Singalong

For weeks now I've been complaining about the girls downstairs and their constant loud crazy singalongs, which one reader clued me in on is actually a Rockstar singalong game. Last night it started again. I was on the phone really late with my friend Darren (who, by the by is now the star of an ihop commercial where he sports leiderhosen and a tuba and stands on a bus grinning and saying "STREUSEL!! STREUSEL!! and it is amazing) when the singing began. I had just started telling him the story and getting all bitched up about it when I heard a loud pounding on the girls door, some mumbling, some "Awww's" and "Asshole!'s" and then beautiful beautiful silence. Thank you more-pissed-off-than-me-neighbor!

It was fitting that this happened on election eve. No more singalongs is a change I can believe in.

Darren is a friend of mine too. Just for the heck of it, I googled the commercial to find out who is talking about it. It's playing well, save for three groups of people: expats living in Germany, German translators, and tuba players.

Since Darren plays the tuba, I believe he needs to go to the tuba message boards and issue an apology. He is offending his own kind! ;)
