This should quiet things down for a bit

Across the street from where I live a new Hip Hop Club opened last weekend. Since then all we hear until 0300 in the morning is the thumping of Hip Hop and Rap, screaming and yelling and screaming engines. The Police are there every night at last a couple of times.

The Park got a group together to go over and talk to the owner. They asked him to calm things down a bit. Start controlling the people in the parking lot, quiet it down after maybe midnight. (Which he could easily do by closing the doors.) You know, be a good neighbor. His reply? "Fuck off before I get nasty on your asses."

I heard about this from some of my neighbors and laughed. Then I started thinking. I had done a lot of work on the place for the prior owner and knew a lot about how things were set up. Little things like the ventilation system.

Then I started digging in the back room, what my wife calls the room off horrors. I found what I was looking for in two smallish bottles sealed with wax.

I paid a visit to the club this morning when no one was around. I'm thinking they'll be kicking in the ventilation system in a while, after that it should be nice and quiet for a couple of days.:devil:

It's amazing the fun you can have with the little things you find in yard sales.:eek:

Damn, I never find skunk oil at my yard sales!

Which reminds me, Cat, Please? take a pic of yourself with your hair down and your helmet on and the plastic vampire teeth in. I laugh every time I imagine that scene!

I love it! We never get skunk oil in yard sales here, either, but there are plenty of skunks around.


However, if someone gets loud after 10:00 p.m. the Sheriff is at their door in a heartbeat. The last time someone tried to hold a party with a live rock band, the dispatcher said that at the stroke of 10, her switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree. The party ended at 10:05! :D
 
If someone wants to open a place over here, they have to get permission from the local Authority:
A; to open
B; to have a Bar (separate licence)
c; to operate in defined hours
d; and with the non-opposition of the locals (neighbours).

Don't this happen in Fl ?

I wish I could get some Skunk Oil . . . .
 
Noise ordinances vary widely in the US. Here in Houston they have none. If you call the cops they will go over and ask them to quiet down but they can't tell them to shut it down. So you live with it for the night, then have a talk with the home owners association as most of them do have noise addendums.

In Chicago you could get a $50 fine for violation of the noise ordinances.

In Marietta it was $25 fine.
 
Nice Cat! I like that. I thought you were going to say you burned it down. I guess that shows you how I grew up.
 
You can find Skunk Oil in some Hunting Stores, it's used to hide the scent of the hunter. (I personaly think Doe in Heat works better though as it attracts the Horny Bucks as well as hiding ones scent. Both stink though.)

We'll see how quiet it is tonight, it certainly quieted down last night.

Wholesale destruction is a last ditch thing. One can do terrible things psychologicaly if one thinks about it. I have a few other nasty tricks that can be used if needed.

I never said I was nice.

I poured skunk scent on a guys engine block one time. Smelled great after it got hot.
 
Brilliant, Cat! Scratch one ventilation system. They'll have to dip that place in Lysol to get rid of the smell. I'm sure you have more of that eau de skunke just in case they don't get the message. ;)
 
I love Hip-hop, but I respect people's right to not hear it. Good job, fuck em if they can't take a joke.
 
Skunk

Read an article a while back about a man who was having trouble with some garbage men (for the PC that reads "Sanitation Engineers"). He got a couple of dead skunks from a trapper, wrapped them in plastic and dropped them in a dumpster farther down their route. You can imagine what happened when the compactor was used. Took forever to wear off.
