Why isn't the lathe in his bedroom? That's ******ed!
Here's the way out of your situation... You, or one of your other good roomates needs to "come out" (hey, take one for the team!) and start hitting on this guy. Repeatedly and constantly. When he complains, you guys all have to stick together, call him a homophobe and insist the rest of you are all open minded... If you really want to get him out fast, start regularly making out in the livingroom with your other roommates.
i'm not sure how making out with his roommates helps his situation??
That is about the funniest picture I have ever seen. And even funnier to me is I have no idea why it's so funny.
SLOTD sir! I'm crying I'm laughing so hard.
Just print up that picture and carry it around in your wallet. Pull it out if anyone ever tries to take your roommate's side or doubts his douchey-ness.
-Schizophrenic
-Paranoid
-Alcoholic
-A sleepwalker/talker
In his sleep, he crawled over to my bed (we had lofted beds), punched me in the face, then lept off the bed (5'5" tall), landed on his side on the tile, then ran out of the room screaming "THE MOUNTAIN LION IS GOING TO EAT ME."

Let's all really be honest here. This is less about the [censored] roommate and that the rest of us are jealous that WE don't have lathes in our living rooms.
OK. That's it. Good thing I wasn't drinking anything just now or my computer would be completely useless (instead of its current "damn near useless" state).
Talk to the other two guys, and agree to pony up the cancellation fee. Then once you are all in agreement, go tell the lather that you guys are no longer interested in living with him, and that you are breaking the lease. No cost to him, you'll pay the fee. Break the lease, move elsewhere. Voila.
Other options are having a come-to-jesus talk with him, or asking him to leave. You might want to see what the cancellation fee is, then offer to just give that amount to the lather for him to leave and have his name taken off the lease. That way you get to stay there, he has an actual cash incentive to leave, etc. That mitigates bad feelings and also gives him incentive not to screw up anything in the place before he leaves - he'll want his money.
You almost certainly can't just kick him out, if his name is on the lease.
Throw the Dirty dishes in his room, throw any mess he doesnt clean up in the common area into his room, hide your liquor (mini fridge in room works), tell him to [censored] off about the job thing. The loudness thing, I dont have a problem with, when you havve roomates, certain times (usually during the day, and early evening) you are allowed to be loud. no big deal. Buy a big salami, or cheese log, and everytime you guys want some use the lathe to slice a little off. Meat and Cheese always tastes better when you take some off while its spinning at a million RPMs.
