to do the porch roof (I believe that was part of the contract), so they'll be informed about the leak they missed if I have to climb up on the porch roof myself and tell them. If they want their money they [Censored] well better fix what they didn't complete when they were here last. I'm not sure if you caught my rants about the rose bush those idiots trashed or not.
