Adds Michelle: “that bread was fucking delicious.”

Letter from a narcotic
June 12th, 2007 · 52 Comments
This ranks right up there with the notice from an aspiring personal-injury lawyer as one of my favorite roommate notes of all time.

Along with the Mad Bomber series, I’d say this note is one for the hall of fame. There are so many amazing elements here I can’t even pick a favorite.
