Well, like they say, you can't win if you don't play, so the more tickets you but, the better chance you'll have of winning. I'd suggest at least 500 per week.

How do I stop procratinating and get my French essay done?

Hit yourself in the head with a hammer--it will feel so much better when you stop.

Or you could follow Warren Zevon's example in Poor, poor pitiful me.

How do I attain full consciousness this morning?

May I suggest the tried and true -wire your coffee pot to the 220 or better 440 outlet in the house (one can always find one near an electric stove or dryer). After cutting the plug from the coffee maker strip the insulation, wet your hands and insert both wires into the socket. Now if nothing has happened place the entire apparatus into a sink of water being sure to keep any extra out of the actual coffee. Insert your hand -- if able pour coffee -- again if able drink. This should set you up for the day. An added bonus your hair is curled automatically no muss no fuss.


How can I keep friends from sending me those "darling" kitten pictures over and over and over and .....?

Unhook your computer, throw it in the river, and then dig yourself a bombshelter, sit in there until you die.

How can I get the Tiger's to beat the Yankee's?

For the most consistent outcome, you're going to have to make sure every damn Yankee is incapable of playing, one by one. I'm not advocating violence, mind you; blocking the front door of a player's home with an elephant would work, for example, as would taking the tires off his car so he can't drive to the ball park. Get creative! Enjoy yourself!

I recently discovered I have a blood-engorged tick lodged inside my ear. Best treatment to remove it?

I think DHCjr will concur with this advice, use a blow torch. Yup, a blow torch will solve all your problems from getting off tight tips to getting ticks off.

Ok, I hope I just solved my Tiger / Yankee problem. Now for a bigger challenge: how can I get the Detroit Lions to win a game?

Poison the opposing team.

Should I skip class so I can go to fencing practice?

Always ask yourself WWLND? (What would Latenight do?). Answer: Skip both and go clubbing.



Should I go to the first Hurricanes game tonight or show up for my own game?

Play computer games. Get some coffee, stay up all night. You'll be happy.

Should I finally buy my stupid textbooks?

Nope. Spend all your money on beer, hookers, and playing pool with the local drug dealers.

Should I finally go get my car fixed?

Why? It will only break down again sooner or later, and in the interim it will drain your wallet for gas, tires and insurance, risk your very LIFE every time you drive it and add greenhouse gases and particle pollutants to the atmosphere, thus adding to the horrid global warming which no less an authority than Al Gore declares will soon DESTROY US ALL!!!

Get a bicycle, you unconscionably selfish enemy of Gaia!

Ahem.

What should I now ask for advice regarding?

Bah, it's supposed to be atrocious advice! ( And I challenge you to find any evidence of my being querulous or peevish toward beef jerky! )

Safety-pin your eyelids to your eyebrows so the former stay open. Eat lots of beans and cabbage on the way, so you remain as uncomfortable as possible.

How can I become famed as the combined Ambrose Bierce-H.L. Mencken of my generation?

Ah, simplicity itself:
1. Contact Dr. Frankenstein, Transylvania 555-2000.
2. Unearth your choice of new persona (Menchken or Bierce).
3. Have a close friend hack off your skull and deliver to Mr. Igor.
4. Wake up reanimated and ALIVE!!!!
5. Scare villagers with pitchforks.
6. Hope general decay from reanimation does not foul the newsroom too much.





How can I get my neighbor to paint his house?
