Re: GRANDMASTER ADVICE COLUMN

Dear GAC,
So, I followed your advice, was firm with these interlopers, and managed to contain them all to a closet I had handy without too much trouble. However, next thing I know there's a Grandmaster sending me messages through the damn thing, and all he wants to do right now is get the hell out before his contestants do something terrible to him.
It's not like I really give a shit about his plight, even if he has been apologetic and even gone as far as offering all the services he can muster to put my place back in order, but I'm just really worried about the subtext of giving this guy permission to come out of my closet (or forcing him to stay in the closet, as the case may be).
I don't want any trouble or anything, and I mean it's not like I have a personal problem with- with what that subtext might imply! I just feel like despite it being my full right to keep the guy in the closet (the literal closet, not the metaphorical one) until he sorts his shit out, and having to defend myself over subtext is stupid. Right? Right? Right.
Your counsel is urgently sought,
The Gatecrashed

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
