is the house allways this clean?

Well Julian is out and Mitch is in.
for those of you who were inspired by my video to come and see our house but didn't make the cut I apologize- Mitch just seemed like the least hassle.

I wish I had a video of Phil and I interviewing roommates because it was hilarious as we secretly tried to root out the uptight people while seeking clues to find a fellow bad roommate. It is difficult because the average house seeker is trying to put there best foot forward with attributes we care nothing about. The following are a sample of the deathblows people unknowingly imparted to us sealing their fate all the while thinking that they were coming off like good potential roommates.

1. " Do you guys cook a lot I have my own knives... " hmmm not even mentioning that I hate cooking and the inevitable resulting mess when my roommates cook but he is basically saying "hey I am just a complete stranger moving in but I am bringing lots of creepy knives into your house"

2. "I am a business commerce student but I also work at a lawfirm...." Indeed. Just what I am looking for, a student/law clerk with a 90 hour combined work week. You should be really laid back when one of my co-workers accidentally stumbles into your room at 5am looking for booze. Also he said the magic word "business student" not realizing that I work at a bar freaqueted by grad students and as such know just how douchbaggy the students from each program are (business or commerce or god forbid MBA students 12/10)

are you a student trying to figure out what grad program to go into? Fine I will rank the programs in terms of how cool your contemporaries will be.

1. Philosophy/divinity/anything objectively useless.
these students are not only the most laid back and interesting but also the smartest other than #2and3. For a while my favorite group to serve was the medieval studies faculty.
2. U of T Law 1: the regulars.
these are the law kids who come in regularly and have drinks and argue with each other for fun. They don't take themselves too seriously and soon graduate into the cool lawyers who come in all the time after work.
3. Osgood Law.
that's York law and the ones who come to the duke are really cool
4.-10. I need a spacer to denote the separation b/t the good groups and....

11. meds.
maybe nice enough but I don't know because they only come twice a year and then they have no idea how to act in a pub. In a group of 100 you would have 60 who sit there with one drink for 2 hrs even though they just finished 300 hours of exams. 20 normal people and 20 people who get drunk as crap and act like 15 years old who stole their parents brandy.
12. uoft law 2:
these would be the kids who only come to the pub because someone has organized an event and then are miserable for the duration of their stay. one girl actually threatened to sue me because I cut her friend off.
13. MBA/commerce: can you just have a drink like a regular person or is this another opportunity to bore the poor girls in your class about your future stock market plans. Plus I can hear you talking about how you don't believe in tipping for whatever reason. Your not a economic genius who is finding flaw in the gratuity system you are CHEAP.

3. "You said this other room is only $625??..."
now there are insulation reasons why bens room is better than julians but if you are just visiting the house for the first time and don't know about the insulation problems you should reasonably want to pay the extra $50 dollars for a room that is twice the size with a walkin closet. If you instead want to save the $50 then you are not a financial position to live with us.

4. "Is the house always this clean?..."
yes clearly why would we do any extra cleaning to interview strangers who might want to live with us.

you know what this entire post just makes me sound like a jerk
I think I will remove it soon...
