Oh man, the poor guy had a tough run as far as I can remember. Bought a 60k jag, slapped some prominently placed Potter schwag on it, married a girl he just met, bought a house, promptly got a divorce, sold house, sold car, took a hit on trade-in due to Hogwarts decals (likely at least), and then vanished. Hope the guy is doing better now.

That's too bad. I recall the relentless, albeit very funny, jokes about the Potter stickers on the Jag, but it seemed like he took it in stride/wore it as a badge (cloak?) of honor.
IIRC, didn't he buy the Jag after divorcing some crazy-lady in the first place?
If he's gonna insist on driving that stickered-up Jag going forward he's gonna need Poonam's stick to beat off all the trim it attracts, crazy as they may be.
Or a charm, that could work too.I still call it The Jake.

I think you guys are both correct - there was another marriage in there. Maybe two.
Two drops for Cloak of honor, Bmills

I think the Cloak of Honor, together with Poonam's Stick, when combined with the Jag make for the ultimate wizard, the master of death.

I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

After submitting my application to the room change waitlist yesterday, I followed up with the dorm director a few minutes ago and he agreed to approve the change and move forward with finding me a new place. A new place not in Langford.
Suffice to say, the multiple conversations the RA and I have had with gamerboy have had little impact on his pattern of behavior. He hasn't showered since the breakthrough 9 days ago and still games into the wee hours of the morning. Still haven't witnessed anything resembling him doing work or studying.
I will have the opportunity to meet with current occupants of rooms with availability on Monday which is huge. Definitely want to get a sense of how they feel about a +1 and whatever else I can glean from our interactions. As of now, the only dorms with availability are North and South Hedges. Honestly, I could not care less. Anywhere, with almost anyone other than gomerboy, is an improvement. Things are looking up. Hopefully this is the beginning of some sort of social life.
Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty I am free at last.swing your fucking sword.

Good thing, you're next to the fitness center and Town and Country. Bad thing is you're in a Chicago housing project style high rise.
Good for you though, that guy sounds disgusting. Trying to live around that and go to school is not the way to go.

my cousin had an interesting proposal. apparently there is some component in a gaming PC that burns out every once in awhile. if i can locate, extract, sabotage, and put it back, it will be a PITA financially to replace and he will never know anything. as great as that sounds, i'm not that big of an asshole. i think i'll just shit in a pringles can.

I wouldn't hit him in the pocketbook, but petty scat play seems to be very inbounds.
Does your school have little post office-like mail cubbies for every student (or am I dating myself?). I signed up a roommate for every free women's hygiene sample imaginable, along with a subscription to the local NAMBLA chapter newsletter. Every time he went to get his mail it was absolutely bursting with tampons.

I'm sorry you ended up with my son as a room mate. Last fall he did exactly that while whining about hos room mate partying too much, coming back drunk at 3am, and getting COVID so they both had to be quarantined. He had n95s and had to wear them in the room all the time because he knew room mate was not taking any precautions anywhere.
Anyway, for the benefit of everyone at the college, my kid got a single dorm room in in a cheaper residence hall this year. So far so good and best of luck to you finding a more scholastically productive living arrangement :-)Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Leave 1/2 a can of opened tuna under the bed when you leave. Buddies did that to another room before spring break one year. They had to air the place out for several days to get it back to normal. You could chalk it up to "must have forgotten to cleanup after yourself"

We had a roommate that used a space heater to keep his room at 80+ degree in the morning because he didn’t like to be cold getting dressed after a shower. He often forgot to turn it off before going to class. We had multiple talks about it but he wouldn’t change or kick in more for electric. A couple of roommates carefully opened up the heater and snipped a wire inside. Last we saw of the heater was when he gave it to his mom to get repaired because it stopped working and he didn’t know why.
