Ger to be Different

Woke up this morning to discover that overnight somebody, for some reason, erected a ger on the corner of my courtyard's basketball court (try saying "courtyard court corner" ten times fast). Now maybe that's just remarkably bold squatting, or maybe, as I'm more inclined to believe, it's an advance intergalactic recon pod cleverly disguised as a ger. The aliens are simply unaware that one does not ordinarily place dwellings on teenage-infested sport slabs. What's your theory?

Well, if someone parked a camper on the cul de sac, I wouldn't wonder about that. Visiting family or friends in the area? Maybe there's a funeral or a wedding or something.

Perhaps the sound of bouncing balls is soothing to these beings from a far-off world. If they emerge for a game of pick-up, look out: The rules are much different on Planet Zaxon-B (mainly because the gravity is so much weaker here.)

Oh,
I forgot to warn you that I was moving in. Come on over for a cup of sutai tsai!

UB ONLY WHITE LAMA OF RED,
THE GER BUILT ON YOUR "COURTYARD COURT CORNER" LOOKS LIKE A GER FOR A FUNERAL. THE GER IS FOR COOKING THE ADDITIONAL FOODS FOR PEOPLE WHO COME TO EXPRESS THEIR CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY, AND PREPARING SOME OTHER THINGS, NEEDED FOR THE FUNERAL. IT HAS BEEN POPULAR IN UB FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN APARTMENTS DUE TO APARTMENTS' LIMITED SPACE.

I'm inclined to believe Sukhee, but perhaps it's a place for people to warm up in cold weather.

Obviously it's a new y(og)urt stand!

And here is a link on how to build a ger of your own:

The cheerleaders need to have somewhere to change into their little skirts, no?

Although Sukhee's suggestion seems to be the most plausible, I like Franklin's the best... :)
