Roommate Agreement Form—Possum & Thrill, year 3
(All previous roommate contracts are hereby declared null and void)
Visitation:
Proclamation?? Okay. On this the twentieth day of this month,
we, as the heirs to the room previously inhabited by Scott Bilton, Miles
Travis, Marc Jones, and Chris Hostetler, and thereby leaders of the Miles
Travis Suite, Inc., do hereby proclaim martial law over all of Living Well,
Ehaus volleyball court and the UNC Shag Club. Effective until defeated
in a battle of wits to be named later.
Study Time:
Bloody Mimes?!? I’m glad somebody is thinking about them. We
in room 241 believe that it is a grave injustice, not to mention a bad thing,
to see the blatant disregard for the well-being of these silent entertainers.
We feel it is our duty to speak out for those who are trapped in boxes and
are doomed to climb endless ladders. Oh, you said “Study Time.”
Well, we won’t stand for any of that.
Phone Usage:
Word has it that people have been using telephones as earplugs, swords,
mustaches, shoes, candles, etc. But I’m here to talk to you about the
unethical use of water. Shows like Baywatch and Dawson’s Creek have
been misusing water for years. As part of the People for the Ethical
Use of Water, PEUW, we feel it is our right to not use water for drinking,
bathing, gardening, etc. Besides, we don’t have a phone.
Personal Possessions:
Previous contracts have covered demon possessions, and to date no one has
become possessed. So, this year we in 241 are welcoming personal possessions.
In order to better our odds, we will be hanging garlic from our doors, wearing
coconut shells, shopping only on days named for pagan gods, and sending
get-well cards to dead presidents. This year, should a roommate become
possessed, all suitemates must disavow knowledge of Alec Baldwin.
Smoking:
Smoke signals have been an important form of communication since the days
of Roman candles. However, the current method was perfected by Chief
Sitting Duck of the Algonquin tribe. This style is based on the principle
that smoke produced by burning wood will, in fact, rise, and on the novelty
of creating smoke rings with a peace pipe. This ancient method shall
be implemented by the M.T.S. in the absence of phones.
Housekeeping:
Should a fly be found in 241, we shall unleash, in order, one day at a
time, a spider, bird, cat, dog, goat, and finally a bear. We in the
M.T.S. reserve the right to bare arms, as well as the right to arm bears.
--I’ve never seen a house that ain’t worth keepin, as Death’s never seen
a soul that ain’t worth reapin.—
Communication:
This year the M.T.S. will seek to locate Elvis by learning to communicate
with aliens via rubbing together an iguana and a kimodo dragon to produce
a high pitched sound, which will combine with a loud yodel to reach the
farthest galaxies of the universe. Pounding hound dogs with blue suede
shoes only brought out Elvis impersonators and, in one unfortunate instance,
Rosie O’Donnel.
