beth b: Yup. No biting. Actually, he offered me a drink.
I passed. Recorded here: Gus passed on a free drink.
Special circumstances.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

If I only had a brain...
Dear GOD, Gus. How awful.

Damn, Gus. You know you need to write a book someday, right?
I second this notion--memoirs are really big right now, and Gus, you just keep on living the unusual life, don't you?

Damn, Gus. You know you need to write a book someday, right?
Yes. You really should.
So, are things mostly okay now? Your house is your own again and all that?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Yikes, Gus. I can think of worse scenarios to come home to, but not many that involve the house still being in one piece.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Drama student from the U", I thought. "Great makeup!", I thought.
"Uh....Surprise?"
What does one say in this situation? Has Miss Manners posted to this dilemma?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dear PtB: I know Gus was put here on earth to entertain us, but could you please stop supplying him with quite so many entertaining stories?

Oh, yes. The house is mine, again. The Man (Gary Odell, the other cop in Cameron, WI) came and coaxed the guy out (by name), after my attempts failed. The guy would not believe it was really my house, 'cuz I'm black, and there ain't no black people in WI.
Damages to the crib were minimal. A broken window, some disorder in the main bathroom... just another memoir item.

Gus, I COMM'd your pain before saying I am so so sorry. I am. Sorry, that is.

Aha! You were caught Homeowning While Black. Almost as dangerous as Driving While Black.
