AKL --- The Ground Floor

When you think about the bottom floor of AKL during our time there...one thing comes to mind... at least it wasn't all blue yet. Still, as insanely ugly as the whole area was, it did have some features. Remember Club Ass Pants, which all seated the house computer (and the house screenname Tau Timbers, later changed to AcKelHolic). Club Ass Pants paved the way for Pub Ass Pants as people got older and lazier and Rocket started sleeping there. Then there was the attempted fix-up of the back patio, which mainly consisted of a trip to the store to buy a table and chairs, and of course astroturf. This had a longer lifespan the most other house projects. It was so popular that The Colonel considered painting a Tree of Taste Mural on the back porch wall. Thankfully this project bit the dust. But there were still many great memories. Then there were the features that were there before we got there...like the crappy bar, the dungeon, and my personal farovite ...The Jim Johnson lounge. Who was Jim Johnson? I have no idea. But all I know is that Jim was probably not thrilled about having a lounge that really was nothing more than a plaque and a couch in the corner of the dining area.

The ground floor was at its best when the carpet was flipped upside down with a classic T-formation on top during parties.

No mention of UH's mystery handy man looking at porn on the house computer instead of fixing things?
