Hammerfestus | 3,846 Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 What would you do? There’s been a horrible smell that smells like rotting…something…outside. At first we thought someone was cooking rancid seafood. It started when it got warm. The first day it was overwhelming. After that I’ve noticed it on the southern boundary of the yard in whiffs. So I thought, I recently had moles exterminated so maybe this was the stench of the carnage that ensued. But — but, I was out with my girl working on learning to ride her bike and the smell got stronger and peaked at the next door neighbors driveway. So. Should I call the police? Should I be concerned that my neighbors are hiding a dead body? Would I be negligent in not reporting this to the proper authorities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I can relate to this now and it makes me feel old because I was 13 when the episode originally aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any garbage cans or such around? Do you talk to the neighbors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were downtown for a hockey game this afternoon and on a walkway lined with flowering trees very similar to what they have in their front yard. The death stench was present there too. It’s got to be that tree. I can’t remember now if I go through this every spring. This is only going to strengthen my household argument that I need to invest in a chainsaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need; just pound a copper nail into it and you won't have this problem next Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m failing to see how that gets me a chainsaw my current strongest argument is that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a chainsaw is a good guy with a chainsaw. I’m not winning.

If all goes well, I'm gonna have a new and improved game room, way better than my old one. When I get it set up, I can post some photos. Send your good vibes! Someone recently liked this so I'll just mention that this did happen and my gameroom is way cooler now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
