Omni Boots

cheesoning: stress - I had a roommate in university who was always late with his share of the rent
cheesoning: always ALWAYS has money for weed, though
cheesoning: one day I came home from work and he had rearranged the living room
cheesoning: speakers and turntables (mine) centered and doing some kind of sound/light vibration/trip experiment
cheesoning: I said "you need to come up with your half of the rent or we'll have to move out"
cheesoning: he said "don't worry man, the revolution is near. And when the revolution comes..."
cheesoning: my response: "when the revolution comes, I'm kicking your ass in and taking all your shit."
ralph: I could never get you to HEAR me man
ralph: fascist
cheesoning: I bought boots JUST FOR HIS NECK

cheesoning: story addendum - the revolution did come for him - in the form of bad acid.
ralph: what was his end?
cheesoning: he freaked out one day, wrote a bunch of bad checks, then appeared to be suicidal (although I'm 99% certain that was his own way of filing bankruptcy/getting his folks to bail him out)
cheesoning: he left me behind two months rent, so offered me his car which hadn't run in a year.
cheesoning: I got $35 for it at the junkyard after putting enough carb cleaner in it to get it to run down the street. I'm quite sure that was the end of that car, too.
stresstwig: wow.
cheesoning: he blamed it all on drugs and told his folks he had a problem
cheesoning: so they took him back at home, put him in a six month treatment program, and then he just set up shop in a different town
stresstwig: at least you got a pair of boots out of it
cheesoning: (I made that part up for the lulz)
stresstwig: i am shocked and appalled, sir. good day.
cheesoning: I got a shiny dodge omni out of it which almost cost me $40/day fines from the city
stresstwig: I SAID GOOD DAY
cheesoning: THAT'S REAL
stresstwig: GOOD
stresstwig: DAY
