A Word on the Misuse of Vocal Cords

About those yodeling, yipping, opera singing maniacs next door. They've now combined genres of annoyance. They now speak in singsong. This is the answer to my fit, I think. They've been quiet since dinner, and now, late at night, they start up again. Of course, I'm not angry at them right now, just stating the obvious for all of you (all two of you) who aren't here to hear it. They really are unique, the sounds these people make. Like animals, or joy riding teenagers. Wait a minute... is there much of a difference? Oh well. Let's all hope they sing, yip and yodel themselves hoarse, and then learn from that how to better use their God-given vocal cords. End.

    You know, there are ways to silence the vocal cords of those people. And I'm not talking about violently ripping them out either. Certain chemicals in the water would have a wonderful effect...

    You might also want to consider sound proof tape if it is still bothering you too much. Just put it along the corners of your rooms and it should block a lot of it out. Just a suggestion.
    Tai Chi and origami are still going well. Here's to a warm shower for you in the morning.

    I would suggest a treatise if you wanted to broach the world of next door. Maybe something along the lines of "no yodeling after 10pm please." That seemed to work well with the Smoking Picasso uys and their neighbors.
