Mrs. Olsen: That does it. My idiot neighbors' fireworks broke my best garden gnome. Frazz: Uh-oh. Mrs. Olsen: I'm hauling out my... Frazz: NO! Mrs. Olsen: Sewing machine. Wizard: What are the odds they'll be scared by the ghost of busteddorff? What are the odds people who have been shooting off fireworks for five days have been drinking five days?

My best guess: Her best garden gnome that was broken (busted) was named “Dorf”, probably after Tim Conway’s character.

Busteddorff?? It sounds similar to Dumbledore. (of Hogwarts)

NG, I am not making any sort of judgement on alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana….. but your statement of “high off the carcingenic cigarettes” has me confused.Never having sampled marijuana myself… I cannot fully understand what being “high” means…. but I have presumed the term referred to being intoxicated in some fashion.As a pipe tobacco smoker myself, the term “high” as in intoxicated, does not really fit as a descriptor in my understanding of tobacco use. So, I guess I am asking for clarification of what you are meaning by your statement.

Of course it is just as likely that your neighbor used a rock, rather than a firework, to break your gnome.
