You should be worried by anonimouse (4.00 / 2) #1 Mon Jan 21, 2008 at 04:04:58 PM EST

...assuming he is as deranged and paranoid as you say, acts like this will feed his illness.

Mental illness under stress gets worse, not better. Fit an external security camera, not a separate drive. The incidents you describe would piss anyone off, let alone someone on the borders of sanity.

I'm Too Cheap/Lazy/Careless by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #11 Mon Jan 21, 2008 at 07:10:31 PM EST

Aren't you following along? If I turn my enemy's enemy into my enemy by thwarting his efforts to annoy my enemy, I'm pretty end I end up somebody's friend who I don't want to be. Or something. Um.

The main point is that I'm relieved not to have to worry. Our assailant clearly can differentiate between that which is mine and that which belongs to Mr. Booger Drawers.

As for feeding the illness -- that can't be helped. I've tried, I've tested...external stimuli are irrelevant next to whatever's going on in his head. I can't stop the pranking, so the next best thing, I figure, is to distance myself from it entirely.

Create a fatal "prank" and blame the demise of the F-I-L on the prankster.

TNG episode "Darmok" with Paul Winfield and Enemy Mine with Quaid and Louis Gossett. The fact that I just know that trivial shit off the top of my head confirms it. I am a hopeless nerd and there is no turning back.

So...did the glass bust the tires?

: No Damage. by CheeseburgerBrown (4.00 / 1) #8 Mon Jan 21, 2008 at 07:04:56 PM EST

Even if it hadn't been swept aside it didn't seem a particularly effective way to puncture a tire.

...Besides, once you turn down the nerd path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

The real question is, is the character played by Louis Gossett related to the guy in The Last Starfighter with startlingly similar makeup?

Or even mostly true, I believe him. I mean, does Mr. Brown even know enough about cars to know why putting glass behind the wheels might harm them?

Great! When Will They Get Here? by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #10 Mon Jan 21, 2008 at 07:07:12 PM EST

And when can you install them?

Oh...unless you meant...oh no, you couldn't have. You're not suggesting that I get off my lazy arse and do something, are you? Something that involves spending modest amounts of money?

H'mm. Interesting. Far-fetched, but interesting...

get thee to your local gun store by clover kicker (4.00 / 2) #14 Mon Jan 21, 2008 at 07:42:24 PM EST

Starting at $100 there are game cameras that you leave outside, and they take pictures whenever something breaks their IR beam.

A buddy of mine just bought a couple for his back 40, he emailed me a pic of a deer shortly afterwards so they do work.

I know this violates your lazy rule, but do you really want your f-i-l going to the gun store instead?

Careful by duxup (2.00 / 0) #17 Tue Jan 22, 2008 at 02:09:02 PM EST

I don't know if it is the same for other people but the guys at work who own those very quickly turned fanatical. Maybe it is just my little sleeper cell here but these guys are all about their deer spotting and such. It is crazy.

: well it is pretty cool by clover kicker (4.00 / 1) #20 Tue Jan 22, 2008 at 07:36:11 PM EST

And depending on how much land you've got access to, you could spend a loooong time juggling cameras and finding the very bestest game trails.

The FSM . . . by slozo (4.00 / 1) #21 Wed Jan 23, 2008 at 09:33:58 AM EST

. . . didn't make you accept the monetary arrangement that allowed you to buy a house, gave you a free live-in babysitting service, and a handyman that worked for free and added free value to your property. Yes, my dad is mentally ill (and getting worse); yes, he is irrational and argumentative; but you knew the risks going in.

Please - try to add a more full version of events when disparaginging my father.

: I Understand Where You're Coming From by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #22 Wed Jan 23, 2008 at 09:26:48 PM EST

But, fuck no.

I ain't making a Wikipedia entry here -- this is my diary. I don't have to check myself to be fair and balanced: this is where I get to vent.

Please try to understand that.
