Hope that never happens to Stephen and his family again. Anyone who dares enter MY house is getting a broom and a list of chores to do.

That line cracked me up!
This is HUGELY inappropriate considering the subject matter of this thread, (here it comes) but the title of this thread keeps getting messed up in my head when I catch a glimpse of it... lets just say, has anybody here seen Val Kilmer's movie Top Secret?(I told you... HUGELY inappropriate.)
Didn't he hit one with a frying pan once when he found one in his house? I remember reading something like that.
Hadn't heard that one. (Aww, my favourite dunno guy has gone.)
Maybe I'm confusing it with something else.
I'm not sure--maybe I just haven't heard of it? Marsha will know.
Wacko... Hope Everyone is Alright... Perhaps an alarm system..or a 'Have guns, will use on intruders' sign. Maybe one of the Maine 'study' posters with the words 'Protected. Please Respect My Familys Privacy' ...
Maybe place a broom against the entrance door? Indicating that nobody is home? I wonder how far the argument would go (from some intruder/fan/space cowboy) that one is a walk-on from another time...just passing through? Was reading Kalle Päätalo...his Koillismaa series, about life in the north/north-east of Finland...turn-of-the-last-century to the 60s...and one of the things they did in that area...when not home...was place a broom against the door-handle. Don't bother to walk in unannounced, as was portrayed in the story, in other words. Same thing in Dickens' Bleak House...remember that scene where the well-intentioned lady went out to...save the world? She walks into houses and starts saving folk? Intruders...what can be done with them? Can't throw them down the stairs...can't boil their bones for soup.
Damn. That's terribles. Most of us would feel bad just looking at the house. ((SK and Family)))
...I swear, I never left the kitchen!....(this idiot needs smacked in the kisser with a wiffle bat....repeatedly)....
Perhaps he believes intruding is an open invitation. This guy just has no idea how to it must feel for others to come into your home. Shall we all check his out? Iam understanding its open invitation...
They weren't at the Bangor house when this happened.
That's good!
What kind of sicko stalks somebody like that? Must be some loser that's got such a miserable life that they need to fill it up with somebody else's.
(I told you... HUGELY inappropriate.)
I've seen it, butt you're making a big mistake.........
No, he wasn't at home when the intruder broke in quite a few years ago. Tabby was at home alone when that happened but she was able to get out and went to a neighbor's house to call the police who arrested him. I think he spent a couple of years as a guest of the state for that but it may have been worse because he claimed to have a bomb. He was upset because he wanted Stephen to provide him with an apartment, cigarettes, and contact lenses as I recall so that he could write a book and we had told him that would not be possible. He'd also had some other interesting *theories* he shared with me when he'd been at our office a few days prior to the break-in.
Holy cow. It must have been horribly unnerving to talk to this guy.
I think you have to have *problems* to do something like this.
Especially since I'd stupidly sat down at the desk in the reception area which was situated in such a way that I was blocked in unless I attempted to hop up on the desk and scale over the half wall to get to the door adding in the difficulty factor of wearing heels and a skirt. It was after that that we had cameras installed and the door is locked at all times and I don't repeat that mistake--I'm always aware of where my exit is.
He very clearly had *problems* but was aware of when he went too far as he would go off on his tangents and then bring himself back to discussing more mainstream topics. Scary guy.
