” …I’m available on weekends and I have a blackbelt in Karate !”
I prefer to move without the baggage.
The moving instructions said to pack the kids.
“I wasn’t worried about the baby, because he was in his play pen, but I did wonder how gramps would do.
“Somehow, they always find their way home.”
Don’t you think you’re going abit overboard.
please return the cage when you’re finished….my mother in law is coming this weekend.
“Do you think they will get picked on at the new school?”
They stopped asking “Are we there yet?” by the third state.
Sunshine Movers–expects in moving people.
Jill’s husband hated having neighbors so much that avoiding initial contact became far too natural.
(singing)
…so if you left your kids behind, call 877-SUNSHINE
When you told Grampa he could live with us, did you know he would bring all this stuff?
‘I think our new neighbors are going to fit right in, don’t you?’
“Child Welfare is coming tomorrow. I’m going to give that busy-body what’s coming to her! I use “AngleCake4DevilFood.com” child swapping services.”
I bought all this at ebay! The cannibal and that lamp were a real bargain.
This turned out to be much cheaper than airfare.
The children take after my husband’s side of the family.
Yes, our last name does happen to be Addams. Why do you ask?
Friday the 13th Part 26, Jason Goes To Florida!!!
“When I heard they were named Wally and Beaver, I expected different!”
“This new ritual they have for WWE Cage Match Pay-per-Views is getting a little ridiculous!”
It’s really been a picture perfect move…although they did lose my husband and Fido in Dallas.
“So… you say your last name is “Lechter?’”
“He’s taking them to the penalty box for not clearing the puck!”
“You ought to show the new neighbors around your sheep farm sometime!”
This modern art exhibit is get really wierd
This modern art exhibit is getting really weird
I don’t remember ordering a cannibal and a crook
There goes the neighborhood.
Trust me, Flat Stanley would flee if we gave him the chance.
Yes, he is so like his father, Hannibal.
This was such a moving experience for everyone.
“Where do you want him?”
We tried to sell him in the yard sale, but no takers.
Lecter is going in your room…
i think they handled the move better then most.
just put it over there next to the other pull lamp
this move actually when smoother then what i predicted.
(singing)
“Happy, Shiny people holding hands…..”
When you’ve lived on Mockingbird Lane as long as I have deary, it just becomes another day in the neighborhood.
It’s so nice that you packed Dad a boxed lunch!
“WEDNESDAY’S LIFE LESSON: The irresistible force meets the immovable object”
Cruel and unusual furnishment.
“That’s what we use for dart practice. It can go in the basement.”
“Don’t just stand there Liz. Take your brother to his room.”
“How about Moonshine Movers instead. We could use a little excitement around here!”
“Well, it looks like Scarecrow is pushing the Tin Man on the dolly. The Lion’s in the cage. How about you be Dorthy and I’ll be Antie Em?”
“I promised to trade ‘pets’. I didn’t know they had the same idea in mind.”
Could be worse.. Could be Lindsay Lohan.
Doesn’t it seem like doctors are diagnosing every child with ADD and ADHD these days?
Liz, thanks for watching the kids, but whatever you do, don’t establish eye contact, don’t turn your back on them, or catch you touching their food. The last sitter is still in traction from blowing on Billy’s mac and cheese to cool it down.
I got the idea off a cell phone commercial and wondered why I never thought of it before.
Ah, I see Cerberus’s toys have made it in one piece. He’s still a puppy.
Mom never backed down on her threats, ever.
Mom and Dad really wanted to get their money’s worth.
They really liked their old house.
Who knew that wishes actually came true?
“Oh my! Where did you ever find such a cute lamp?”
“It’s not what you think. Tommy loves “Silence of the Lambs” and Bobby thinks he’s Carmen Diaz in “Being John Malkovich”.
“We packed Grandma in the bureau!”
“Yeah, I got the kids and half the marital assets.”
I see your children, little Jason and Igor, made the trip okay.
When they said they move everything they meant it.
Mom said you have to go back for the bodies.
Too bad Lisa, daddy told the mover I’m the best kisser.
Little Hannibal and Little Jason finally arrived and can’t wait to get acquainted with their new neighbors.
It’s so sweet of you to welcome us to the neighborhood! We must have you and your family for dinner!
I TOLD you that crazy movie would
give creeps like him material! He even named his company after it!
“Come on MOM, this would be the time to RUN!”
Darlene’s subsequent litigation with Sunshine Movers lunatic mix up worked in her favor after the liver and fava bean incident.
Sunshine Movers did more business after renaming themselves from “You Commit ‘em, We Submit ‘em”.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the dolly.
Ann’s idea to keep nosy neighbors from dropping in had always worked until they moved onto Wisteria Lane.
“Yes, I think that’s a good idea for separating the kids.”
“ooh, that Sunshine superman can blow my little mind anytime.”
“You’d think Witness Protection could provide a better looking mask.”
“I can see the boy took after your side of the family.”
“whoa, that’s one serious case of butt ugly.”
“This is Eddie, our loan officer, coming to collect our first mortgage payment”
“I wasn’t really insulted until I saw that awful lamp they have!”
Wait to you see what he unloads next.
Upon the arrival of the new neighbors lovers Cindy and Lisa knew their status as “neighborhood freaks” would soon die down.
I practise tough love.
They wouldn’t look at me when I was talking to them.
Where do you want him?
**Nevermind my last post at 9:59 am. I didn’t see that Andrea Hodge had already submitted the same caption earlier in the contest. My mistake, sorry about that.
Maybe we should have checked,”Adventurous” than “Other” in personality on Sunshine Movers compdate service.
There goes the neighborhood.
Its easier to ship them overnight. They’ll like being taped inside the box.
We had to move.
You have kids? Great. Let’s schedule a playdate.
Well, if nothing else we’ve proven that a same-sex couple can screw up kids just a well as a hetero couple.
“Well i had to do something with the pieces i wasnt using!”
Children shipped free. Insane grandparents subject to regular rates and conditions. Meals not included.
what do you mean you forgot to pack the dog
You know, like father like son.
You’ll have to come for dinner when we get settled.
I don’t know who missed the baby sitter more, my husband or my child
I’ll send them over to play as soon as we unpack them.
And how many foster children do you have?
“The moving company’s slogan was so true,” Marge said to her sister, “it really is sunnier when EVERYTHING is packed in the back of the truck.”
Ever heard of cops and robbers? Well they like to play movers and furniture…
Don’t be alarmed. We just packed the precious little darlings carefully.
“The people at DYFS looked at his father and thought it might be a good idea to get him used to the idea of confined spaces!”
This was SO MUCH CHEAPER than an airplane ticket!
“Hey bridget, I wonder if they know about the house being haunted yet???”
“but the ebay listing said Mahogany…”
OH CRAP! Why is Jason in the dog crate, and where the hell is the dog!? QUICK! Go find Hannibal’s spare mask!
OMG! That is just wrong! Look how outdated that lamp is!
“Are you getting low on your Prozac dear?”
Put him in the actic; he keeps on rambling about lotion, skin, and other stuff.
My goodness! That is the most horrific thing I have ever seen! The caged boy and the other fellow are quite cute though.
This is some flagrant false advertisement…
“Anna Belle Lecktor… that’s such a pretty name – welcome to our neighborhood.”
“Does he still use that ‘quid pro quo’ line?”
“You say your husband is trying a different approach to becoming a vegetarian, Mrs. Lecktor?”
“Take it from me, dear, you can change the location of the barn, but they’re still animals.”
“That’s alright, dear, given the economy and housing crisis, the neighborhood’s gone to hell anyway.”
Think these guys could handle our vacations too?
‘Sunshine Movers’ taking away every little bit of sunshine you might feel.
“Anna Belle Lecktor… that’s such a pretty name – welcome to our neighborhood.”
