hahaha... just read through the thread - you guys are hilarious. :D
I should take photos of the mess - it rather glorious and 'twinkly' in here... but a little sticky too - I should probably verify the liquid in the glass container before I caveman it into the floor or wall.
He got up and went to work... looks like he attempted to fix his door too... hehe.

Unfortunately, you've allowed him to stay there for an extended period of time. Depending on what state you live in, he does in fact have rights, and you must give up to 30 days of notice before you can remove him.
It sounds completely fucked up, but it's true.
- family don't care about them shit rules, when physical altercations begin, the one not on the paperwork leavesversion3
- What are you saying?noRGB
- if they fight and it's pony house, his bro has to leave according to the copsversion3
- Yes, if there is physical violence, you're right.noRGB
- But technically, he lives there legally, and can have his brother (homeowner) arrested for breaking down his door.noRGB

Sorry to hear all this Pony. Hope it shapes up one way or another.
Might I offer this humble suggestion for an activity to cheer you up:
**The "Re-Enact PonyBoy's Door Bust-In Moment" QBN Photoshop Battle.** (trumpet sound)
Pony - Take a picture (or a couple) of yourself in your best "Snarl! GTFO, Cougar!" stance and post it, and we can all re-create the scene as creatively as possible?
Waddaya think?

joking aside, I feel for you. I understand the rage a brother can put you into. I have an older brother that used to be able to make me go crazy. I literally punched a couple of windows out one time (I was like 15 or something) - nobody, and I mean nobody that knows me would ever be able to imagine me getting that angry.

Yeh, you got to stop being his pretend parent against whom he can endlessly play out his teenage freedom/authority/responsibility dramas that he never learned to resolved fully, and so never really became a proper adult in terms of someone who can forsee consequences that might be against his long term interests.
Until someone has developed the skills to cope with putting-off short-term pleasure for longterm strategic goals, they never truly respect anyone who can, because they don't recognise that is someone else. He knows on one level that you can do this for yourself, and in some respects needs to be under your wing for both the protection that offers him, and also to possibly learn it from you by osmosis or example, but it doesn't work, and he ends up playing off your outrage at his behavior as authoritative, with which comes a whole host of parental issues, with the result that he's not getting anywhere with his personal growth, and you're not helping him by playing along.
He needs you to kick him out, albeit with the honest, sound advice about what he needs to do in the next week, month and year, with his life, but you can't perpetuate the roundabout that you're both on. It'll be harder on you watching him stumble, but in 5 years if he doesn't honestly thank you for doing that, then theres really nothing you can or should do to facilitate his wrecking of your life.
Honestly, he sounds like a bit of twat who needs to join the army or some such situation that would stop him being so selfish and kick his ass.

if you gave your brother the "uber-boot" and he's still there 6 days later... you're doing it wrong. When you kicked him out previous times, how long did that last, 15 minutes? Or did you just make him sit in a different chair?

pony, I went through something similar last year. maybe you'll be as lucky as i was and not ever have to deal with your family again. this wasn't what I wanted initially, but as of now, they can all completely fuck off, and i'm better off and busier because of it, also, not bailing anyone out or loaning anyone anything or having shit broken/taken under the guise of "it's cool right?"
consider this the storm before the calm (i know it's backwards)

- are you suggesting they adopt?version3

Sounds like you guys are going to kill each other if you live together any longer. You gotta look after your own sanity first kick him out and get a roomate that have no weird family history/obligation with.
