The relationship between neighbors is a fascinating one.  You live so close to a person yet, in some cases, you may know next to nothing about them. But then again, they may know next to nothing about you. If that's the case, what's the harm in freaking out your neighbor a bit?  It's a great way to procrastinate doing yard work or spend a lazy Sunday. Here are some suggestions:

• Cover your entire lawn with a huge tarp. When your neighbor asks why, mysteriously tell him it's to "keep the evil from spreading."

• On Halloween, stop by his house in costume for trick or treat -- dressed exactly like him.

• In your next conversation, respond to everything he says with "Whatever you say, Matlock." (This method will be much more successful if your neighbor is actually a lawyer.)

• Tell him your TiVo is broken and tearfully beg him to record the "Full House" marathon for you.

• Install Klieg lights on your roof that shine directly on his house.

• Tell him you've become aware of the strong resemblance between him and your youngest son.

• Get a baby piglet, wrap it in a blanket and tell him it's your new baby.

• The next time you see him, tell him the tunnel connecting your house to his is almost finished, then give a knowing wink.

• Strike up a conversation about the Beatles. When he mentions them by name, violently contradict him, maintaining that their real names are Bob, Frank, Rudy and Wes.

• At the next neighborhood block party, very obviously hand him a small package, and loudly telling him that you have a reputation to think off and you want no part of his side business.
