I'm thinking about going into Roman chariot racing. It's something fresh, at least.

Bobby, do you like movies about gladiators?

That's the good news. The bad? I'm getting evicted again

Eviction notice,

Your home will be seized by the police under suspicion
of illegal activities as we were reported yesterday.
As a tenant you have 30 days to vacate
the premises or will face fines or jail time.
Contact out office immediately after receipt
of this notice to make proper arrangements for a move out.

Legal statement and our contact info are enclosed to this letter.

Real estate agency,

First off, I thought the windows were closed. Plus that was a pet goat. How on Earth could the police see that?!?

Secondly, I didn't realize that end salutation as a formal one for a farewell. Then again, what the hell do I know? It's the English's language-I just use it on occasion.

Until the next time, fellow Threadsters, I bid you...

Real estate agency,

Chickenboy

I have found that having a Boston accent in the Levant leads people to believe that I'm not from America. I was waiting for the bus home from ulpan today an Eritrean asked me what time the bus was coming. I told him the time in my rudimentary Hebrew. And I got the usual "Where are you from?" as they can tell from my Hebrew that I'm not Israeli. I told him I was from America "Where in America do they speak like you?" he asked I told him Boston northeast of New York. "I don't believe you are American they don't sound like you where are you really from?" Exasperated I told him U.S.A. again and that we have a unique accent. I don't think he believed me

So, they either caught you playing WitP:AE, posting here, or making one of your designer tropical diseases you are a fan of.

So, as such, I would just ignore it and if they show up, show them WitP:AE and get them to do the first allied turn. That should give you enough time to get a lawyer and an excellent defense plan in place.

In this case 'agency' was used as a verb.

From the Guardian some time back...

Let us now resolve to bury . . . a practice which, in the closing months of the year, seemed increasingly to be defacing the English language: the pressing of decent defenceless nouns, which have gone about their business for centuries without giving the mildest offence or provocation, into service as verbs, sometimes in their original form but quite often after a process of horrible mutilation.

Evidence of mutilated neologisms at that time included gift, diary, fax, fixture, message, example, and doughnut--all functioning as verbs.

I've a question-how does one 'verb' doughnut, diary and example?
