I think there may be birds living in the chimney - there's certainly a lot of chirping coming from there. 

I hope it's not monsters.

Close the flue and start a fire.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

I have some in my chimney as well.  I've grown rather fond of the chirping.

THey'll keep the creosote from building up and save you a TON in chimney sweeping.

I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

We've lived here for 7 years and had like one fire.  The chimney sweep isn't getting rich off of us.

At least tell me you made love in front of it.

We have screen over the top of our chimney to prevent chimney sweeps from building nests in it.

Dick Van Dyke built one in my chimney once.  Took me weeks to get rid of him.

I thought that chimney sweeps were supposed to clean stuff like nests and winos out of chimneys, not build nests in them.

The house that we lived in just after we married didn't have a screen over the chimney.  The birds would build nests in it.  Terry would have me build a small smokey fire in the fireplace so the birds would fly out of the chimney.  Then he would take aim with his shotgun and blast the birds to smithereens.  It was kinda funny yet sad at the same time.

You've never seen Mary Poppins??  How is that possible?  Wait - you just moved. Housewarming present!

Beefy

Mary Poppins is the only movie that Julie Andrews doesn't drive me nuts in.

Dry then Catch

i'll actually make a useful suggestion and say that one or two burnings won't require a chimney sweep, but should be enough to get the birds out.  if not you could vent some noxious volatile chemicals from there.

I prefer Victor Victoria.

Fry away.  :)

I think I am going to change my vote in the "Is Gamp mean?" thread.

They are feeding off of dead Santa.  You broke his heart when he found out you were Jewish.  He had a North Pole Hard Rock T all nicely wrapped for you.
