That is just odd.

And so is the bot.

Or the bogeyman...

Soooo, for a YEAR he didn't notice somebody was leaving the toilet lid down?

I eated it.

CJ, it took us a year to figure out how odd you are.
Ok, not really, butt still.

I've got a spare closet if she's willing to vaccuum and do dishes. Seems like a win-win situation to me.

That's a heck of a dust bunny. Just sayin'.

She was writing a book . . .

In Manhattan he could have made a lot of money sub-letting that closet.

Had a guy break into my old house once. Cops couldn't find him so they figured he left. Wrong. He was in the closet.
Woulda been funnier with a little Japanese lady.

"The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone after becoming puzzled by food disappearing from his kitchen...."
Seems to me a good security camera would transmit images whether it was puzzled or not. Still, you gotta admire the way guys in Japan can program those things.

"Honestly, honey, I didn't know she was in there!"

Dangit beanie, you beat me to that punch line by 4:23. Pretty much lapped me by speed humor blogging standards.

I guess I can stop blaming my teen daughters when my mascara goes missing. "Sorry, girls!"
Posted by: baligurl | May 30, 2008 at 02:43 PM
She never burped, hiccoughed, coughed, sneezed, farted, or snored?
Posted by: Danny | May 30, 2008 at 02:45 PM
I smell a sitcom!
Posted by: daisyj | May 30, 2008 at 02:46 PM
daisyj, not a sitcom, but a Punk'd-style reality show. See how long a stranger can live in a house before anyone finds out!
Posted by: Braniff77 | May 30, 2008 at 02:53 PM
She can always go stay at David Letterman's house.....
Posted by: clark Kent | May 30, 2008 at 02:53 PM
My advice: Marry her!
Posted by: Dr. Bob | May 30, 2008 at 02:59 PM
um...waitaminit!
I see my missing post now. WTF?? judi?? are you toying with us??
Posted by: Siouxie | May 30, 2008 at 03:02 PM
A person can live in a house for a year undetected?
My three can't walk through the kitchen without leaving a trail of cr@p in their wake. Four, if you count the dog.
I'm not bitter. Just tired of cleaning.

judi can't come to the blog right now. She's hiding in the closet. Shhhh, don't tell the bot.

Cat R, sounds like you are going unnoticed in your own home.

As long as she didn't steal his beer, what's to notice?
Posted by: Suzy Q | May 30, 2008 at 04:10 PM
Hudge, you may be right. Maybe I should make a little more noise.
Posted by: Cat R | May 30, 2008 at 05:13 PM
I have lived with four sons and a tomboy daughter for over thirty years. There could be tribes of Japanese ladies living in their closets for all I know. Thankfully, I will never learn the gory details, because those closets are protected by an impenetrable minefield of personal belongs and unlaundered underwear. Sigh. I do not find this news story even slightly implausible. The foxes, on the other hand . . .
Posted by: christine | May 30, 2008 at 05:22 PM
finally, out of the closet...
Posted by: queensbee | May 30, 2008 at 05:32 PM
Honestly, I do not understand the unkind comments.
Posted by: christine | May 30, 2008 at 08:25 PM
A guy didn't notice something for a year. Until it involved his food.
I'm not surprised. Us girls would have noticed day 1 that someone didn't fold the towel in the bathroom correctly.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | May 30, 2008 at 08:55 PM
I gotta say...she sounds like the ideal house guest...
I guess she wasn't sweet enough to keep...but I'll bet that guy was a pig, anyway.
