In this Random Noodle Update:

* I introduce you to my housebuddy Mike and we discuss my proper title, “Lord of the Ren”; as well as why we call him the “housebuddy.” (Yes, I registered LordoftheRent.com.)

* We talk about Mike’s “on-a-whim” trip from Cincinnati to somewhere in New York and beyond.

* Why you shouldn’t dive into toilets.

Like I say each time, please leave a comment or email [email protected], or leave a voicemail at (903) 231-2221. You can also follow me on Twitter. Mike had a Twitter account once—he got it on a whim—but he never updates it and doesn’t remember what it was.

And in case you’re wondering, the closing sound effect was courtesy of Mike.
