Is this in bad taste?
So I've been living in an apartment for just under 2 years now and the neighbor behind us lives in a house that has a pretty nice backyard. I figure the guy is in his mid 30s to be able to afford the place because he seems young and takes advantage of his nice yard.
Thing is, he takes a little too much advantage of it. He has BBQs and pit fires all the time and all the smoke fills my apartment. I think he's rebuilt his deck 3 times because almost every sunny Saturday or Sunday the hammers start banging at about 8, I'm chronically hungover from it. It seems that almost every night I'm sitting there eating my half-assed tuna sandwich and he starts cedar plank grilling up some salmon, it's just not fair. He'll have parties and crank the music REALLY loud when it seems it's just him there by himself, seems like a fun guy.
I'm not really complaining because it is exactly what I would do in his situation, and I'm sure if I went to talk to him about it we would probably end up becoming friends. But I found out something about him last night: He's a Beaver fan.
After watching the Utah/OSU game and hearing his overly excited reactions I had a great idea. Come Civil War, IF we win, I'm going here and ordering 600 little buddies to lay out on the sidewalk in front of his house. I was thinking about hucking them in to his back yard but 600 rubber duckies staring you in the face when you open the front door might be a little more alarming. What do you think?

Do it, do it, do it!
Then set up a hidden video camera in front of his house and post his reaction on here.
Btw, yes, yes it is in bad taste

Oh Man
It would be creepy…like the BK commercial where the King is outside the dude’s house. You could call Macadam’s Bar and Grill and ask where they got their little ducks. I went there for the game last week and they had a bunch of them in jerseys and stuff. They had to have been cheap. I can’t see them spending a bunch of money on them just for people to take with them.
Oh! Which reminds me. After yet ANOTHER b.s. pass interference call, my buddy took one of the ducks that had a ref jersey on it and cut the head 90% of the way off. After that we didn’t get any more bad calls against us. I took it with me and I’m gonna use it like a little PAC10-ref-voodoo-doll.
I like the yellow helmets!

Hilarious yes, but bad taste
Let him know your plan and then come up with a return if the Beavs win

You can save yourself a BUNCH of money...
…just come collect all the rubber duckies from the Reser urinals after the Civil War. They will be there.
Too bad duck fans can’t afford tickets in Reser though.

which stadium sells out and which one is empty all the time?
Can’t say I blame the Beaver fans, though. Burger flipping isn’t exactly the highest paying of jobs.
