Good ole' hole reamin'

[13:10] Gregonzola: I fought a lot with my 4 brothers growing up. Maybe I got all my violence out then.
[13:10] Everybody: Heheh. I broke our lounge chair with my brother's head.    
[13:10] Everybody: Human battering-ram style.
[13:10] Miss Havisham: wow, glad there's only one boy in my home.
[13:11] Gregonzola: Yeah, more than one gets rambunctious.
[13:11] Gregonzola: Holy crap did we break things.
[13:11] Gregonzola: My older brother put me through a wall once.
[13:11] Everybody: There was a point where there were no internal doors left on hinges, and dad just stopped replacing them.
[13:11] Everybody: You wanted to use the shitter, you picked up the door, set it aside, and put it back when you were done.
[13:11] Miss Havisham: ...
[13:12] Miss Havisham: stop scaring me.
[13:12] Everybody: I never replaced the door on my room once it came off. I just hung some curtains. Easier to sneak around that way anyway.
[13:12] Gregonzola: That is awesome.
[13:13] Everybody: (Of course, if the doors weren't so cheap in the first place.)
[13:13] Everybody: They were the kind that came down with one good kick.
[13:14] Miss Havisham: my door is broken right now. i bent my key trying to unlock it last night.
[13:14] Gregonzola: And you're going to kick them. You're a boy.
[13:14] Miss Havisham: we had this issue before and the maintenance guy was like "your frame is warped. i'll give you a new door, but it'll last about a year"
[13:14] Miss Havisham: GUESS WHAT.
[13:14] Gregonzola: Now that's some rage unlocking, Havi.
[13:15] Miss Havisham: well i had to get IN, Greg. i wasn't gonna spend the night on the balcony with two kids and only a briefcase to cover us
[13:16] Everybody: Well, dick, come over and replace the frame some time.
[13:16] Miss Havisham: right? i need to call them tonight and tell them
[13:16] Miss Havisham: of course in the meantime we switched management companies...
[13:16] Miss Havisham: so they don't have the old records of maintenance.
[13:16] Everybody: "Well, the former Mr. Dick said..."
[13:16] Gregonzola: Now that's messed up.
[13:17] Miss Havisham: i mean, i'm not paying for it (thumbs up for renting) but still.
[13:19] Miss Havisham: it makes sense to actually fix the problem so i don't get the "in a year you'll need another new door" speech every year
[13:20] Gregonzola: So, the frame causes the lock to stick enough to bend your key, or did you attempt to open the door by forcing it with the key?
[13:21] Gregonzola: 'Cause if you can unlock without bending, then you really just need a crowbar. ;^)
[13:21] Miss Havisham: the frame has caused the door to warp so the deadbolt is really really wedged when it's closed.
[13:21] Gregonzola: Gotcha. So no choice.
[13:21] Gregonzola: Who do you know who lives close and has a power drill?
[13:22] Gregonzola: Ream the hole out a bit and problem solved.
[13:22] Everybody: Good ole' hole reamin'.
[13:22] Gregonzola: Pooch'll ream your hole for free.
[13:22] Everybody: Sure, with certain provisos.
[13:22] Everybody: Offer not valid in Rhode Island, etc.
[13:28] Gregonzola: Smart restriction. Nobody trusts Rhode Island.
[13:28] Everybody: It's an island. Or a state. Wtf.
[13:28] Everybody: Sneaky lil fuck.
[13:29] Gregonzola: And it's clearly not big enough to be its own political entity.
[13:29] Gregonzola: Like Delaware or Connecticut.
[13:29] Gregonzola: They deserve to be annexed.
[13:30] Gregonzola: Similarly, California is way too damned big. We need to split it. We can have California, Delaware and Connecticut out here.
[13:33] Miss Havisham: ...i have a power drill
[13:33] Miss Havisham: but i'm scared of it
[13:34] Miss Havisham: Math Teacher would probably help me. it's kinda weird that after we really truly stopped dating for real, he moved into my apartment complex
[13:34] Miss Havisham: and we became workout buddies
[13:34] Miss Havisham: i bet he'd fix my door.
[13:42] Gregonzola: He probably would. -hic-
[13:42] Gregonzola: Sometimes when dating isn't right, friendship blossoms.
[13:43] Everybody: Sometimes, murder.
[13:43] Gregonzola: Other times, he's just hoping for the opportunity to get into your pants. Either way, he'll fix your door.
[13:43] Miss Havisham: Nah, he's pretty serious about someone else now. We're legit just friends. AT least, as far as i know.
[13:43] Gregonzola: Yah, but if it's murder, you'll be able to tell because he'll take out the latches entirely.
[13:43] Miss Havisham: "Hey, I thought you were gonna fix the door, not remove it"
[13:44] Gregonzola: "Access, Havi. It's a matter of your safety."
[13:44] Everybody: Yup, just wear dresses forever.
[13:44] Everybody: For your safety.
[13:44] Miss Havisham suddenly wishes she hadn't worn a skirt today
[13:44] Gregonzola: Short dresses are safer. You won't get them tangled in your legs and trip.
[13:45] Everybody: Skirts give + initiative. -hic-
[13:45] Gregonzola: AC penalty, but who cares?
[13:45] Miss Havisham: oh. this one is to my ankles.
[13:45] Gregonzola: See, better AC, but initiative penalty as well as movement penalty.
[13:45] Gregonzola: Down to your ankles? You're movement rate 6 like a gnome.
[13:46] Everybody: What are these, chainmail skirts?
