Would you please pass along that sainthood comment to @Eriol?
Like Wasabi with the kicking, that I haven't forcibly removed him from bed some nights is a testament to ... something good I'm sure.
A fun way to enter a room, is grab the sides of the door way and throw yourself in there a little bit. Makes you feel like a sling shot.
I have no idea where to put this because it's epic for me, but pisses me off too.
After years of searching I think I finally have the answer to whether my great-great grandmother was actually Native American in any way, shape, or form. The answer is a resounding no. From what I've finally found, her father's family were German and her mother's family were Irish. Where they ever got that she was Chickasaw or Cherokee is beyond me. I think I have, unfortunately, shattered a big part of my mom's identity.
Aww crap, that also means I'm probably a "shit lord" now since I am vastly less repressed as a full-blooded Euro Caucasian. D'oh!

Quick! Become a lesbian!
Do I profile people when they come in the door? Damn right I do. When 2 white girls dressed like strippers or escorts come in with 2 black guys, pay cash, have lots of traffic into their rooms at odd hours (11am and 2am?) and one of the girls is hitting up other guests to pay for her room? I haven't called the cops on them... yet, but hoo boy it's suspicious.
When one of the girls is wearing booty shorts and it's 15F out, what the hell am I supposed to think? OC, how do I handle this without looking like a fool if I'm wrong?

One of us! One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
Do you have a reasonable cause that they're not following your motel's procedures and policies? Any complaints from other guests? If so, you've got a good case to just ask the cops to step in, IMHO.
During the same phone call mentioned in the minor victory thread, I was informed the room in question had checked out. No longer our problem.
But...I don't want to move in next door to @Gilgamesh.
For whatever reason, our grandparents' generation loves to claim that they are Native American in some way. Most of the time its bullshit. I don't know why, but this same scenario keeps playing out over and over.
I think I may know where the notion could have come about. One of my great-grandfathers on the side that's supposedly Native American won land in a Cherokee land lottery in GA. I think it's possible that as the info was passed down through the generations it became that his family lived on Cherokee land, then that evolved into being Cherokee. I also think that my great-great grandmother might have been more comfortable speaking German (the family story is that she only spoke to her son in her language)and that the younger kids were told she was an Indian just to freak them out.
I thought it was "gooba gabba". Or are you channeling your inner turkey?

My students have been warned to stop calling me "bruh", before I hang them upside down by their toes. It is VERY annoying.
There's a couple different ways... wait until they have company, then call in a complaint to the local PD. They're going to hide, obviously, but we can come and make a "welfare check", whilst simultaneously checking IDs on any/all encountered.
A lot of times, with fly-by-night prostitution rings like this, there's often drug use, as well. That can be a determining factor.
If there's a steady stream of it happening, keep making complaints. There's things that can be done. Hell, I'll shop around and see if there's been any Backpage/Craigslist activity regarding your town...
Then I must be denying my inner turkey.
Thank you.

Oh you have no idea how physically sick I felt when I found that bit of info. It really bothers me.
My mom's spent the last few years really digging through our genealogy hardcore. Probably because we never heard much about our ancestors growing up.
Turns out we're directly related to an accused salem witch. She was tickled to learn about it, because she always did fancy herself to be a black sheep.
Well, I know I'm part native (Cree specifically), I have second cousins straight off the rez. I'm also related, (dad's been taking part in a thing in England that's tracking who with our last name is actually genetically related) to two former Chief Justiciars of England (basically the prime minister after Normans conquered it 1000 years ago). So, I'm part oppressed minority and part supreme shitlord.
COMPLETELY RANDOM,
The theme to Unsolved Mysteries scared the fuck out of me when I was a kid and puts me on edge now, mostly through conditioned response to it.

I eat cereal out of a glass. I like to wander the house in the mornings and having breakfast in a glass makes it easily portable, less likely to be spilled. Does anyone else eat food in a weird way? Or cereal out of a glass? Just me?
I eat pizza weird. First I eat all the toppings, ether by picking them off one by one or just sloughing off the cheese with the toppings, then I eat the crust and sauce. My friends find this disturbing.
I also eat cereal dry, which some people find odd.
