Flyer News: How is life treating you on Lowes?
Matt Ruschau: So fun.
Jimmy McGivney: Life is always great on our street.
FN: What is the first thing people notice about your house?
Dan Raethe: That it's clean.
Kevin Korte: Probably the bar.
Kyle Rudy: The dart board.
FN: What's the story behind the dart board in the middle of the room?
MR: Me and my roommates started playing darts and every year we got better and better. But at the end of every year you have all these holes in the walls. So this year since we got this nice,- new house, I found this old door and thought it was a good idea to mount it on the door. It's like a cool portable dart board.
KR: We found it right behind the deli, where I'd left it last year. A friend told me it was still there but I thought he was just messing with me.
FN: Any house traditions?
DR: Candy bowl.
JM: We just have a bowl of candy sitting
out for anyone who comes into the house to have.
FN: Most memorable moment in the house?
KR: The halfway to St. Patty's Day party we had.
FN: Any house rules?
MR: Have fun.
DR: We're pretty relaxed here but a dish rule is about to be put in place.
JM: I put dish soap in the dishwasher twice, so the rule is my fault.
FN: Any downfalls to living at 231?
JM: Yeah the walk is crap. We're not really close to anything.
FN: What is your porch most used for?
KR: Beer pong but now that it's cold, not very much actually.
KK: Hanging out mostly.
FN: When you open the fridge, what's usually in it?
KK: Ketchup.
KR: Beer.
FN: What do you men crave?
KR: B-dubs.
DR: Definitely B-dubs, because it's right down the street.
FN: What's a 231 party must-have?
DR: Natty light.
FN: Do you guys have any nicknames for each other?
KR: Everyone just calls me Rudy, cause it's my last name.
DR: I got called 'The Butcher' last year because I ate so much meat.
KK: And now he eats a lot of chicken.
FN: Any final thoughts?
KR: 200 block of Lowes is the place to be.
DR: Fun should be had by all.
