Before we get into it, I would like to ask just one more time, after trying unsuccessfully to accomplish the apparently difficult task of "starting my automobile", why is this region of the country inhabitated with human beings? I would also like to drop a few dozen F-bombs, but I will keep it family-friendly.
As we ring in the new year, we also ring in a new roommate at Culligan Manor. The third room, a.k.a. The Shoebox has been a revolving door the last year and a half, with Paul, Noles, Horp, and Travis all living there while Fundy and I have looked on from the south wing. Mr. Jonathan Godfread becomes the latest in a long line to grace The Manor with his tenancy. And while he is by no means a stranger, as he signed the Culligan Charter over a year ago, we still felt the need to make him clear a few more hurdles, mostly cause he talked a bunch of shit about how we passed him up in July for Travis. As a result, an official application was written, and subsequently filled out by Jon-Jon. It is a four-page affair, with a personal info section, a personal opinion section, an aptitude test, and a current roommate knowledge section, all filled with random questions that popped into my head over a couple day time span. Here is a sample of some of the Q's Jon-Jon had to answer. See how you would do:
Name all 5 members of the Fab Five:
Who is the most unstoppable video-game athlete of all-time?
Who is the player that MJ essentially blacklisted from the original Dream Team?
Name at least 5 players from the Mighty Ducks--not the NHL team, the Goodwill Games champs:
Name at least 3 members of N.W.A.
Favorite March Madness moment of your lifetime:
Song you most wish was on Guitar Hero:
Favorite ninja turtle:
What does it mean to be "ridin' dirty"?
What is Jim's favorite day of the year?
What sporting event did Jim and Fundy boycott (highlights and all) in 2003, and now pretend never happened?
I think the crown jewel was having him name every Final 4 participant from each of the last 10 years, and all in all Jon-Jon did an excellent job, even though he forgot his alleged favorite team at the time, North Carolina, made it in 2000. Congrats and welcome to The Manor. Mike Noland says hello.
