Family buys hut next to sponsored child

Lark News ^

[Cowboy Bob]

Hey! This is fun! Let’s pretend we’re living in the 3rd world. No problem, as long as we can go back home on weekends to de-lice.

For their part, Carlita’s parents are considering moving to the other side of the neighborhood and hoping the Nillsons won’t find them.

Haha, Carlita's parents have a sense of humor. The Nillsons are determined to do good. There is NOTHING more determined that do-gooders, or good-deed doers, a la Wizard of Oz.

I wonder if the Nillsons hand out birth control stuff.

[Gaffer]

I only WISH, HOPE and DREAM FOR every liberal do-gooder be made to do the same in excruciating specificity.

How rude!!

But funny! :o)

“I want to start an accountability group with the guys in the neighborhood and really get into each others’ lives,” Greg says.

Good luck. I hope they take kindly to that.

[Black Agnes]

You need to post a satire warning. I read about half of this before I realized it LOL.

[mlizzy]

Busybodies. Go home and send the check!

[Impy]

That shack would cost at least 100 grand on Manhattan.

[Marie]

I was praying that this was satire! lol!

[nascarnation]

And then what would the property taxes be, LOL

The Nillsons’ new hut, which cost them a few hundred dollars, is made of wood planks and pieces of scrap tin. Greg brought his camping equipment and they are busy becoming “part of the neighborhood” with visits every couple of months. Lisa is planting a garden and hosting a weekly “girls’ night out.” Greg is fixing up the hut and wants to organize a neighborhood work day to clean the place up.

“It could look a lot nicer around here if everyone just pitched in,” he says optimistically.

 

A real Whiskey Tango moment if ever I saw one. What's next? Central A/C and a swimming pool out back? Hey, the Nillsons could get lots of people to pitch in if they just cleaned out their fridge here in the states and brought the leftovers from last week down to Honduras. That'd feed a family of 5 for like a month, right?

Hoo Boy.

[jneesy]

more than a bit creepy

[Responsibility2nd]

Oh. You (bleep).

I just noticed the source.

You bleepity bleep. Got me good. For sure. And plenty others I see.

lololol

This is the second Lark News of the morning and I couldn’t put my finger on the hustle with the pastor’s draft ... but now ...

[RetroSexual]

Carlita, their sponsor child, fled the first time she saw them.

Smart kid.

[CSM]

Ummm, you are doing it wrong!

[Responsibility2nd]

I like a good fooling once in awhile. But watch and see: Someone always gets offended and runs whining to the mods who adds (SATIRE) to the title so the thin skins here will be vindicated.

~sheesh~

[pax_et_bonum]

They are quietly considering buying the entire neighborhood and starting an HOA, to put basic living standards in place.

Love this line, especially with the word “quietly”.

[Bulwyf]

if it wasn’t satire, it would be taking stalking to a new level haha
