Mike Christianson of CPED Makes Sure All The City Council Exits Are Clearly Marked...

Photo and blog post by John Hoff

Ever since the day when I achieved a small degree of notoriety for dodging legal service from Peter "Spanky Pete" Rickmyer (who was subsequently declared a frivolous litigant, which pretty much vindicates my service-dodging, although there's nothing illegal about dodging service, incredible as it may sound) I've heard quite a few jokes about that incident.

Recently, while attending Peter Teachout's "hero knighting ceremony" at City Council chambers, I heard yet another one of these jokes from Mike Christianson of CPED.

"Hey, Johnny," he said....

"...We're keeping the chamber doors open for you, in case you have to make a quick escape."

Funny. Very funny. I turned and snapped this picture of Mike so I'd remember him making that crack, but I was in motion (which is how I feel I need to be in council chambers) so the photo turned out blurry.

I was inside the Hennepin County Government Center last week and saw Spanky. He was very upset at someone or something. My guess is that it was you. He is completely OBSESSED with you. Did you know that?

Ha! It was probably the same day John ran into him at the Govt Center too, and pulled out a camera to snap a picture and Spanky took off running at high speed! lol.

Not surprised the he's obsessed. 1) plenty of time on his hands, and 2) now everybody from Aldi to the River thinks his name is Spanky. Might be sad if it wasn't so funny, and wasn't Spanky.

He's probably upset he can't file his next frivolous lawsuit.

Oh, it's great. Housing inspections showed up at my house to follow up with an anonymous report that I was stacking people in my house as thick as cordwood. I told them nobody lives there but me and my new room mate and they said, "We will take your word on it."

Then I commiserated about Spanky Pete (I figured it may have been Spanky Pete who made the anonymous report) and the inspector (Shiela R.) she knew who he was, had known of him for years.

Let Spanky Pete just enter my house one time. I promise you he won't leave upright.

Ha ha ha!

To Spanky Pete:

Go to JNS's house.

How did the housing inspector know Spanky Pete? Did she say?

Johnny Northside! said...

She said she knew him as a character who had been around for a while--words to that effect.

Well, if Spanky entered upright, that would probably be a first.

Hey Johnny, your content stream has been slowing and the quality deteriorating. What's up with that? This used to be the best blog around.

Are the jack-offs intimidating you?

He wouldn't leave upright? Are you implying you would bend him over?

Do I need a rental license if I have a roommate?

A rental license is required if you own and occupy the property. However, the number of roommates you can have is limited by the Housing and Zoning codes. For more details see MCO 244.790 – 244-860 and MCO 546.50.
