The Source of the Vodka
A few months ago a friend of Roomie’s needed a place to stay for a few weeks while he looked for a new apartment. Roomie was going to be out of town and offered up the spare room we had. The man accepted the lovely offer from roomie and moved into the house.
About 4 days into our acquaintance and his stay at the house we were at home on a regular Wednesday night and both felt like having a cocktail but there was nothing worth having in the house. So off he went to the store to get something. Now I assumed he would come back with a bottle of wine or 6 beer as it was a week night, but no he came back with a 26er of Vodka and we proceeded to drink the whole thing in a little more than 2 hours and in that time exchanged the coles notes version of our life stories.
That evening I talked to my mom and she said that my hangover must be the influence of the bad man living in my house as on my own I would never do anything like that. The next day she sent the man the following letter …
Notice To Terminate Tenancey
To: Mr. Vodkasource
And all others occupying the first bedroom on the second floor at (my house but the address is not for public consumption).
You are hereby notified that your tenancy of the premises is terminated on September 30, 2006. and on that day you will be require to surrender possession of the premises to the Landlord. (As well as any alcohol residing in the premises.)
Judicial proceedings (of a martriacal nature) may be instituted for your eviction if you do not surrender possession of these premises as well as all negative influences on fellow tenants on or before the date set forth above.
It is illegal for a tenant to unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to:
* inspect the premises
* make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations or improvements
* provide alcohol to a consenting adult
* act as a poor example to junior tenants
* consume alcohol or other intoxicants in excess
And that is how he became known at Vodkasource.
Not that any of this matters, as he still hasn’t called and I am still too embarrassed to talk to him if he did. But I promised I would explain where the name came from so there you are.
