Somehow I read TFA as 'man finds thirteen trombones in backyard' which would be more interesting, if more inexplicable.

From the linked articled in the article subby posted.

This is not the first incident of veteran markers being removed from graves. In June 2010, several headstones were found in a creek bed in the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

DAFUQ?

sesquipedaliophobia: fear of a foot and a half.

I would have thought that it would apply to most of the female population of the world (and a fair percentage of the males).

I think I'll go hide for a while before the boogie man gets me.

Actually, it is pretty common for homeowners to find old grave markers in old homes being used for garden walkways or, in one instance here in the midwest, being used for a basement floor. Often, the markers were engraved with errors and sold off by the monument company for such purposes.

I have chrometophobia which can make things rather difficult at times. I've had to explain to people I'm working with that I can't talk about or think about the money. Just let me do my work and then give me an envelope with my payment when it's all over. I don't want to talk about how much I'm getting paid or when I'm getting paid. Just pay me what you honestly think my work is worth and leave it at that.

Needless to say, producers absolutely love this since they know I won't be squabbling over the pay. For my acting and music work this works great and the people I work with are able to accommodate my phobia quite easily.

For my illustration work it's not quite that easy so I've found it's easiest to just get my boyfriend to act as my agent and take care of the money issues for me.

Live performance work is very difficult for me if I'm doing a solo performance. If I'm performing with a group I get someone in the group to deal with the money issues but if I'm on my own and my boyfriend isn't there to handle the money matters I often end up leaving the venue without getting paid rather than deal with my phobia head on.

Very few people are able to understand chrometophobia and many people think it's something made-up. "How the hell can anyone be afraid of money?" is the most common question I get about it.

Money used to kick my ass and take my lunch money, so while I can't completely understand, I sympathize.

Well, what did he expect? His backyard is Arlington National Cemetery. I'm surprised it took him a year to find 13. I can easily count more than that in the picture.

M-cubed,

Shop threads scare me, man.

wtf?
