- NightEmber79, on 11/11/2009, -2/+67OK, "Rob's Macaroni Salad" must now become a new euphemism for some depraved sex act.

- amabaie, on 11/11/2009, -1/+46I did read it and I don't think I could have written anything funnier if I tried. I'm glad I live out in the country where people live too far from each other to throw macaroni salad.
- eastwood24, on 11/11/2009, -0/+45Rob, as a fellow reasonable person, I feel you need to escalate the situation and show up at the next homeowner's assoc. meeting with an assortment of pies. The digg and burbia community would be most grateful.

The original email is pretty cash too. - Khast, on 11/11/2009, -0/+41Reason #3012 why home owner associations should be banned.
Homeowner associations are nothing but a money grab they do nothing for the actual home owners except tell you what you can and can't do. You buy a house, and SOMEONE ELSE can decide whether you should be allowed to live there...and over what ***** macaroni salad? Your ***** lawn is 2mm too long? Your tire treads are too bare or too aggressive? You don't drive a $40,000+ car daily? *****, can't these guys find anything more...uh, IMPORTANT to nit pick about? - tylerjohnson, on 11/11/2009, -6/+39I didn't even read it but the title made me crack up so I dugg it for that!
- necrosynthesis, on 11/11/2009, -1/+29For those who felt tl;dr,
Someone got their salad tossed. Messy situation. Neighbors offended. - AmyVernon, on 11/11/2009, -4/+29I've generally found the more bizarre and moronic (particularly the latter) things seem, the more likely they are to be true.
- Awwzm, on 11/11/2009, -0/+23Dave's dips sounds tasty
- Laminarcissus, on 11/11/2009, -2/+25It may well be fake, but your assumption that it's fake based on the content tells me that you've never been part of any community groups.
- MacBookForMe, on 11/11/2009, -0/+22Passionate people - passionte and rather silly reactions....
- haikuFU, on 11/11/2009, -1/+20You clearly have not been in an association. ***** ***** I tell you.
- johnn11238, on 11/11/2009, -8/+24"lawn chair" email war re-hash, and not 1/10th as funny.
- V1ruk, on 11/11/2009, -0/+15No, it's when you jizz on a girl, mushroom slap her, then throw diced peppers and green onion in her face.
Robs macaroni salad! - dstz, on 11/11/2009, -1/+16Hint: mayonnaise was thrown.
- d0kk3n, on 11/11/2009, -17/+32This isn't funny. After the "Lawn Chair" emails, everyone is trying their comedic stylings on this fake email *****. Someone obviously tried too hard on this.
fake. - haikuFU, on 11/11/2009, -0/+14Homeowner's associations started out as a method of keeping the neighborhood in order and everyone's resale value high. The idea being, "don't let it go to *****..."
But, the reason we see so many of them is because developers will go to a city and say "hey, we're going to build this huge ***** development and we need water/sewer/streets." The city, being that most of them are broke, don't want to pay for the building and the upkeep of water/sewer/streets, and the only way they will approve it is if the developer forms an association that covers the cost of maintenance with dues. So developers were doing this for awhile, and then they started to get the idea to dump the development on the city by dissolving the association. Which of course prompted more laws which make it illegal to dissolve an association that was formed to get the city to approve a development.
Associations, in theory, are great. In practice, they usually end up being run by some ***** dictators who will fine you if they don't like the shade of green on your grass. I'm in one now. Our bylaws are basically a skeleton. They pretty much say:
- No ***** cars parked on your grass or on blocks
- No motorhomes or boats outside on your property for more than a few hours (which I think is *****, should be at least a few days time limit)
- No one can build a house on an empty lot that is worth less than a certain amount of money (keeps some ***** from putting a trailer home next door to me)
But, that doesn't stop people from bitching about retarded ***** things that are not banned. Like, for example, my pickup. Someone bitched to high hell that it was parked in the street and it needed to be moved. Not in the bylaws. They wanted to make more bylaws to force me to move it. No one agreed, probably both because they don't give a *****, and probably because I let everyone use it whenever they want to haul *****.
Here's the problem. If everyone has one little ***** complaint, and those people get it written in the bylaws to punish others, then you end up living in a ***** nanny state. The people in a development 1/2 mile from me can paint there houses any color, as long as it is white. They can plant whatever they want in their yard, as long as it's from an approved list of plants and it's within 3 feet of their house. They can put in a fence... oh wait, they can't. They can plant trees... oh wait, that's not allowed either. They can wash their cars in their driveway... oh *****, forgot that they can't do that either. It's all because some ***** had a complaint, no one showed up to the meeting to vote against it, and the guy was buddy buddy with the people on the board (whose votes count for 2 instead of just 1).
But, you know what you can do to these people if they ***** with you? Get a 9 foot satellite dish and put the ***** thing in your front yard. It's illegal for them to make you remove it under the 1996 Telecommunications Act. And if they try, report them to the FCC and get them a hefty fine. *****, get 2 or 3 of them and start a dish farm on your front lawn. Even though you might not be parking your truck on the street anymore or doing whatever it is they banned, this is going to be way worse to them and they can't do ***** about it. - stratazzz, on 11/11/2009, -0/+14and it offended the entire community, who were present
- AmyVernon, on 11/11/2009, -0/+12You could probably get drunk off it.
- mrbroli, on 11/11/2009, -2/+14I don't know if this is real or not, but the CC email addresses might be tell-tale. As one commenter on the original page pointed out, hotmail.cem and hotmail.ccc aren't real domain names.
UPDATE: I tried them... yeah, they don't work. - TallestSkil, on 11/11/2009, -1/+13"Alas, the preceding proves me correct."
-- Albert Einstein - mrbroli, on 11/11/2009, -0/+11Found the original in my cache folder.

They're trying to make me look like a fool... and the other guy. - KevinRowz, on 11/11/2009, -0/+9We must purge the world of Pastafarians!
- Awwzm, on 11/11/2009, -0/+7And if you smoke, it could turn you into a circus act real fast.
- replaysMike, on 11/11/2009, -0/+7Salad tossing never ends up pleasant for either party.
- JasonCox, on 11/11/2009, -1/+8I for one hope this conflict escalates to 'chair towers'...
*clicks to read*
Ok, now I'm disappointed. - philosophile, on 11/11/2009, -4/+10Ugh, this is so painfully fake.
- goobly, on 11/11/2009, -1/+7You better watch what you say about His Noodliness. Consider that a threat.
- theOster, on 11/11/2009, -0/+6that in and of itself is enough for me. kudos sir
- 11oops, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5OK, there's a pic so I'll now GTFO. I rescind my previous comment and will cancel the appointment I made on your behalf with the optometrist.
- tomalakborg, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5we can do better than that...
- ultraJesus, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5Does anyone know how that ended? I stopped paying attention after a while.
- noahgelman, on 11/11/2009, -1/+6Maybe when you accidentally jizz on a dude in an an orgy?
- drmangrum, on 11/11/2009, -2/+7That's not mayonnaise.
- EricSchC1, on 11/12/2009, -1/+5Could be fake, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.
/former-association-member - FelixDrylock, on 11/11/2009, -1/+5I foresee a lot of responses to digg article being, "that was worse than rob's macaroni salad"
- defteats, on 11/11/2009, -0/+3I did read it, and that summary is a very succinct, accurate, and humorous take on it. Actually thought it was funnier than the email.
- db0255, on 11/11/2009, -1/+4"As the guy who was screaming finally pointed out..."
Yeah, guy who was screaming! The macaroni was awful! - Tiptup300, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3I miss the lawn chair war.
- Moralogic, on 11/11/2009, -2/+4I love this, I was on my seat after the last email wanting to know more.
- moxley, on 11/11/2009, -2/+4I think this is *****, just like the lawn furniture....
- inactive, on 11/11/2009, -0/+2Can somebody toss Rob's Mac Salad already before Dave blows his refreshment all over Carie's face?
- d0kk3n, on 11/11/2009, -1/+3I have been a part of many community groups. Have you been a part of a "Community"?
- Gerome42, on 11/11/2009, -2/+4I don't care if you think it's fake or not. Read it and enjoy it. Or not.
- slapded, on 11/11/2009, -0/+2anyone with a @aim.com account i cant take seriously
- RandyF, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2Adding my 2c as a *former* Condo Association member. If this was Mythbusters, it would get the big "Plausible" marker.
Even if it's fake, it's funny as hell. - balthisar, on 11/11/2009, -0/+2ScottyAnimal, I know you think that this isn't relevant to your question, but it is. Read through the whole article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T - kartman2001, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1***** home owners associations, they are down right communist.
- Ibox, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1better than @AOL.com
