The End is Near

I asked and was granted the opportunity to write one of the last posts on what has been a very successful blog. To NOR I give thanks.

NOR and I are gamers.....we have known each other since jr. high school and just happened to end up working together after 20+ years of no contact. Since that time we have played games or chatted just about every night for the last 2 years or so. I moved about the time IR came into the picture and he wasn't so bad the first 3 days or so & then he got comfortable................

What this led to was a constant bemoaning of what an IR he really was over ICQ. Every night....whine, whine, whine (if I still had the chat logs the blog could go on for a few more weeks just using old material). Tiring of the whole thing I suggested he blog about it & thus the Idiot Roommate blog was born.

One day NOR tells me to look at the counter. Hits to the site went from maybe 400 or so to over 16,000 in a matter of days. It seems that someone posted a link to it at Fark.com and alldumb.com and the cult following came about. All that was missing were the groupies.

I have experienced the IR first hand and what has been written here was the truth. NOR is pretty straight to the point....a no nonsense kind of guy so there hasn't been much in the way of embellishment on his part. I know........I have been there.

The blog has become a part of my normal nightly surfing. I have a few sites I always visit & this is one of them. While happy for NOR obtaining his freedom once again....I hate to see it end. What used to irritate me has now become part of what lifts me up each evening in the realization that I am not that bad off.

From those of us that didn't have to deal with you directly.........
IR you will be sorely missed.
