You mean artisanally crafted traditional meth, made from his Uncle Walter's famous recipe?

u/Motorcyclegrrl May 14 '26

Artisanal meth, of course it is.

So one person has a decorative rock for a neighbor, another has a neighbor that makes recreational rocks.

This is my neighbor Nursultan Tulyakby, he is pain in my assholes. I get a step, he must get a step. I get window of a glass, he get window of a glass. I get clock radio, he cannot afford, great success!

u/FloofySnekWhiskers May 14 '26

I bet his name is Rocky, right?

u/alberthere May 14 '26

He has to, so he doesn’t get caught peeing on your decorative rock.

2

u/gadgetwalrus May 14 '26

Only because you hid him under the rock

u/Nitrogen1234 May 14 '26

Solid guy, but stoned all day

u/BronxBully718 May 14 '26

I’m sure Rex Heuermann’s neighbors probably said the same thing

u/StressFantastic5317 May 14 '26

u/_WillCAD_ May 13 '26

But, like, in a good way or a bad way?

1

u/ArjJp May 14 '26

There's a bad way?

u/BronxBully718 May 14 '26

u/Pangea_Ultima May 13 '26

No I believe he’s talking the dog being his neighbor

2

u/ravenschmidt2000 May 14 '26

I wish my neighbor was a decorative rock.

1

u/jamesianm May 14 '26

Give it a few million years. 

Actually not nearly that long.  Really it only takes about a century for most people to end up as decorative rocks

2

u/lotofthought May 14 '26

I can’t see mine so he must be decorative John cena

2

u/godofmilksteaks May 14 '26

Well, what do you think happens to all those pet rocks? They gotta grow up and start taking on responsibilities at some point.

1

u/skid_marks6969 May 14 '26

Well whats left of him after the sacrifice...

u/Environmental_Fig942 May 13 '26

Scientists were able to conclude the urine was placed every full moon. Once again science has created more questions than it has answered. Back to you in the studio.

u/ir88ed May 14 '26

He was a bit of an ass, but had this wishing pebble and for some reason wished he was a rock.

1

u/Praseodymium5 May 14 '26

And the taste..

1

u/Oregongirl1018 May 14 '26

He probably pees there too.

27

u/OstentatiousSock May 13 '26

And here it is adorned with bird droppings of their sacred bird: the pigeon.

u/stol_ansikte May 13 '26

My grandparents had a decorate stone in their Summer house that we always pissed on. There they will found ample evidence of rituals.

u/destroyerOfTards May 14 '26

Like someone said above, it's adorned with pigeon droppings. Congrats, you now have Henta virus.

u/SU37Yellow May 13 '26

We can only imagine what barbaric ways they harvested this canine urine

1

u/rinwasrep May 14 '26

Seasonally it seems to be specifically wold urine… perhaps an age of rabbits.

1

u/Waveofspring May 15 '26

There is bird droppings on top of it, suggesting that they worshipped birds
