Monty by Jim Meddick for August 25, 2023

On the way into Aspen, there’s a very large barn with a very large middle finger painted on the roof. I think it’s in the landing path of the local airport. Seems like some folks there don’t like tourists.

This may inspire some copycats.

I will be checking my roof more often from now on.

It’s message (warning?) to extraterrestrial visitors.

In Los Angeles there was a time when you had to have your house address number on your roof for the helicoppers.

This is Los Angeles, I’m a cop.

I love Google Earth, especially the “history” feature, where you can see aerial photos going back decades.

4 months. I think that’s a record. I worked with a guy who was a volunteer EMT. He was SUCH a dweeb and a dork. He would come to work with a pair of scissors and a roll of gauze on his belt. Kept a hardhat on the passenger headrest in his car. Thought he was the coolest. I put a bumper sticker on his car, that read, " I’m not gay, but my boyfriend is". He drove around with that sticker on his car for two weeks, before he found it. I guess he didn’t wash his car all that often.

Hi, this is my brother Monty, and this is my other brother Monty?

Must have been Sedgwick. Takes one to know one.

Except it’s true

Hahaha…By far one of the best pranks I’ve heard of.

A drone with a spray paint can that can actually spray? I know it’s cartoon physics, but just not possible. I fly drones and the propeller downdraft would send the paint in all directions and never write anything readable. More than likely the paint would get into the motors and shut it down.

Let’s start a go-fund me to send those delinquents to Russia to spray paint on the Kremlin roof: Выпустите полезную нагрузку здесь (“Release payload here”)

If you thought it strange…why didn’t you call the cops?

I wonder which one of his neighbors is the culprit.

The satellite image of my house is years old, and I think the Streetview images are even older. Google doesn’t seem to update this stuff much anymore.

What are you complaining about, Monty? The graffito is precisely correct. Wear it with pride!

And you kids get off my lawn!
