Come work for my non-existing, no-client, and named-by-a-hobbit company.

My life is really out of balance, what should I do?

Put a second fulcrum under it. Everything balances better with TWO fulcrums.

Oh, no! I think that may be a piece of fortune-cookie wisdom! How do I cure wisdom??

Take ecstacy in the middle of a busy freeway. Then proceed to hug the cars. They need love too and they'll unwise you very quickly.

What's the best way to casually disentangle myself from the affections of a saber fencer?

I'm buying good coffee beans and grinding them, and my coffee is good, but how do I make it superb?

Riiiighhht....except how do I give you atrocious advice on this?...well if Inq won't field this one I guess I kinda hafta

Get $43 worth of stamps and send out letters to people you randomly find in a phone book (If you need assistance in randomly generating phone numbers, exploding the phone book works nicely) ***with return envelopes*** asking if they were missing $43 or an old coin. This is also good atrocious advice for the question: How do I find a pen pal? (Buy one get one free day here in the thread of atrocious advice).

I'm worried that I might be thread monitoring . How do I ensure this sickness fades quickly?

Plug in a soldering iron and put a nice sized piece of plastic on it once it is hot. This will release vaporous fumes. Reach a zen state of consciousness by inhaling the fumes and meditating on the envelope for about an hour. This should bring their image into focus in your mind's eye and you shall know.

How do I get the Euro coins I have left over from my trip to Ireland to work in an American vending machine?

Get a sharpie and write 25 ( where's the cents sign on the keyboard! ) 'cents' on it. and then it should work.

How do i explain to my parents why they found my brother ducttaped to the wall when they came home?

Just sit there at the computer, innocently singing "Spiderman, Spiderman. Does whatever a spider can..." They'll never suspect you.

I can't sleep at night. What should I do?

Hmm... Fill yourself with sleeping pills, that sleep cough medicine stuff and get someone to pet your hair until you sleep and expect them to not do anything more once you are.

( Apparently, Spiderman isn't so innocent. so when they came in my room, i changed it to spiderpig and they left!)

Hmm, What should i do if i think my brother is pervertedly-bi-curious...?

Every time you feel the urge to thread monitor, instead of coming here, go to a forum of some really boring sport like cricket or golf and monitor their threads. You'll be cured in no time!

Invite all your girlfriends over for a slumber party and let everyone dress him up in different girlie outfits with makeup and take lots of photos. I'm not going to tell you what to do with the photos, but I'm sure you can think of something...

My coworker quit to go work on a Will Smith movie and now I'm stuck with the early shift and extra work. How do I keep my spirits up and not get bogged down with cubicle fever while also getting rid of symptoms of resentment?
