It's Hard to Beat the Tent Rent
Here’s something we may start to see more of: Brokelyn reports that three enterprising recent college grads have avoided moving in with mom and dad by pitching a tent in the backyard of a friend’s Bushwick rental.

Here’s something we may start to see more of: Brokelyn reports that three enterprising recent college grads have avoided moving in with mom and dad by pitching a tent in the backyard of a friend’s Bushwick rental.

Perhabs you meant FOB, or “Fresh Off (the) Boat”
m4l, what do you think about that terminology???? 🙂
Etson, their hands will be washed. can’t guarantee the rest of the body parts are washed (ie he’s not sch’d to shower till Wed)

Ba-dum-tst…
I don’t think my parent’s otb Chinese neigbors would call 911 if my parents were on fire, much less 311 because of a tent-city in the backyard. Their Jewish neighbors would do anything at all for them, as long as it’s not Friday night….
Biff, that was what I said to Kens last week.

Watching these jerks “play” at being “homeless” really rubs me the wrong way.
