It took me a minute to figure out what a “Heisa” monster is.

Hmmm, I don’t think that’ll work without a demonstration. Or at least a photo of the monster! You know, kids these days with their video games and skateboards and whatnot…

Where does the note-writer live that she can post a note on her front door to various parents and kids, hoping they’ll read it? Do they live at the local McDonald’s?
That note isn’t going to change anything.

Do I count 8 (eight) font color changes in the 2nd note?
…and if you look at the signature on the 1st note, it kinda looks like “the Crazies“, doesn’t it?

I agree with Inner Space – perhaps a few scattered kiddy bones and some blood spatters on the outside walls will do the trick.
Or perhaps this grumpy old toothless couple is actually having a problem with squirrels or raccoons? I mean, did they actually SEE the kids smear the mud and pile peanut shells – PEANUT shells? really?? – on their porch? If so, why didn’t they just stop them at that time?
Also, the note to the kids is a bit too specific. What if they smear fecal matter instead of blood on their railings….or pour dirt OR peanut shells (but not both) on their porch? Will their “friend” still be as hungry?

I think it’s zombie Claw…creating havoc around the globe….this was his latest prank after doing the boss’ wife & eating the coffee mints at the UK pub, pinching the pizza theif’s dominoes’, leaving hookah burns on the steps, taking a bite out of the pregger’s moldy sandwich (starving her unborn babe), and thank you, TERRY….at least he didn’t also leave the fat chef placemats on their porch….THAT would really have been a travesty.

I just moved to my new apt and not only do I find cigarette butts and sunflower seed shells on my patio furniture all time (ewww) but everyone feels that walking the extra 2 feet to the walkway outside my patio is just too taxing.
In addition, I have actually seen the children from the apt across from me walk up to my deck door and put their hands and faces on the glass (funny faces until I have to clean their spit off the glass). I’m almost to passive-aggressive note status myself.

he he.. i was wondering what a ‘heisa’ was as well (to alicia-first comment). took me a moment to decipher.
so… the first note is for the parents and the second note is for the kids.
kids that smear mud and peanut shells.
i’m pretty sure they can’t read.
thanks, terry!

Team nasty monster. My neighbours flick their cigarette butts off their porch on onto my car and the driveway generally. When I find any butts, especially those on my car, I throw them back up onto their porch. If they find using an ashtry is too hard, they can try finding their porch littered with their cigarette butts. How much of a dumbass do you have to be?

I want to know who they were going to call before they crossed it out!
Looks like ‘the’… probably ‘the police’.. but then … inspiration strikes! No, mud-smearing kids these days aren’t scared of the police. Deviant kids really respond well to made-up threats and taunting! That’ll show them!
Someone should have gotten a picture of the porch the day after that note went up.

“Of course, Officer, I’m just a caring daycarer with nothing to hide!”
“I see, well, are you still claiming that you saw and heard nothing?”
“Oh yes- whomever did this was very quiet…”
“You’re telling me that you didn’t notice three children being disemboweled last evening, right in front of your porch?”
“No, no, I didn’t hear a thing- I just came out this morning like I always do, and there they were!”
“Witnesses across the street say that a small person in a monster mask was seen chasing the kids around the yard.”
“Oh, well- that’s interesting…”
“Do you own a monster mask, Miss?”
“Oh no, well, I did, but it recently disappeared…”
“Are those blood stains on your apron, Miss?”

I am the one who wrote this note. To clear a few things up..
A) We live in an upstairs apartment and the kids GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to come up the stairs and dump stuff and smear mud on our porch. We are new to the neighborhood (was not born and raised in Georgia ;]) and therefore haven’t even had the chance to become hated in any way. o.0
B) I know little kids can’t read, I was hoping one of the older ones would read it to them..
C)We know it’s kids because we hear them running away, and they left the ziploc baggie when they dumped the peanuts. -_-
D) We are 22 and 23.
E) No repercussion as of yet.
F) My handwriting sucks.
I wish I could just yell and throw cats at them but I never catch them in time.

I love that ho!!y immediately assumed that I was making a “hick” comment. I said they were grumpy and old BEFORE I called them “toothless”. The lack of teeth is a double reference both to their being OLD and to their not having the balls to actually stop the kids themselves without the help of their made-up monster.
Man, I love people who assume stereotypes when none are actually present.
Loosen the chain, ho!!y, you’re wound a bit tight.

Hang on, Jasmine – you have an upstairs apartment WITH A PORCH? How odd is that?
’round ’bout these parts we would call that a “balcony”. Or perhaps even a “deck”. That’s what makes language so much fun, though.
A tip for you: if you DO ever throw cats at these kids, make sure their parents don’t know anybody in Iowa or your landlord is liable to get a very P/A note in a couple of weeks.

how old are these children?!?!
seriously though, I got a better idea (not that throwing cats or any other small furry claw bearing animal isn’t excellent….)
but you could smear crisco on the top 2 steps of your stairs so when the lil bastards try to do it again you can hear them tumbling down the stairs. yay for my team! TEAM CRISCO!!!
p.s. be careful when using your own steps ;o)

I wonder if the markers were those cool smelling markers. That’d explain the crazier and crazier writing, as they’d sniff and sniff.
Also, way to go with the constant stereotype of the kid-eating monster. Monsters all around the country live normal lives, contributing to the community, then you have someone like this taking advantage these gentle giants. Boo.

O. MY. GOD.
They ACTUALLY made me work today! Gah!
So now I’m tired, no less… but here’s what I’ve got:
The Heisa Monster phenomenon is fucking delicious.
The fucking delicious competition is pretty fucking delicious too.
Really good alternate ideas, Jasmine, occur at #2, #6 (and I smell no hick there at all), #15 – because the fat chef placemats might actually work!, #37, #47 – but you know that, #517 may work well together…
#20 was a very good question at the time.
#29 displays my favourite kind of passive aggression.
#33 funny:)
#48 what the hell? have you been watching porn all day? ( i jest.) but have you?
Ghostwriter – you stuck today! But it made me wonder – are you using this place to write your next murder mystery by any chance?And also – what’s hunter’s stew?
And me? I thought that a set of parents had put up the first note and then their adolescent daughter/son, having seen their pathetic attempt, went ahead and showed them how things get done.
