Did you use a big enough nut and bolt there Butch.

In doing so, it looks like you got screwed. ;D

Oh, I thought that he just received the electric bill.

Looks like the guy who did the job screwed you ! (And yes I know it’s a bolt and nut)

Oh, and as an added bonus, I don’t have to worry about a huge earthquake shaking my house off of its foundation.

What’s it like living next door to the nut house? Does it make you want to bolt?

Bleeb: “Let me out!”

not sure this is a good substitute, but who am I to judge…

Apparently the diagram instruction sheet was viewed upside down.

Oh, that’s just nuts!

Bleep is trying to run away.

What a nut.

Steely reserve.

Totally lost here. What happened. Did he go “nuts”?

It seems that every time I come across a new nut I need to go and buy a new wrench!

The bad news is he no longer has a kitchen.

“Yep! I bolted the ol’ house down… now that sucker ain’t goin’ anywhere! By the way, there’s some kinda weird bug in your upstairs window!”

“Yeah, I know… there’s one in your door window, too. Say, what size bolt is that… and where can I pick one up?”

Maybe there was a screw loose

The duct tape stopped working.

Where did you buy the wrench?

Can Bleeb come out and play?

LOL! It reminds me of something I would say when I was a kid and I’d go spinning around and around making myself dizzy. I’d be looking at the floor and while I was doing it I would say “The house is unscrewing! The house is unscrewing!”

I don’t get this one at all. And what’s with the nuts and bolts comments?
