Dois paus e um pau

Some longer term residents end up becoming pillars among the community. For the guys who put in the effort and really try to get onto the straight and narrow, they are rewarded with public praise as well as more responsibility and some authority over the newer guys. It's kind of like an R.A in a dorm for the best of them. Because we've taught them well, they sometimes even use our unusual techniques themselves to keep their housemates in line. So it was with true sadness that we witnessed the regression of this particular dickhead. He had been doing so well, too.
