I'm very lucky to have very talented, very funny friends. Several of those friends contribute to this blog. And one of those friends used to contribute before this blog was tranformed from something else into this blog. That'd be Josh Dobbin. In addition to running his own site, Josh has lately been sparring with Lee Stranahan in the comments. Yeah, my friends fight each other.
Anyway, Josh wrote an hilarious short story based on his weird and heartbreaking real-life experiences in college revolving around a particularly bizarre room-mate named Eric Paul Nelson. Hint: Eric Paul Nelson owned the CD soundtrack to Fern Gully. Really.
