- Here's a story about a real live roomate I used to have.
-
- All these Omar stories remind me of this one guy I lived with. Troy was
- a guy to know, all right. He was right out of "Revenge of the Nerds".
- He was 5' 9" and 107 lbs (think about it). His face was covered with acute
- acne, possibly because all he ever at was cheese pizza. His glasses
- were thick and his voice was a high nasal whine. His opening line
- was "Hey, guy..."
-
- Still, he wasn't arrogant like Omar. He was a nice kid, just couldn't
- deal with real life. He told me these stories himself.
-
- Troy actually admitted to going to the Combat Zone in Boston
- (that's the porno/hooker area of the city) with his buddies the previou
- summer to get a hooker for the night. Imagine these 4 18 year olds
- driving around a city they knew little about, looking to pick up a
- prostitute. Anyway, they found a pimp (maybe) and asked him about
- getting a "date". He said sure, it's a hundred bucks, that sort of thing.
- So while he was negotiating with these high school kids he suddenly
- sticks his neck up, yells "OH MY GOD!! ITS THE COPS!! Hey, guys, give
- me the money, and meet me at this hotel at..." So, yes, they gave
- the pimp character the money. Like suckers, they show up at the hotel...
- pimp's nowhere in sight. As you could guess.
-
- Then there's the infamous "Taxman" story. Troy, sad to say, was an
- alcoholic (another reason why he wasn't in school too long). He went
- to another floor's party, got truly drunk, (somethig like 9 beers in
- one hour on an empty stomach--with his weight!) and danced like a crazy
- man to the Beatles' Greatest Hits album. Eventually he went off to the
- bathroom (coed in our dorm) and since he really couldn't stand still
- he sat down. While sitting down he decided to throw up, and hey, why
- not between his legs? Two things at once, right? So, he starts yakking
- while sitting on the toilet. The problem with this scheme is that in
- the middle of it, he PASSES OUT while yarfing. He fell off the
- pot and almost pulled a Jimi Hendrix on us all.
-
- So where did "Taxman" come from? Well, some women from the floor went into
- the bathroom and knew something wasn't right. They smelled retch etc.
- and saw a guy on the floor in one of the stalls. A couple guys came in
- and saw Troy, pants Around his ankles, lying in his spitup. They woke
- him up, and the first words out of his mouth were "I'm the Taxman, yeah
- I'm the taxman..."
-
- He was known by that nickname to all the residents of Field House at
- UMass until the day he was expelled.
-
- Sort of a sad story, but he DID tell me the story when I met him (and
- corroborated by his friends on the floor who played tricks on him).
-
- Oh, by the way, I won't tell you what Troy's color is. Or mine. I
- hope I don't get flamed because this taxman story might get posted
- to alt.taxlaw by a zealous defender of tax collectors' rights. <|^)
