When word got back to my dad's friend he was so mad. Didn't talk to my dad for a couple of months. Eventually when he finally sold the house they made up and joked about it for years after. Anyway: anyone in German Village wanna come over and help me with something? I've enjoyed having no neighbor.

I lived in an apartment for a year when the landlord sold it to someone new. That new person was a realtor, and we had conflicts; she claimed I had not extended my lease and attempted to raise my rent. When I was ready to move, she conveniently found the lease extension to keep me one more month.

I had a day or two left and was cleaning the place and we arranged for a key-drop. She had scheduled a visit from a potential new tenant in the same time slot. I came over early to wrap up and she had already changed the locks, trapping my vacuum and some cleaning supplies in the unit.

I think I did bust her sale though when I answered some questions about the cost of heat/utilities for the prospect. “You can go now,” said the landlord. Some real B.S. that was.

That is indeed a funny story. I try to avoid introducing something as interesting or funny because often the listener thinks it is stupid or boring. Bad set-up. You, sir, had the floor and held it.

Take a photo with the Cup of Coffee coffee cup and choose between getting a newsletter item published or helping Craig with a fun new project...

I feel like you could launch a scene without assistance too.

Hey, they claim the parts of Franklin University near Main Street, and that's close! And on a nice day I often walk up to the north part of downtown!

So you're claim is only accurate if....Franklin University makes it possible?

Scooby Doo that shit! Hit up Target for a sheet and some chains. Get an accordion and be the Kraut Monster or something.
