Good to hear UT.
The dinner invite stands. Oh, and we have a new bird feeder arrangement now. Come check it out anyway.

I looked at a place in King of Prussia today and realized how I am old

It had everything - everything! except two things were missing

One, no dishwasher.

Two, no insulation in the attic. Not one single roll.

In my 20s, 30s, and 40s, #1 was a deal-breaker

In my 50s #2 is far worse

In my 20s I would not have looked in the attic.

In my 30s and 40s I would looked and not noticed what was missing.

The owners bought the place in November and they are early-30s.

Now I look and I say, WTF you young people, with your investment property, you've put in all this attention to detail, you are at least pretending to be so anal about this place and yet you forgot about this. Because you are 30-somethings and you don't even know!

If this remains my favorite place, I will go back to them, and tell them to spend a few hundred and address that shit, because they want me as a tenant. Because I am fucking awesome as a tenant.

Wow...we had a dishwasher when I was growing up because my grandpa worked for kitchenaid...but this one right here is the first one I've had in my many dwellings since I left home. And I never use it. But I'm like Ms Bohemian.

Awesome tenants are awesome. I've also been accused of being one. There are so many nightmare tenants out there.

Glad you like the place!

I remember pretending to be a grown-up in my 30's. Grown-ups are mostly in their 70's and 80's now.

It's all over but the signing; I will be living in King of Prussia.

Now I have to figure out a title.

Earl of Prussia.
Baron of Prussia.
Viscount of Prussia.
Dauphin of Prussia.
Duke of Prussia.
Admiral of Prussia.
Marquess of Prussia.
Sultan of Prussia.
Emir of Prussia.
Shah of Prussia.
Sieur de Prussia.

What is best, friends?

I thought everyone in King Of Prussia had an Imperial attitude. You could be something unique, honored, and special: Peasant.

Undertoad · 01-30-2015, 05:35 PM

Go the other way. Serf of Prussia. That's good, I like that.

When they say "Surfs Up", is that a complement?

Serf of Prussia is nice. You live in the kingdom, you work the land, and on your wedding night the King gets to bang your fiancee first. A man can be proud of that.

Take a gamble on any of them. Prussian Roulette, you could call it.

If you were le Dauphin of Prussia, some wag would no doubt insist you were a shark.

Anyway, what about Lord Protector of the Realm of Prussia?
