I think it is appropriate to create a topic which deals with the Burbs Day only (how you celebrated it and so on).

Remember: The inofficial "Burbs Day 2007" will be celebrated according to the last rule (every second saturday in July) so this year it will be on:

July 14, 2007

<u>For those of you who are new on this board and don't know what this is all about:</u>

The main purpose is to watch the movie with other people. If they don't know the movie you have to make them acquainted to it. Try to turn them into "Burbanites" as well.

In addition you may try to emulate some things which happen in the movie:

- Wake up at the crack of dawn
- fetch the newspaper in your pyjama
- throw coffee after the paperboy
- slurp some orange juice on your veranda suspiciously staring at your neighbour's house
- snoop around in the neighbourhood
- bother your girlfriend/boyfriend with conspiracy theories about your neighbours
- have a decent breakfast like Art
- call the pizza dude
- crack a few beers and crush the cans
- wake up to the "Mister Roger's Neighbourhood" theme (at the crack of dawn)
- run up your national flag while "Machine" blasres out of the house

and so on.
 
I remember the first 'burbs day - decided by a poll we all took on the board back in 2000. Having BBQs, eating pretzels and sardines, drinking beer. Remember that Hayley?
 
Rodger that Art. :) I think I'm going to bang the heck out of my garbage with a stick. Even though the garbies don't come that day. hahaha The neighbors will get a kick out of it..They think I'm crazy enough as it is hahahaha.

If they stare, I'll just holler Happy Burbs Day you old farts! lol maybe not the old farts bit. I might even get some apple juice, animal crackers and my telescope up on the roof.

Over and out
Bonnie
 
I've got a great idea.

I have a high-powered air rifle...not for crows...just for target shooting.

I'm going to buy a cheap ceramic owl, put it at the bottom of my garden and whack its head. I think my wife may be annoyed if I shoot my outside light...

I hope to hear a neighbour say "Chris's got a gun!"

 
Damn, we're taking this too far. :)

Imagine me eating a spoonful of dog food while you are shooting the head of a ceramic owl (which you specially bought for that purpose!).

That's slightly crazy. :p
 
Dang... Burbs Day is always on a Saturday and my garbage runs on Tuesday mornings. I won't be able to harass the garbagemen and dig through the truck. :*(

I guess I'll have to live with telling all the lame-o's to get off my lawn, eating Art's breakfast and offering sugar substitute to people I barely know. I could always cause the south side of town to lose power... ;D
 
hmmm i should try this.. atleast some of the things, lol! :p however, i bet i have work that day.. *pout* i'll cross my fingers.
 
As Ferris Bueller says "One - you can never go too far"

I say we do it all
 
And don't forget to wear your vacation togs! I'm not dressing like Bonnie though...lol maybe like Ricky's girlfriend lol.


I'll TRY to eat sardines this year......keyword there: "try"
 
Try 'em on a pretzel...Mmmm...the thing is, in 2000 when I tried them, I wanted to be authentic to the scene...but sardines are sold in ketchup, brine, sunflower oil etc...
I went for brine....Mmmm...*cough*...packing dust.....Im sorry
