Go along the roads beforehand and blowdry them until they thaw. Make sure to cover the roads you will not be driving on.

Go to Walgreens and ask for 83 bottles of 60 mg tylenol (extra, extra strength). Go home, pour all contents from the 83 bottles in a boiler pot, add old gym socks, a headless snake, 5 cat paws, an old university physics textbook, and a broken bodycord of any weapon. Boil for 10 minutes and drink up.

How do I prevent the next atrocious advisor from giving me an atrocious advice?

post here as often as you can. the more you ask, the more chance there is that you will get a response worthy of your question.

i had to return to campus early for training. but there is a problem with my tab, that which lets me into my building. not the room, the building. the office responsible for such things will not be open until monday. what should i do?

As a friend of mine says, "A tourniquet to the neck." Find out the real location of the advisor, sneak up behind them, and bang. It's over.

EDIT: late! I suggest you call all office personnel on their home phones numerous times, especially while they're likely to be eating supper.

How do I avoid getting bitten by the zombies outside my door?

Go outside immediately. This is reverse-psychology for the zombies. They'll have no idea what's happening. Trust me, just go right outside and shake their hands. If they have any.

What should I do if Godzilla attacks my house?

Get in your car and drive as fast as you can to the nearest fall-out shelter, then wait for several years and come out to see if everything is back to normal.

My fencing club is having and open house tomorrow that I would like to go to but I'm not really feeling all to great, what should I do?

Go anyway and if you spread your disease, they will thank you for helping to strengthen their immune systems. You might want to set up a booth and sell contamination, even. Everyone will be in your debt.

(I posted this question on the question game, then realized that it fits much better here. heh heh.) How the hell do I get burned custard out of the bottom of my oven?

Well you could use the carbomb, but to be original and more humane; I'd say that you should go and steal a labratory monkey and then take him home and allow him to eat the custard. Then before he gets out, you close the door and turn the oven to 350 - 400 and let cook for 45 min.

I want to get my hands on a carbomb but I'm unsure how to, any help?

Yeah, just call the police and ask them. They know all about car bombs.

So what kind of sauce should i make to go with the monkey? Or will A-1 work just fine?

Make a combination of sauses! I prefer to use worcestershire mixed in with barbeque sause, and then 10 tbs of vanilla extract! But you could make your own 'secret' recipe for Cooked Monkey!

I wonder how I should patent my cooked monkey recipe?

Go to an environmental group, or Animal Rights activist groups. They'll have plenty of tips and suggestions.

I have a reading assignment due for school in 2 days. I have about 500 pages left to read. What should I do?

Burn the book, then explain how you read Fahrenheit 451, and how you were deeply touched by it. If the assignment is in English then the teacher will most likely pardon you; if not then well at least you probably burned a really bad book.

I have to read stories by Raymond Carver for English; I still want to pass the class but I don't like reading the stories, help anyone?

Inure yourself to them by reading Beowulf in Anglo-Saxon and perhaps some Tolstoy first. By the time you are finished your assignment will seem like a welcome treat in comparison.

How do I get my scalp to stop itching from the dry winter air?

Go find yourself a true hard-core Native American and piss him off. You will proptly get scalped and thus not have any problems with it being dry and itchy!

I want to read Beowulf in Ango-Saxon but I have two problems: 1.) I can only find the English translation, and 2.) I can't read Anglo-Saxon. What should I do?

Go back in time and ask Beowulf to tell you the story.

I'm at a low point in my fencing learning-curve. What should I do?

Turn your graph/diagram up-side-down so that the curve goes up and not down!

I was considering teaching myself Calculus III since I wasn't able to take it this quarter; does that sound like a good idea?

Yeah, anyone can do it! Combine the stuff you learned in I and II, and you have Calculus III. DUH.

I'm not sure about one of these myths that the mythbusters busted. Should I test it at home?

Klingon I, II and III, all at once.

How does one go about cutting the tang of a new blade? I left my saw somewhere and won't be able to get it until tomorrow night.

You should take the course that best brings out your lazy side. Remember, if you get an A, that means you did 'awful.' If you can somehow manage to pull off an F, that means you did a 'fantastic' job!

I forgot the combination to one of my masterlocks. What should I do? I can't seem to find the combo...
