All this time, I've been wrong. This is proof that there truely is a God.

I can understand them destroying his Cher collection, but U2 as well? C'mon!

No HERO tag?

I'll second that push for a HERO tag.

This kind of action far transcends the COOL tag.

Actually, I'm kind of torn on this one. The nanny state vs Cher. Civil rights vs civil responsibilities.

/I lied. Can we get him a state sponsor lobotomy, too?

Damn, I wish I could get the cops here to raid my neighbour's place. Blasting f*cking reggae at all hours. I've been considering a grenade through the window.

You think there's enough brain left in a Cher fan's head to chop out?

The cops thought they were arresting gypsies, tramps, and thieves. The stereo was just the consolation prize.

Mister? So wait... a guy likes Cher... and worse, likes blasting it?

/think destroying his CD collection was far too lenient a punishment.

Destroyed both Cher and U2 albums, man, that's a double win in my book. Really, while I can stand some Sonny and Cher (once did 'I Got You Babe' karaoke in a sushi restaurant with a tranny Cher impersonator), I don't care for Cher solo and I turn my radio off whenever I hear a U2 song played.

Once got the cops called on our house party where someone managed to throw "Hey Ya" on the stereo 6 times. They didn't even fine us. I consider that a mercy cop call.

My friend got hit by a car once. Made a right-turn into him on his bike. The day of the Cher concert in town.

He ended up with decent settlement money from the insurance company, more money if he decided to get the scars on his chin fixed up, and went to Europe to visit his working-abroad significant other with the money. Oh, and bought him a Tiffany's ring (I got to be there to help him pick it out - I think the salespeople felt sorry for me until we started looking at the men's rings... yeah, of course he was gay, although I had a straight friend who loved Rent. Go figure).

All that, and he STILL made me watch the DVD of the concert tour when it came out. I love that kid, but the thing that he was most pissed off about that day wasn't his bike, or his health, but that he missed the Cher concert.

/still owes me for that one
//wait, paid me off with abundant free local wine and food at the commitment ceremony
///I've heard it's a "What White People Like" cliche, but I do love my gay friends sometimes
////NOT when the Cher gets broken out, though

gopher321: Damn, I wish I could get the cops here to raid my neighbour's place. Blasting f*cking reggae at all hours. I've been considering a grenade through the window.

I used to live in a building where the one of the upstairs neighbor roommates would come home drunk every night at 3AM, stumble around for a half an hour knocking over everything heavy in his apartment, PEE OUT THE FRONT WINDOW onto the fire escape, then turn his stereo on full blast and pass out. His drunken roommates apparently slept right through it, although they sure could hear me banging on the door to scream at them.

The first time it happened I was willing to let it slide. The second through fifth times, I went downstairs to the main power panel and shut off all power to their apartment, and turned it back on when I left for work. They kicked him out shortly afterward, to be followed by several police visits looking for him.

I had downstairs neighbors that used to start their parties around 1am. Usually in their kitchen, which was right under our bedroom. Loud music, which meant shouted conversations we could clearly hear. They also had a 4 year old kid living in the same apartment.

One night I was annoyed at being woken up by them yet again, so I called the cops. They showed up about 5 minutes later, and things got quiet downstairs for about 10 minutes. As soon as they started up again, I called again. This time, multiple cop cars arrived. People were taken outside. One of them tried to drive off, but ended up just reparking his truck after trying to merge with the telephone pole. At least two people went away in handcuffs.

Never heard another peep for the month before the landlord kicked them out. We also learned they'd been lying about their address so they didn't have to pay to send their whelp to the better school in the next town over...

Now, my sister and her boyfriend live downstairs. The only time it gets loud is when we go down to drink and play Rock Star with them.
