How much do you want to bet that the homeless guy took a dump on their porch after reading that note?

The homeless on Pearl Street, having heard of this note, immediately begin to taunt the poor little dog!

Dear home owner,
You have been very naughty this year so no goodies for you.
Love Santa
P.S. That’s not coal in your stocking!
P.P.S. Oh yeah, Merry Christmas!

Dear dog-hater,
I’m sorry my dog barks past midnight. Maybe you should tell your crack-head family to quit using my porch as a bed & bath. If you want to break in, feel free. My dog isn’t a little anything, we just had him neutered too early.
Merry Christmas, hope the doctors can re-attach that arm
Love,

RF says, “Heh, I fed your dog to those homeless people. Here’s his name tag. You should have just muzzled him. Oh wait, I thought you said your dog doesn’t bark. 2534 looks at the tag & says “That’s not my dog.”

If the homeless of Pearl Street eat a nice, substantial meal of pooch and potatoes, they will leave more than piss on that porch!

How does one steal a home? How does one feed a stolen home to a homeless?
Forcing a homeless to eat a house – that’s Morrisette level irony!

Hmm I don’t think either of those fit in with our current life style. I suspect that someone is writing notes equivalent to the yappy dog but substitute ‘noisy kids.’

Notice how RF doesn’t leave a number..maybe he’s #2533…I wonder if #2534 has any idea who this potential sneak thief of his home/dog may be? Does he/she scan the apartment directory for potential enemies with the same initials?

If you are found sleeping in this manger, we will not disturb you or ask you to leave… we’ll just call the Romans and have them haul you, your parents, and your homeless ass away… so find somewhere else to sleep and be born to save all of mankind…

Hey neighbor,
Thanks so much for not disturbing me while I sleep (and pee) on your porch. It’s tough to get a good night’s sleep when you’re homeless. I did have a job but I was let go for sounding like I ‘let go’ in the office bathroom. Anyway, thanks again and Merry Christmas to you too!

Okay –#1– Sleeping and (you know) is not allowed on the porch of my house/apt.. PERIOD. Then we have to answer the issue of “the dog barking after midnight”… question — how does he know it’s the dog and not the dog’s owner? (P.S. you have to know it’s a guy who sent this… no girl I know would threaten to steal someone’s house/pet. They would just steal her mascara. Corporale Punishment for that…)
Maybe, just maybe #2534 is the one who should be stolen and fead to the peasants… just asking..

Eh, the homeless on Pearl Street are just unwashed Trustafarians. Their bellies are sufficiently full; they’d probably smoke the dog instead.

I think both these notes are fully aggressive, even though they are notes and not face-to face confrontations……..I tell you I’m scared!
Oh, and good luck stealing my barking pit bull (it could be!) by breaking into my house after midnight….
Even after you get eaten, there isn’t a jury in the land…..But its all good – I’ll finally be able to enact my plan of annexing your place to mine for the stray dog rescue center I’ve been planning.
And by the way (hand over the unitard, Larry David, you get off easy today and only today) my dog tells me that YOUR ASS WAS FUCKING DELICIOUS!
And that’s all I have to say about that.

Who cold forget this old Patsy Cline classic?
I go out barking after midnight,
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do.
I’m always barking after midnight,
Bow-ow-ow-oo.
I bark for hours in my apartment,
Well that’s just my way of saying I love you.
I’m always barking after midnight,
Bow-ow-ow-oo.
I stopped to see a homeless daddy-o,
Peeing on the patio.
Maybe he’s sleeping there, too.
And as the skies turn gloomy,
My bladder whispers to me,
“I need to go to the loo.
I go out barking after midnight,
Out in the moonlight, just hoping you may be
Somewhere a-barking after midnight,
Taking a pee.
I stopped to see a sleeping vagrant,
He was rather fragrant.
Maybe he’s sleeping in pee.
And as the skies turn gloomy,
Neighbor holler to me,
“Shut up, you stupid Corgee!”
I go out barking after midnight,
Out in the moonlight, just hoping you may be
Somewhere a-barking after midnight,
Taking a pee.

Dear RF:
#2534 has told me to expect their dog as Christmas dinner. Just because I’m Asian-American does NOT mean I eat dogs, you racist bastard! And yes, that flaming bag of pooh was from me.
Merry Christmas

I’m impressed that both of these notes managed to get the ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ grammatically correct. These aren’t notes hurriedly dashed out in a fit of vexation; obviously a lot of effort was put into spreading their holiday cheer. Your not retarded after all.

My boyfriend’s brother is a cop in San Francisco, and the first note reminds me of stories he’s told. Half of his job is responding to calls for people asking him to kick the homeless people off their doorsteps, where they’re asleep. The cops respond “you know they’ll just move to your neighbor’s door, right?”. Caller replies “Yeah, but I don’t care. I just want him off my doorstep”.
Ah, the manifold levels of Scroogie-ness.

I would love to be add a little “a” before RF’s initials. Then it would read “ARF,” and would appear to be a cute little bark note written to “the little fucker” who barks after midnight.

I wouldn’t mess with the 2nd note writer. “2534″ happens to be the combo to the key-code lock on the dog owner’s front door. Oh, he forgot to mention that he found the note inside his underwear drawer.

To “Oh, Holy Night”…I hope
Oh holy crap,
The neighbor’s dog is barking.
I cannot sleep.
I’ll be up until dawn.
Out on the porch,
A homeless guy is sleeping,
I’ve called the cops,
Hope they come before he pees.
I’ll steal that dog.
I’ll feed it to the homeless.
I’ll stew it up.
I’ll serve it down on Pearl Street.
Get off my porch!
Oh hear the sirens coming!
Oh night, destroyed.
Oh night, of silence gone.
Oh night, destroyed!
For peace, my peace I mourn.

The Homeless on Bourbon Street, what the.
You Americans are such asses when it comes to poor homeless people
I hope the owner of that store gets robbed by armed rap artists and becomes a homeless guy, when he looks for a place to sleep without trembling, or coughing his lungs out against a cold biting wind, he may come to have compassion for the more unfortunate individuals out there.
I’m so pissed..
