First, decide what pistol you are going to carry. Then decide where you will wear it. Then get back to me.

How do we put Louweasel's mind to rest about Sabreur's good opinion?

Get him to send her pictures of himself.

I've got some spare bricks from some imaginary building project. What should I do with them?

Throw them at an imaginary Kat.

It's raining, and I want to go to the gym, but I don't want to get wet. What to do?

You know those big fire-belching canisters they use to keep hot-air balloons aloft? Strap one to your head, and turn it on as you leave the house. All incoming water droplets will be safely vaporized before reaching you, as you walk to the gym.



I want the glamour and luxury that comes with a typical college degree, but don't want the degree itself. How best to achieve this?

Simply follow in the steps of Mr. Bill Cosby, (I know he actually did graduate but stick with me here), get yourself on a television show which stays on the air for about 30 or 40 years, do comedy clubs, and comedy specials and universities with bestow multitudes of honorary degrees upon you!!!



How can I survive mandatory shopping on this coming Friday?

If waiting in line before a store opens, strap any and/or all swords and knives you have and strap them to yourself. Randomly pull one and practice lunges, or quick parries. People will clear out of your way.
Or just call in a bomb threat and go in S.W.A.T. gear to get the items you want. (see Oceans Eleven)

How should I move two cars across the country with only one moving van and no spare drivers?

Post them. Simple, effective, and they may even arrive. Even better trust them to a couple of college students for a drug adled a road trip.

I need to write a presentation on something non-technical by tommorow for a "communication skills" course. Any ideas?

Try flirting with the ones who are single, rather than the ones who have boyfriends...

Or... you can tattoo the words "Single and looking" on your forehead. That's sure to attract single women....

I'm thinking about getting a new tattoo. Any suggestions?

(And "single and looking" on my forehead is a trivial response!)

"I love foil!" on your chest.


Any suggestions on how to sneak off from work (and go home to go back to sleep) without being noticed?

Use your invisibility cloak of chameleons! Make sure you leave a simulcrum of yourself at your desk, so no one notices you are gone.

My fantasy life is intruding into reality again... what should I do?

Aversive therapy. Instead of picturing Louweasel in that black leather catsuit, picture Camilla Parker-Bowles in it instead. Or Margaret Thatcher. Or maybe Dame Edna. ( Yes, I know---Australian. )

How do I get a co-worker to stop absent-mindedly singing off-key children's songs at work? ( Because he really shouldn't be singing. Anything. Period. )

Every time he starts singing, join in and sing REALLY FREAKING LOUD!!! SCREAM THE BLOODY LYRICS INSANELY!!!

Stop when he stops.

When he starts up again, SCREAM THOSE LYRICS LIKE AN ANNOYING FENCER WITH NIGHTCLUB HEARING LOSS!!!!!

Repeat as needed.





I keep having the same dream every night, where there are seven obese cows, little children of all races are playing together, I catch them as they fall out of a wheat field or something, and then Banquo's horses turn and eat each other. What should I do about it?

It's really quite simple. The obese cows represent seven of your closest friends and what they are becoming through their poor lifestyle choices. The children of diferent races are in fact not children, but the various varieties of chocolates your friends have been eating too much of. You must catch these chocolates before they fall out of the 'wheat field' (factory) and turn your friends into obese cows. Therefore God is telling you your purpose in life: chocolate factory terrorist. The horses represent your own cannibalistic desires. You freak. You disgust me.

I'm going to a concert tonight with two friends who have been together for two years. I think there might be parents and other relatives there two. What should I do to prevent it getting awkward?

Pretend to be your alternate account, THUG. They'll admire that persona as much as you do, I am sure.

How do I suppress my snarky instinct? ( Just for the holiday, you understand. )

Go to the local toy store and jump into a bin loaded with Care Bears, Tele-Tubbies, and Tickle-me-Elmos and roll around for about a half-hour. Cute-and-cuddly should rub off on you and last just about through the holidays.

Or, it might kill you.

How do I get women to realize that I'm nearsighted and just trying to read the catchy phrase on their tee-shirts and not leering at their chests?

Reach out and touch them saying that, "I'm near sighted, and I read in braille."
