Worthy of investigation

January 20, 2009 by Lauren 14 Comments

I was walking home today and saw the most peculiar thing.  Remember back in the summer when Brad and Lloyd walked with me to work and we saw the house up on stilts?  Well, it’s all done now with a real basement and windows and a porch and solar lights,

It’s downright purty.

and, of course,  a smoking chimney sticking up out of the yard.

Gnomes?  Skilled moles?

What the???  I don’t know what is up, but I must find out and incorporate it into my theory of all things heaty.

    Maybe it’s an air vent for HELL.

      Imagine this sign on the road into Seward – “Seward, Nebraska: Home to Concordia University and Gateway to Hell!”

    It could be a do-it-youself home crematorium. Hey, funeral costs are high these days.

      And extension to the basement with a wood burning stove in it?

    Maybe it’s just an old stove pipe that a bunch of boys found and stuck in the groud to pretend it’s for their home crematorium. Or pretend it’s a vent to HELL.

    My brothers would have done that.

    Maybe it’s an underground house to keep “that family member-the one everyone thinks died at birth” in.

      What was that movie with the creepy sister? Was it “Silence of the Lambs”? *jibblie* *jibblie*

    Maybe they are being proactive for when smoking is illegal and they made an underground smoking chamber.

      Hmmm, a place to wear a smoking jacket…

    Maybe it’s the chimney for Fraggle Rock!

    It’s certainly an underground incense burner for the closet liturgophile!

      That was what I was going to say. Only I couldn’t figure out how you would smuggle that much incense into town.
