Years ago I ran into a German nudist couple hiking near Kachess Ridge in Washington... their skin was baked brown and tighter than a drum. What makes Germans want to get naked in other parts of the world?

We had a couple angry bickering German nudists hot on our tails for parts of our West Coast Trail Hike.

Good motivation to keep moving.

That's pretty much where we are. Neither my wife of I are in any great hurry to spend time with these people now. Just too weird. But I also don't want to "punish" the kids....mine or his.

That kid DOES need some discipline. The few times they've played together, she's been running all over other peoples' yards, both willy AND nilly.

They came from "apartment living". The guy knows NOTHING about suburban life. Doesn't own a lawn mower.....doesn't understand why you need to rake leaves etc...which is fine. He'll learn. But I guess where they were, the kids would move from one apartment to another freely? I've no idea.
This sounds like an awful American suburbial story. I think you'll only find other suburbanites will be sympathetic with you Mmike.

I could not imagine living in your street/community/Stepford...

Well we have established he IS a crazy person right?

You should thank your lucky stars you aren't my neighbor. I can detect others awkward uneasiness when I get outside their comfort zone and really start to turn my specialness up a notch when they get squirrely with me. I have absolutely no patience for others children or that suburban mindset. I would be growing Pot plants in your garden and bathing in your pool by now. My main mission in life would to be to devalue your home and steal your sanity.... My skill with and access to explosives would scare the crap out of you. My yard would be mined and booby trapped for my protection also..

There's something to be said for neighbors that keep to themselves... :D
there's also something to be said for not having any neighbors close to your house.

i grew up in suburbia, but there is no way in hell i will ever allow myself to live there again.

...C'MON... you all knew that was coming.

The burbs are like slack head angles - it's all individual preference. This German guy DOES sound... creepy.

Duh, Austin
Just get one of those signs that says you are a sex offender and put it on your front lawn. Write it in german and the rest of the neighborhood will never know the difference.

Problem solved.

Actually, that might backfire. Have you ever seen german porn before? This might keep the kids away, but the dad would show up on Saturday night dressed up like the Gimp, with a box of diapers and some ex-lax.

Freakin guy

So he hasn't moved yet. And now ANY time I go out front with the girls, he shows up with the kids. I CAN'T be outside with them. I'm going to have to tell the guy to piss off.

My girls like his kids. But they are out of control.

It's not fair that I can't play in my own driveway with my kids!!

Funny you mention that. I was at a colleague's house for a bbq and they also complained of the new german neighbor, "who doesn't 'get' yards and how to take care of them, etc." This was in montreal, but NDG... which is basically the suburbs ;)

The guy's back yard was full of sticks and un-raked leaves (in the summer mind you)... but thought it was funny to boil it down to him being "german." It's a personality thing - some people just don't care for their yards.

The American obsession with lawns is pretty f'd up however imo.

I can't believe I have to fix this for you. Make a play date for your kids and his. If you belong to a church or temple take his kids there and have them sign up for all the glorious events his kids are able to. Send the kids home with a huge itinerary of church/temple stuff to do. I guarantee you will not ever see hide nor hair of him or his children ever again. Seeing as your Canadian and most likely Godless. Take his kid to the local LDS temple for the same experience....Or just ask him for money for any cause....

All this German talk reminds me of an old email that was sent to my college cycling email list.
Quoted below for your approval:
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2003 12:15:20 -0500
From: xxxxx@BUFFALO.EDU
Subject: i have been discovered
To: UBCYCLING-LIST@xxxxxxxxxx

Hi,

Many many semesters ago i gave a profile for the ub cycling web site. Since i do many different and sometimes crazy things for hobbies, such as scuba,mountain bike, snow boarding, bob sledding, and various things of such nature, i thought it funny to have the webmaster at the time to put "German porn star" to the list of things i enjoy partaking in.
What to my surprise, this morning i found in my inbox on my trusty ub email account but this letter. It is obviously very shady, and have no interest in being a porn star, yet i find it humorous . so here is the letter, enjoy it as much as i did
