4.what really-not-that-big-a-deal occasion caused you to freak out at your neighbors?

Our neighbour didn’t cut his lawn for a while and it was getting really long and covered with dandelions, my mother got so angry she took out the lawnmower and mowed a stripe right up the side of it. It was hilarious….our neighbour mowed his lawn the next day without saying a word.

5. I’m in Canada! Yes I know that is North America, but I felt like including it.

2.)Never took a night class…

3.)I’m a saints fan, can you guess which one it is???

4.)Its more like the neighbors freak out at me… along with the Sherrif’s Deparment

2. just looked at the catalog and wondered about the efficacy of the “english as a second languge” course.

3. 2005 steelers. i know, i know, the 1970s steelers are the greatest ever, but since i wasn’t born yet, i have to go with our last super bowl win. i was in pittsburgh’s south side for the game, and that celebration was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. the parade was also INSANE (250,000+ fans).

4. i had a dorm room neighbor in college who started playing “carmina burana” at full blast in her room, then LEFT. it played for a good six or seven hours before she came back. she also got really drunk and pooped in the courtyard of our building one night. classy girl.

5. did i not give myself away with my #3 answer?

Apart from a upstairs little idiot that is too sensible for loud sounds and thinks she’s the Queen of the complex and a next door baby that has nightmares and screams for an hour at 5am, I have a pretty good neighborhood.

I have still a pretty good story: so I was at my last college year, and was doing a film class project which involved filming a short story in a one shot plane. So as I live at a first floor apartment and my kitchen window stares directly to our parking lot my colleague and I had the idea of making a shot about a witnessing of a drug bust.

So we called a bunch of friends, signed them the roles (some were the drug dealers and some would be the cops) and did a couple of rehearsals to frame the camera and control the timings.

I have to say that we were doing this at 2 pm of a Sunday and had all of my friends that weren’t on the picture as audience.

The story went as this: the shady friends were to gather next to a car, with a bag full of flour and monopoly money and as they were exchanging bags, the well dressed friends were to get in a fast paced car and bust them with toy guns.

I repeat that we had a pretty large audience, out of frame but still very visible, we made some noise with it as we were rehearsing and it was a bloody Sunday afternoon!

Suddenly as we were at the middle of filming, there were cops everywhere, busting everyone. As I, and everyone were completely startled about what was happening, a neighbor of mine, (who is an actor by the way), appears pointing fingers at my “shady” friends and speaking to the cops as if he was the hero of the day.

Needless to say that in 5 minutes we had the cops scolding him for being a trigger-happy idiot who couldn’t analyze a situation and he left to never again being able to look at me in the face.

“This has to have granted you an A+ for sure!” should you be thinking by now. Yes it would, hadn’t I turned off the camera as the cops appeared in order to go outside to talk to them. If regrets were dollars….

By the way, I’m a mentalfloss fan from Lisbon, Portugal.

all champs…what more can you ask?

Bad Neighbours: oh so many.

1) “Oh Steve” who lived upstairs and had a loud voiced girlfriend.

2) “Sir Squeaks-a-lot” who lived upstairs and brought home bar-floozies every weekend and humped for 3-4 hours (not exaggerating) on the squeakiest bed of all time.

3) “Chimey” who has obnoxious wind chimes in a multi-family complex (my wife has wrapped shopping bags around the chimes more than once).

4) The little girl who played “Hot Crossed Buns” on her recorder right outside my window at 11 am when I was on a night shift and trying to sleep.

5) “The Giggle Twins”, two university-aged girls who live next door and apparently have Benny Hill-style “sexy parties” with boys and stomping around and giggling into the wee hours.

6) The guy down the block who has a diesel truck and starts it before 5am when it’s cold out to “warm up” before he leaves around 9:00.

2. Last year, the local community college had a class on sewing your own pirate garb(our mascot is the pirates). It was taught by the guy who does costuming for the local theater group. I seriously conidered signing up for it before remembering taht my sewing skills are terrible.

4. Ah yes, neighbors. Just this evening there was some guy on a motorcycle accross the street who kept revving his engine. For five minutes. The main kinds of neighbors that mainly tick off my dad are the ones with dogs that seem to be completely deaf the the fact that they, in fact, DO bark when not in the company of their masters.

PS: You need to drop the Duke friend.

Koach K’s postgame quote was a classic in the annals of poor loserdom: “We’re not here to win games, we’re here to build relationships.”

Given their head-to-head record over the last ten years, it’s good that Rat Boy sets attainable goals.
