shutitdown: livin' for the anecdote

<< shutitdown: taking one for the anecdote

Pretty Boy Floyd.

So I was just home, minding my own business, watching Mr. Show (if you don't have this, you should get it), when all of sudden I hear pounding on my door. Now, most of my friends know that I am just a tad too neurotic to deal with unannouced drop-in guests, but it is for precisely this reason that some of these so-called "friends" come around without calling. Bitches.

So when I heard a pounding on my door at 10 pm this evening, I assumed that it must be one of my little buddies.

I said, "Who is it?"

A man answered.

Now I wanted to quote the conversation verbatim, but he was too out-of-control for me to be able to accurately describe precisely what he was saying. To sum it up, he identified himself as Pretty boy Floyd with the Baby Blue Eyes, and repeated this and other things at a speed which was intelligible yet terrifying.

The other things were things that almost rhymed and had the effect of bolstering his claims of being THE Pretty boy Floyd. At this point, I still thought this was a joke from one of my retarded friends. But then I looked through the peephole and saw grey hair.

Yes, I like older men. But not like this. None of my friends look like this. And that's when I got scared. There was a freak in some sort of methamphetamine-induced psychosis pounding on my doors and windows trying to get into my apartment. I said, "Who are you looking for?" The woman who moved out of this apartment a few months ago was 93. I don't think this was one of her friends. He said, "THE CREAM. THE CREAM, MAN, THE CREAM."

Pretty boy Floyd was at my door in search of the cream.

At this point, I shat myself and then yelled to Floyd "I am calling the police!" I said it again. "Police!" I actually picked up the phone. I was watching him through the window he was trying to hurl himself through. Suddenly, he said "Oh shit!" and started running down the street. After about 30 feet he turned around and started running up the street. And then, like a woodland sprite, he was gone.

And no, this is not a figment of my (granted, active) imagination.

OR come over and sleep in our guest room?

I think I am going to get a big boyfriend with a big gun in order to drastically increase my risk of getting gunned down in my own home.

oh my god, lina. if that EVER happens again, you come over and sleep in our guest room, okay? how terrifying.

emster obviously does not recognize a sarcastic comment............

no, if anything it increases it. but if some crazy dude was breaking into the house, i would trust my aim better than waiting for the cops to get off their shift at crispy creme.

fuck it, buy a dog, but keep the gliders out of reach.

.... because guns drastically reduce the chances of you being gunned down in your own home.

Oh boy.

get a big boyfriend, or buy a gun....

maybe you can get one of these bone thugz to park outside of your apartment and "protect" you:
