Why I’m ready to move

March 27th, 2006

This closet door in our apartment building was the hapless victim of drunken party-goers. Who knows where the rest of the door went. Ripped off its hinges and taken as a souvenir, I imagine.

  1. and you want to leave this magical place?!? that’s amazing! look at those cool shards lying on the floor that little Wally will be able to use for teething.. mmh, mmh, fiberous! okay, well maybe you have a point, but still… I’m sure that half-a-door is making one fantastic sled tied to the back of someone’s toyota tundra right now.

  2. tell samson…I mean sharon that she really needs to give the door back before you all move or they will keep your security deposit…and hide the carcasses of the the 1,000 Illini she slew with the conspicuously absent fire extinguisher from the local authorities. after all, you are a pastor.

  3. acb: “wally”? ...for the love of mercy. this place is magical like puff the magic dragon is magical. you figure it out. the sled idea is pretty sweet, though. if you try it, let me know. ;)

    jbrock: you promised you’d keep quiet about that incident! besides, you’re getting the story all wrong. she slew them with the jawbone of the magical cat that appears randomly in our windows (or so one of the maintenance workers said, thus leading our landlords to attempt to levy a $500 pet fine upon us). the twin morals of this story are: 1) don’t smoke magical things while you’re doing maintenance work, and 2) don’t mess with Sharon. our landlords found this out the hard way when she strode into the rental office, fine letter in hand, and demanded documentation (photos, etc.) proving that we had a cat in our apartment. they had none, of course, and dropped the fine rather quickly… and made a mental note to leave Sharon alone. and no, we’ve never had a cat, magical or otherwise.

  4. dude, that’s so cool.. Sharon is freaking sweet… well, not sweet sweet… more like shweeet sweet. Can Sharon get any cooler? I submit that she cannot!

  5. Okay, I’m a bit behind but the hymnal thing is HYSTERICAL!!! I mean laugh out loud, scare the kids, and almost wet my pants (yes literally!) hysterical!!!! Aaron rocks and just made my hum-drum life!!! And the door? There’s nothing to say. But I think our across-the-street-neighbor’s car alarm might rival the party crowd on your block – goes off 8-10x per 15 minutes…yes, “I love city life!”

  7. I would just like to point out that my porky fingers certainly DO NOT think Sharon is cool…....so much so, that they took their wrath out on that poor defenseless door. What a shame.
