OK this is going to be an interesting semester.

[TheMightyFavog]

I was just informed that I have a new roomate this semester.

According to his Facebook profile, This History Education Major states his politics as Conservative and he lists the Bible as one of his favorite book.

[deadparrot]

1. Uh oh...

:D

Good luck. :hi:

[ThomCat]

2. Parade around naked a lot and I'm sure he'll go away.

:P

[ZombieNixon]

13. Screw that! Move in first...

then when he shows up fling open the door showing yourself in all your nude glory. Make a good first impression. :evilgrin:

[TheMightyFavog]

17. I will be gitting in before he does.

Actually six days before he comes in. By the time he gets in, I'll be too busy helping others move in.

[ZombieNixon]

3. Huh...

have fun! :evilgrin:

[MissB]

4. Cool. Now you can do sacrifices.

And remind him to read the red words in his favorite book.

[TheMightyFavog]

8. And...

eat big ol' bacon double cheeseburgers in front of him during Lent!

According to my Mom, the part of Minnesota he's from is heavily Catholic.

[skidrow]

5. Cue Odd Couple Theme

"im a fastidious conservative and hes a slovenly liberal"
"I smell sitcom!"

[Broken_Hero]

25. my thoughts, exactly!

:rofl:

[MrCoffee]

6. Wait and see if he sets up a shrine to Joan Rivers in the room.

I had a roommate who did just that. One day, I came back from classes, and he was watching a Sally Jesse Raphael episode that he'd taped, and he had his hand raised. I asked him what he was doing, and he told me that he really wanted to ask a question of one of the guests.

I very quietly left the room.


I'm totally not making that story up. It happened.

[TheMightyFavog]

9. Well, Joan Rivers has to be some sort of god or demigod...

I mean come on, she looks younger now than she did in the 1980s. :P

[MrCoffee]

10. It's the human blood she drinks before any red carpet is rolled out.

[TheMightyFavog]

26. Huh, I didn't think about that.

That sounds like something form South Park.

[huskerlaw]

7. Awww, memories!

My first year roomie was a paid staff member at the Nebraska Republican party.

Oh, and this was 1996.

We had to separate our dorm room, literally down the middle. Half was plastered in Clinton/Gore signs. The other half was plastered with Dole shit. Including a ginormous cardboard Dole banana. Oy.

Oh, and she was a staunch anti-abortion Catholic.

I lived. Barely.

Good luck!

[Richard Steele]

11. Ah, you'll have to keep us posted; daily updates and all.

Sounds like the roomie from Hell.

[TheMightyFavog]

12. The one I had been previously assigned was a Baseball Jock

I think he would have been preferred.

[Richard Steele]

14. Well, I'm sure the lounge will be a great help to you in the days ahead.

Dealing with this guy could become a popular group project:
revenge ideas, brownie recipies, untraceable poisons...
few people ever take FULL advantage of the vast resource
which is the DU Lounge.

But seriously, it may not be as bad as you think.
Alot of guys like that get a whole new attitude at
college, and this guy's "favorite book is the Bible"
comment smacks of desperation to me. He may just find
an excuse to stop trying to fool himself.

Whereas science knows of NO cure for "baseball jocks".

[TheMightyFavog]

16. At least with the baseball jock,

The closest thing to a heated political argument we'd have is whether the '29 Athletics were better than the Yankoffs at the height of the '20s.

[ThomCat]

15. If he's the type to mooch food

let us know and some of us can send you a carefully prepared care package of brownies and other goodies you can leave around.
:evilgrin:

[TheMightyFavog]

18. I will say this...

If he lays but a finger on my Dallmayer coffee without my permission, I daresay I might have to resort to having a proper grating rigged so that I may have him flogged!



But then again, we're talking about a fundie here. He might secretly enjoy it.

[NMMNG]

19. I could always give you pointers on particular Bible verses to highlight

Just to make sure he reads all the "right" verses in his favorite book. :evilgrin:

[TheMightyFavog]

27. please do.

I know the one in Matthew that says that people who pray in the streets trying to win converts are hypocrites.

[Spider Jerusalem]

20. Easy solution:

Get black candles, and a human skull (a realistic-looking prop will do the job). Set these things up in an altar with a pentagram, and sit in front of it naked whilst chanting the Lord's prayer backwards (in Latin for the best effect). And tack up a large poster of Che Guevara. If that doesn't get him to seek a new dorm assignment, not much will, I think.

[TheMightyFavog]

21. I got a better idea...

Instead of being naked, How about I shell out a couple of hundred dollars for a custom NY Islanders Jersey with this on the back:

[Spider Jerusalem]

22. Haha.

Too bad he doesn't play for the Flames; that would be perfect...

[TheMightyFavog]

23. Or the Devils...

However, Hopefully he and the Islanders can have a good season this year.

[Broken_Hero]

24. oh damn...

this makes for some good debates here...keep us posted on the discourse between you two, I know eventually you both are going to be talking some politics, and other issues....

At least the roomate didn't list coulter/hannity/limbaugh as one of their favorite books...at least, not yet...:)
