Get out of my apartment, you fucking freeloaders!

Actually, not knowing how to play it might actually make its use even better.

Chinese opera. Especially if you don’t speak a word of Chinese.

I think I actually agree with this sentiment. It sounds inconvenient, sure, but it has only been a week. I mean, has there been any attempt at all to make this work for everybody? Or are you just stewing in your bedroom?

Pssst. Pass the word. We’re all crashing at dalej42’s place next month. Put it on your facebook page.

I wonder if the posters here actually dump people out of their lives as quickly and as fancy-free as they recommend everybody else do it. I highly highly doubt it. There can be great reasons for keeping someone around who ocassionally annoys you, and fucking fabulous reasons to keep someone around whose brother ocassionally annoys you. For fuck’s sake, this person might be the love of Dale’s life, who he’s been with for 10 or more years of bliss for all we know. Yet “THROW THEIR ASSES TO THE CURB!” rings out like I knew it would as soon as I read the OP.

Now, that being said . . . I cannot extoll enough the benefits of finding someone whose family you genuinely love and enjoy. If my wife sent me a text saying her brother (or any other member of her family) was staying with us for a week, I would consider it a pleasant surprise.
