@shahnm Me too, I’ll try and get one soon and let you guys know how it goes. Unless Dave or someone cruises this thread and thinks the same thing as you do.
You’re up there spyin’ on that squirrel three yards down.
Either that or you’re harassing the tree off to your right again- s’lookin’ pretty bare compared to all its friends.
Wait no, it’s all coming together now. That squirrel n’ his cohorts have been stealin’ all your leaves n’ you’re lookin’ to get some hard proof 'fore you file a lawsuit.
(Insert your own animal-based puns here for whatever critter you think the squirrels are most likely to hire as legal council.)
What, you have giant mutant acorns in Oklahoma? That might be worth a visit someday.
Oh, and you were obviously up there looking for your keys, because you’ve looked everyplace else and are firm believer in the old saying that you’ll find them the last place you look. And because the squirrels took them when you weren’t looking.
I say were under the assumption you came down yesterday. If, instead, you’re still up there at 8 pm the following day, then I will change my answer, because clearly you’ve lost your marbles and have yet to find them.
That photo looked even freakier in the email notification.
This is a screenshot of what little of it would fit on my screen, because the full image is so damn tall that it would probably break something here. Did not register in the slightest as acorns.
Nope. Not shingling. The kids were up there because they wanted to sit on the roof with their sketchbooks and apparently not use them. I guess inspiration didn’t strike them.
You did it just for the hell of it. Because climbing on your roof, taking a photo, and posting it here asking others the reason for it is how you get your jollies.
Nope, but thinking about it, though I typically only get on the roof once a year (not counting getting sent up by the wife to put up Christmas decorations).
This was supposed to be that one trip, but I think I must have done this activity a few months ago and forgot.
You owe us a response to the thread by now come on!!! Cleaning the gutters? Taking photos of the neighborhood? You bought some wifi cameras on meh and wanted to install them to keep surveillance on your house?
@jst1ofknd Tanning? When I did my junior year in Paris I tried tanning on the roof of the apartment block one time, but construction workers started hooting at me. Apparently I had the kind of body that excited both sexes. Well, maybe not both.
@jst1ofknd@reclaimercube I came to ask if it was for cleaning the gutters but I was beaten to it. I can’t believe we got this far without asking. That should’ve been one of the first questions.
True, but gutters are boring. If all of this suspense was just about him cleaning his @#$% gutters, we’d have to drag him back up on the roof and tie him there for a few hours weeks.
@jst1ofknd That’s odd. Probably not a good thing either in terms of fire safety. I’d imagine it must build up a lot of lint. Im lucky, mine vents out the wall directly behind the dryer. It has about a one foot run.
On your roof.
@RiotDemon
Yep. Why? Be outlandish. Make me laugh.
@jst1ofknd @RiotDemon
@jst1ofknd @RiotDemon @rockblossom #7 is the best! And I’d like to hear your dog story sometime.
@jst1ofknd @RiotDemon @rockblossom
11. Flood practice.
@mehbee @RiotDemon @rockblossom
I liked 7 and 9. Neither are correct though.

@Ignorant
For supposedly being ignorant, you know a lot. That will serve you well when I become GoaT.
Because someone put your fridge up there, and you really needed a battery.
@shahnm Keep your batteries in this instead.
@Targaryen I think you underestimate the quantity of batteries in question…
But for quick access, everyone should have these within easy reach of the places they most commonly hang out.
If you sell them, I will buy…
@Targaryen As an aside, this may be the single most useless thing I have seen in months. I must have some.
@shahnm Me too, I’ll try and get one soon and let you guys know how it goes. Unless Dave or someone cruises this thread and thinks the same thing as you do.

@nogoodwithnames SQUIRREL!!
You started to get irritated because the numbers were starting to taste like sounds of sunlight and jumping on cornbread just didn’t smell right?
You’re putting your Halloween decorations up?
@cinoclav @jst1ofknd You’re putting your Christmas decorations up!
@cinoclav @jksquared
No to both. No decorations were applied or removed from my house that trip.
Looks windy. Getting a downed limb off the roof.
@medz
Oklahoma is always windy, but no branches were removed. My kids, however, removed several huge acorns from the tree while we were up there.
@jst1ofknd
What, you have giant mutant acorns in Oklahoma? That might be worth a visit someday.
Oh, and you were
obviously up there looking for your keys, because you’ve looked everyplace else and are firm believer in the old saying that you’ll find them the last place you look. And because the squirrels took them when you weren’t looking.
OK, who broke the :asterisk_symbol:?
I’ve been forced to replace it with the inferior

@TheFLP
@TheFLP
I’m not still up there, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t lost my marbles.
@jst1ofknd
That photo looked even freakier in the email notification.
This is a screenshot of what little of it would fit on my screen, because the full image is so damn tall that it would probably break something here. Did not register in the slightest as acorns.
I might even have screamed.
@jst1ofknd @TheFLP Likely his marbles rolled off the roof… and then the dog ate them.
@Kidsandliz @TheFLP
I’m not saying you’re wrong…
The kids’ kite got stuck up there.
@compunaut
I did remove a child’s toy at the time, not one of mine nor the primary reason for the trip. Good guess though.
The cat couldn’t or wouldn’t come down.
@OldCatLady
My youngest son did put the cat on the roof, but that was after I was already up there and we did get the cat back down.
Shingling. What the heck were the kids doing, though?
@OldCatLady
Nope. Not shingling. The kids were up there because they wanted to sit on the roof with their sketchbooks and apparently not use them. I guess inspiration didn’t strike them.
Doing the egg-drop science experiment with your kids.
@mehcuda67
I’m imagining bundling the kids in bubble wrap and pushing them off the edge.
Nope, it wasn’t sciencey.
Shittin’ down the chimney
@farfromfunny
Yep because using the bathroom is sometimes too boring and you just want to stink up the living room.
Or rather, no.
This whole thread reminds me of a song.
Maybe the reason’s in here somewhere…
@2many2no
Good guess, but I don’t drink so I wasn’t drunk.
@2many2no Is that our Carl? Kinda looks like Carl. And it’s certainly a song Carl would sing.
You did it just for the hell of it. Because climbing on your roof, taking a photo, and posting it here asking others the reason for it is how you get your jollies.
@cinoclav
Good answer, but I did have a specific reason for going up there.
Hmm. I’m thinking one of three possibilities:
Or
Or
My bet is on bees. Bees are assholes.
@LemonTheCat
Nope.
Clearly it’s someone else’s roof and you’re waiting until they come home so you can do a flying frog splash on their face
@capguncowboy
It was my roof.
Speaking as someone who wouldn’t climb on the roof if you paid me, I think you were up there being crazy as a loon. And not getting paid for it.
@TheFLP
Heights don’t bother me.
@jst1ofknd
You’re on the damn roof again, aren’t you. Go ahead, make me look like a wimp.
(A wimp with both feet on the ground.
)
@TheFLP
Nope, but thinking about it, though I typically only get on the roof once a year (not counting getting sent up by the wife to put up Christmas decorations).
This was supposed to be that one trip, but I think I must have done this activity a few months ago and forgot.

TELL US
@reclaimercube
I will. After work I will finally reveal my purpose behind the trip to the roof.
@jst1ofknd don’t make promises you can’t keep
@reclaimercube
I can keep this one.
I will say that I was doing something that a lot of people need to do and I would say most people don’t need to get on the roof to do it.
@jst1ofknd Tanning? When I did my junior year in Paris I tried tanning on the roof of the apartment block one time, but construction workers started hooting at me. Apparently I had the kind of body that excited both sexes. Well, maybe not both.

@cinoclav @jst1ofknd @reclaimercube
True, but gutters are boring. If all of this suspense was just about him cleaning his @#$% gutters, we’d have to drag him back up on the roof and tie him there for a few
hoursweeks.And blame the whole thing on @reclaimercube, of course.
@cinoclav @reclaimercube @TheFLP
I hope ya’ll weren’t too disappointed. Though I never said it was exciting…
@cinoclav @jst1ofknd @reclaimercube
A dryer vent is marginally more exciting than gutters. As for why the @#$% it’s on your roof, that’s @reclaimercube’s problem.
I figured it out. You’re hiding from the Wicked Witch of the West.
@Stumpy91
Safest place because the wicked witch always looks under the house.
Washing windows and you took the pic to make sure when your done it looks the same from inside?
Trying to do something like those Dude Perfect trick shots from the roof.
Take# 324: “This…is the long ball.”
Doing one of those egg drop tests for science class.
/image egg drop test
@medz Sigh; see above.
@compunaut sigh. Was it cleaning the gutters?
I was cleaning out my dryer vent. For whatever reason, mine vents through the roof.
See @reclaimercube? I kept my promise.
@jst1ofknd
/giphy angry mob
@jst1ofknd That’s not good enough for me. How messy was it? Do I get any pictures of the sweat you went through?
@jst1ofknd That’s odd. Probably not a good thing either in terms of fire safety. I’d imagine it must build up a lot of lint. Im lucky, mine vents out the wall directly behind the dryer. It has about a one foot run.
@reclaimercube
It wasn’t messy at all. I really think I must have gone up there earlier this year to do it and forgot.
@cinoclav
Everyone with a dryer should clean out the vent. Dirty vents can lead to house fires.
@cinoclav @jst1ofknd What’s wrong with house fries!?
/image house fries
@capguncowboy @cinoclav
Those look good…
