utimatum poker
I give Brian (room mate/plant bomber) an ultimatum (this, after many notes back and forth with nothing getting resolved), and like a poorly played hand of Texas Hold'em, he chooses 'moving out' and not paying anything, over (what I consider) a fair price of a PS3 vs his fair price being $60 cheaper. then he writes "your move", challenging me, as if to say he has a winning hand. I already win! I'd get my house back! I don't mind having a room mate, but not having one seems even better at this point. so I call his bluff, by writing:
"I'm not 'splitting' (splitting the $60 difference) ANYTHING! I gave you an ultimatum involving a fair price vs moving out...looks like you choose 'moving out'. ya know what? fuck it! I'll buy it! happy house hunting. this is way too much work than it needs to be. it's like squeezing blood from a god damned turnip to try and get you to do the right thing. make it right! that's all I ask. too late"
I know, it sounds harsh, but he's had time to make it right, now he just wants to be that cheap-ass dutch guy (vs this cheap-ass dutch guy)
we'll see if he folds, or gets a chance to play the river card (more like 'up the river without a paddle' card) [news at 11]

Just checking to see if you're still alive. Ultimatum's can be a bitch and I want to make sure who actually owns the wood panel submarine at this time. I'm not nosey, just a sister. Hope all is swell.
he hasn't spoken to me, nor has he left a cheese filled note since, so yeah, he's prob'ly either busy accepting his fate about the whole 'moving on' thing, or he's plotting my murder (or both?) *heh*, so as of today, I'm still the owner...I'm kind of new to this kicking someone out thing, so we'll see what transpires. if the coroners find a steak knife protruding from my juggler (sp?) vein, you can point them to this website for the probable cause :p [more news at 11]
Nice to know there's no cheese knife sticking outcher neck. Yup, I'll be the first to alert the media and the Police. OR or, you could start doing weird mind games at him. Like I didn't say that, you said that. I didn't do that. You left that there. I didn't. Everything can make him crazy if you try hard enough. A course that's probably not a nice thing to do but ya know. PSthinger's are expensive. I bet you actually would love to have a whole submarine to yourself. Lock n leave. Don't worry. It took me until I hit 55 before I was more stern but nice. I like yes and no. I'm good with it. If you wanna do a Christmas Day mit us, we're doing an 11:00 brunchage. Carolyn is invited too but she never answers. If Carl is in town, the more the merrier. Just clue me so I have enough brunchage. Ta.
I'm sorry to be an intruder in the conversation, but I wanted to wish you the best in the current scenario.
