I've never had a calzone there, but I think it's the closest calzone option to my office. Potbelly might win out for being closer and faster, now that I've wasted my morning with in-joke street signs.

Oversized Mobility Scooter

I wait for my bus line 2 while I am sitting in my power wheelchair (normal size) at 22nd/Franklin Ave, rolled into secured area. While riding my bus to the Lyndale/Franklin Ave, I saw a oversized mobility scooter at Bloomington/Franklin Ave, the elderly woman’s scooter face forward onto the lift, the driver told elderly “Turn around and backward onto lift”, she little bit of fericous (sp?) and not want go backward instead she using forward onto the lift, the scooter went into wheelchair secured area next to me.

Okay, next few stops, another elderly hopped onto bus and put her fare into box and asked passenger “Can I have change for $1 dollars”, I told elderly at box “Nope!, Change at the store” and driver told her get off the bus and change at the store, she got off in next block. Finally at the Nicollet/Franklin Ave the elderly in oversized scooter need to get off the bus. she going backward in the alisle to the lift, hard to manuvering, and she threw her cane to her grandson outside of front door. Oh boy! that bitchin’ in the oversized scooter need to learn how to use backward onto lift.

NOPE! CHANGE AT STORE, BITCHINS!

― dr ghost rider (a_p), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 14:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i just don't actually understand what a single word you just said means, is the problem.

i have a question guys:

my roommate reminded me midweek last week that his parents are visiting "for the weekend".

"ok cool"

they'll be staying here

"...in our TINY house?"

yeah.

"um, ok. when are they getting here?"

saturday

"saturday? not gonna have much time then, huh?"

well, i have no idea how long they're staying

"...UH"

my mom's got the week off, she's a teacher.

"...they might be staying in our tiny house for a WEEK?"

I guess, so, yeah! :D oh, wait, yep, it's a definite. they're staying for a week! gonna throw us an awesome BBQ next saturday!

"...i hate you"

my question: wtf am i crazy or is this totally out of line??? i mean, dude is still in college and 3-4 years younger than me and all, but this is MY HOUSE. YOU CAN'T INVITE PPL OVER FOR A WEEK, RIGHT< EVEN IF THEY"RE YOU'RE ADMITTEDLY VERY NICE PARENTS???

even my keyboard is fucked up about this

― kissing, drinking, and insect songs (gbx), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah wow, that seems pretty damn uncool? aren't parents supposed to spring for hotel rooms?

― dr ghost rider (a_p), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

on the other hand, sure it's total bullshit, but you get an awesome BBQ!

― dr ghost rider (a_p), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i know right?? they rolled up in a Benz (they drove here), so it's not like they can't afford a room!

i feel like a stranger in my own home. A STRANGER.

xp BITCHIN'!

― kissing, drinking, and insect songs (gbx), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

That bitchin' elderly need to learn how to use hotel 8.

Saturday is just far enough away that a plate of fish guts slipped under the stove is going to smell REALLY BAD by the weekend. I say make the house un-liveable and sleep in the library until parentals clear out.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

you should srsly tell elderly to "Turn around and backward onto lift"

― dr ghost rider (a_p), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

that is totally out of line!

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

it's not bitchin at all either, i'd be pissed off. if your roommate had given you warning, it'd be one thing.

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean, really i just want to be able to smoke weed and play guitar badly w/o feeling like i'm pissing anyone off that isn't (a) my roommate and (b) my neighbors, cuz that ship has SAILED

xp - that is one nice thing, tho, L. his mom basically walked into the house and shit magically got clean. i'm not even kdding. so that's nice i guess

― kissing, drinking, and insect songs (gbx), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

no that is completely uncool, he should've asked you well in advance if this was ok? i'm trying to imagine what i would do if tom or steph4nie or esth3r or any other roommate-type-situation did that to me and the answer is obviously file for divorce immediately (tom only, wasn't married to either of those other ladies ;_;) and go crash with someone else for the rest of time, so dude i say you just kill them and steal their bbq sauce.

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

having his parents there shouldn't stop you from smoking weed and playing guitar

― break machine (Brian Miller), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

yea, no warning. well, about the WEEK LONG part. i figured two nights over teh weekend wouldn't be that bad. probably get a free meal or two. but this is just bananas.

i'm gonna steal their benz

― kissing, drinking, and insect songs (gbx), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Crash over at hottie's apt that week and have casual sex.

yeah klg almost invited an auxillary australian to stay with us last year, someone whom we did not know and had never met and Meg, our australian who was staying with with us (and was someone we knew) had just met and i was on needles and pins for a bit.

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

i think i'll just petulantly eat all his food

― kissing, drinking, and insect songs (gbx), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

and smoke his weeds

― kissing, drinking, and insect songs (gbx), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

you all really need to try enacting the whole "no one crashes here at all unless it is 5am and perhaps vomiting will occur" rule that i have at my place. i learned my lesson the hard way when houseguests at my studio apt in nyc decided to just stay on for A YEAR OR SO.

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

yes on the food eating and weed smoking but reverse the order so you can really put a dent in his food. also: stop bathing.

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

rub one out in the living room while they're having breakfast, that ought to do it.

Dude, I KNOW you can charm his mother. His parents will love you SO MUCH because you clearly have way better life skills and can get the party/charcoal started for BBQ, and they'll be so glad you live with THEIR DARLING SUNGGG. And then get them to clean everything, buy you groceries for the house, maybe pick up two decent chairs for the porch/yard etc etc. You win!

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

except for the part that he has invaders in his living situation.

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

oh also an important fact: your roomie's still in college. so he's still sorta dumb? VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS NOT ALL ACQUIRED YET, STILL AT 73% POWER LEVEL

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean honestly? staying with families really, really sucks and it makes me go mental. i mean, not like MY family specifically either, staying with anyone's family and having to be all polite and shit and go smoke somewhere appropriate and get woken up at fucking 8am cos old ppl be crazy and blah blah blah blah blah. uggggggggggggh do not want.

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah Ally but this is the roommate who left raw ground beef on the kitchen counter for like three days, is the thing. If this person's mother is willing to sanitize/degrease/polish all household surfaces, it might just be worth it for a clean start.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:26 (seventeen years ago) link

raw beef on the counter revitalizes pores and provided much needed nutrients to the air.

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Tuesday, 27 March 2007 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

You get his parents to buy you weed. They become your new party friends. Roommate is embarrassed and spends week hanging with socially retarded foreign exchange students. You wear sunglasses and do bong shots with cheerleaders. HA HA FUCKER

ehhhhhhhh but at the end of the day yr still living with that dude and he'll just fuck it up again so it's not a winning proposition in my mind. it's like my friend tony. he keeps hiring a maid service to clean their house but thing is at the end of the day he still lives with luke and luke's feral cat and feral pug so why bother. tony is v v neat and organized and clean and his room is always in perfect order, but the rest of the house is just going to look like one of those houses that get raided by the aspca to remove animals from an elderly, senile hoarder. because he lives with an alcoholic wow addict, occasionally said-person's white trash girlfriend, and his filthy cat and dog. WHY BOTHER.
