Things that go bump in the middle of the night
Something went bump in the middle of the night. My wife heard it and her big dog heard it. She got up to turn the light in the hall; nothing. She and her big dog went to the den and turned the light on, again, nothing. She makes her was across the den to the kitchen; she turns the light on and again, nothing. She made her way to the office and found nothing. And then she headed for the living/dinning room; she reaches over with her right hand to turn the light on and it was about that time things picked up. She began running in place, waving her arms and hollering; and then realized her big dog was looking for a clue. It was about that time she realized what ever it was she was looking at had been there for a while; anyhow, the dog knew it was there; he saw me stand it there.
The next day I called her; all she said was DARTH VADOR. I reminded her about Darth Vador, I explained to her again I did not have a place for it so I stood it between the wall and piano. She said no problem; I turned him into a sailor cat. She carried him to the back door and sent him sailing. It took a while but she calmed down and retrieved Darth. Darth now resides behind a tall boy dresser.
Darth was at the NYC premier of Star Wars along with all the other masonite cut outs. Unfortunately for Darth, they used liquid nails to attach him to the front of the theater wall; when removed he lost a foot and part of his sword.
Food for thought; I gave her a 12 gage two-row; I gave her two 12 gage shotgun shells. When she went to investigate “Things that go bump in the middle of the night” she did not bring her two-row, she did not bring her two shotgun shells. I can not imagine what the old 1852 square grand piano would look like after getting hit with double ‘0’
