Could it be a prank? Actually, it reminds me of those brain teasers that you have to solve by asking yes/no questions.

You sound so calm about it. If it were me, I think I'd be freaking out. :S

I don't think someone would come in and switch our gas on as a prank - they'd look rather silly later after we'd blown up the house.

I'm surprised myself at how calm I am about this. I'm usually panicky and paranoid...I wonder if the flatmate has been slipping things into my tea.

I think you are being unfair in saying that, just because they play with your underwear, said hobbits are sex-obsessed. There is a very strong assumption here that all male hobbits are heterosexual and all females hobbits are homosexual. (looks ponderous) This would explain why hobbits are nearly extinct, though.

Maybe they just like the satisfying twang of an elastic bra-strap. Maybe they ran out of panna-cotta moulds. Who knows.

...or that all Hobbits are bisexual and my underwear is just too glorious to resist.

And what about the Vaseline, hmm? Explain that away!

(Panna-cotta moulds? I am horrified)

this reminds me of the time when i was in class 5. every tuesday we used to have yoga in the class just before lunch. and when we returned from the yoga class, half the people would claim that their lunch boxes had been broken into! and some people found some cat marks in the class and on the walls outside and all that. super fun it was, especially since i never lost any lunch

and i slightly misinterpreted the line "Meanwhile, applegnat is having kittens over the gas." and my first thought was "how cruel/gross"!

[thedilettante]

I find it suspicious that you never lost lunch.

Also, we like kittens and would never do such things to them. Baby humans, now, are another issue - but applegnat is worried that this would have a negative impact on her reproductive system.

Eep, how incredibly disconcerting and bizarre. I hope that things sort themselves out soon.

We're dealing with it through denial and hilarity. I'm not sure this is a great idea, but hey. :)

We've been trying to work out what kind of person would sneak into a house, turn the gas on, use up the vaseline, play with the tenants' underwear and depart with mushrooms. Sex obsessed and suicidal Hobbits are the best thing we can come up with, but do let us know if you think of anything better.

Quote of 2008 so far. :-)

I try. :D
