Hide-a-man
If you want to feel like a paranoid detective, vacillating between despair, outrage, and downright morbid terror, watch Broadchurch. Despite my glowing summation, I promise you it is the best show I’ve watched in ages. Season 1 is only eight episodes, and you will devour them like a half-starved bloodhound. (But seriously, a horrifying plot – a murder mystery surrounding the death of an 11-year old boy – that might make it hard to sleep at night. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
All that to say, I’ve had morbidity on the brain.
So today when I was speaking to a Minneapolitan realtor about the neighborhood in which I’m buying a house (the lovely Bryn Mawr) and he told me it was a “hide-a-man area,” I froze.
“What do you mean, ‘hide-a-man’?” I asked. “Have they seriously found bodies here?”
He blinked. And then,
“I said ‘high demand.’”
Winning people over right and left!

this. this is why you are the best kind of human.
Please tell me you decided on a “rambler” style house…
i watched the first episode of broadchurch and i cried. then pbs stopped streaming it online and i couldn’t remember to watch it on the night it was showing. then the american version came out (have you seen it?), called Gracepoint, and i couldn’t get into it. it is on my netflix list to watch…
Ahahahahaha!!!
Well, you HAVE lived in some sketchy neighborhoods. Wasn’t there a thong-runner or a nearly-naked abductor at some point…?
*snort* No, I live in a hide-a-man area…but the rent is low. There’s even an old stone quarry…sleep, you say? What is this “sleep” of which you speak?
