Swap Profile: Moose Sadler

To those guests who haven’t had the chance to make it to Brookline since last year’s fiesta, numerous changes have taken place to the host lineup. While the noticeable addition of estrogen to the roommate mix may be the first thing to grab your eye (apparently Dave wasn’t doing enough to hold it down for the ladies), this spotlight actually shines on the addition of a fifth host. Not since Crotty took up residence in the Panic Room in aught seven have we had five gracious residents opening their home to us (although Blaze’s chronic absence calls that figure into question). So Moose, welcome and thank you for having us.

Many of you haven’t had the chance to interact with Moose socially, so for you this profile can give you some of his backstory. For others who know Moose well, this profile will demonstrate everything that Moose is metaphorically bringing to the swap. What he is physically bringing will have to remain a surprise until it is picked from under the tree.

Mr. Sadler moved to Perry St. last August, taking up residence in Blazer’s old room. While Moose would have preferred the South End, he has been pleasantly surprised by the architecture and horticulture of Brookline, as well as the town’s acceptance of his penchant for vibrant (some would say gay) accessories. Additionally, he appreciates the amount of space and lower population density as it decreases the amount of forced interaction he has with the high percentage of “Liberals, Communists, Socialists and America haters” who reside in Brookline (his words, not mine). Does it seem odd to you that one of his favorite activities is burying his face in guest’s crotches upon their arrival at Perry St, yet he resents those who take advantage of Taxachusetts’s nanny state? Of course, but that’s Moose for you.

A first time swapper, Moose will be sure to bring a flamboyant young male’s perspective to his gift selection. Will it be something fabulous he picked up on Newbury St? Perhaps. Will it be something delightfully preppy? Most likely. Nautical themed? Who knows, but that is part of the fun of the swap.

So Moose, to you we say welcome to the Swap. I’m sure that your presence will only help make this event better than last year and contribute to the holiday good cheer, great times with friends, and the drunken shenanigans.
