I Do Things in 2009—By Request!
Published by JD January 1st, 2009 in I Am Kind of Awesome.Ask me, I won’t say no
How could I?
WOO! Happy New Year, my home-boys and girls. Hope you all rocked out with your cocktails out (™ Joe G.) last night so I didn’t have to. I was tucked away and snoring happily by 10:00 because that’s my idea of a fun night. There were also eardrops involved.
But that’s all in the past. Let’s talk about the exciting new year ahead of us!
Here’s a little peek at just some of the things I plan to do—so you don’t have to—in 2009:
- I Am the Wizard of Cheese
- I Evaluate Rock Star Bulges
- I Make Fun of Readers’ Afflictions—In Song!
- I ALMOST Bought a New Blender
- I Gave Away the Ending to Lost
- I Appear in People’s Dreams
- I Am Featured in a Song
- I Like to Move It, Move It
- I Am Suing These People
- I Review Dodgy Products
Plus! More Gus and Pru! More Zombies! More Cereal Marshmallows! More Nudity! MORE EVERYTHING!
But wait! There’s more MORE! For the first time ever, I am taking requests! Yes, you read that correctly. You can ask me to do something so you don’t have to. Ask me! And I might actually do it! Please note: your request should not involve anything illegal, scary, moldy, or X-rated, nor can there be any cruelty to animals or food. (You should also refer to “I Won’t Do These Things” before you go asking me to do something crazy-insane, like eating raisins).
Isn’t this exciting? I’ve fainted twice already and I haven’t even posted the damn thing yet!
Blooop! There I go again!
Please make your requests via comments to this post. All requests will be listed in a separate post where I will announce the lucky . . . um, askers and reveal which requests have been granted!
Blooop!
______________________________________
If you’re looking for something illegal, scary, moldy, or X-rated, try these people.
I’m going to have to think about a fabulous request. As eating raisins and vegemite are off the table I just don’t know! It’s all too much pressure. I don’t know that I can handle it…
I can hardly wait for you to Do Things in 2009!
I guess I can’t request you to get a rabies vaccination so I don’t have to….
Daisy the Curly Cat’s last blog post..A Sleepy New Year’s Day
JD, thank you for doing things for us in ‘08. Here’s my list of things maybe you could try to do for me in ‘09? Pretty please?
1. Finish my performance appraisal. You write so well, I’m sure you could get me a 10% merit raise, at least. Thanks.
2. Can you test the difference between some generic products and their name-brand counterparts so I know what’s good to buy on the cheap?
3. Can you assist me at O’Hare Airport when I go to the BlogHer conference in July? I think I can get myself there OK, but I won’t know where to go or what to do when I deplane. I’ll be the woman sobbing quietly, holding a teddy bear and traveling with too much luggage.
That’s all. Too much?
Kathy’s last blog post..Preparing for an Avalanche
I second the test generics vs name brand idea- I almost bought imitation Velveeta yesterday, but thought, if only I knew this was any good before I bought a 2 lb block!
Maggie’s last blog post..December’s Top Entrecard Droppers
Ooh ooh ooh!… I know exactly what you can do so I don’t have to!
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to see if someone would actually eat head cheese. In fact, on two other occasions I’ve challenged bloggers to do this in their “dare me” posts, and BOTH times they wouldn’t comply. I mean how bad can it be? It’s just a little gelatin mixed with pig snout and tongue parts. It’s not like it has raisins in it or anything.
Jeff’s last blog post..Thank you… I’ll be your entertainment for the evening.
So the sleeping with my husband thing is out, right? OK, how about cleaning under my refrigerator?
Prefers Her Fantasy Life’s last blog post..Mixed Blessings This Season
OK, your linky to the things you won’t do was compelling (and I would rather be fat forever than take alli, thank you very much. I’m too young to be wearing Depends).
Here are some things that come to mind.
(a) You could write a Friday’s “Ask JD” article so I don’t have to on my blog.
(b) You could dance all night in sexy shoes because I sure as heck don’t want to do that
(c) You can make us all laugh time and time again so that those of us less talented don’t have to.
Stephanie Barr’s last blog post..A Question of Motives
Hey …and you even started the new year off by fainting so I won’t have to? Gee thanks for that!
Now if only I could convince my body that that’s already taken care of and to bluddy well stop it, perhaps I could get my drivers licence back.
Will have to think on topics… the only one that comes to mind right now is to ask you to apply for phd programs so I won’t have to - but since i would still have to, i might as well just do it myself. Bummer.
Hey, could you have hernia surgery in early, early January so I don’t have to? I mean, I love the lump and all, but it’s starting to throb when I push too hard (aka–do too much freakin’ work around here!) so I’d like it done soon. Maybe you could make this a priority, you know, like one of your first adventures of the year.
Sincerely,
Lumpy Me
Oh note to Kathy–can you fly into Midway instead of O’Hare? Soooo much smaller and easier to figure out. Closer to the city too! A secret about O’Hare—follow everyone else who gets off the plane, they’ll know where to head for the luggage. Also, ASK–peeps are pretty helpful in Chicago. Have fun, sorry I’ll be out of town otherwise I’d be there to help your cryin’ self. Good luck!
Lin’s last blog post..De-Christmassing the Abode
There are so many things I would like to have you do so I don’t have to but that might take all year and I know that other readers are just as important as me, sure.
I know! Would you find more readers for my blog so I don’t have to? That way I could spend more time writing and actually might be able to do some proofreading.
Would you lose 30 pounds so my Mii can look like she used to?
Would you find me a worthy date on Match.com. I’m already a member but am far to lazy to peruse all the different profiles. I’m also not too good at picking out men as you might have noticed. Remember I need to go up this time.
Could you teach my daughter to read so I don’t have to get up off my 30 pound arse ever time she needs to read what the directions say when she goes to nickjr.com? Or so that when she makes another new Mii I don’t have to get up to type in the new name? That would be really helpful.
I had a few more but have gotten up three times while writing my wish list. That will have to do for now.
Have a Happy New Year!
Jen’s last blog post..Best of Me 2008
Will you visit my in-laws so I don’t have to???
The Incredible Woody’s last blog post..Happy Birthday, Dixie!
A happy new year to you, JD! I’m very much looking forward to the ‘bulge’ post.
For 2009, please could you sleep on the floor of Orlando International Airport for two days, so I don’t have to?
Tiggy’s last blog post..Tiggy’s Twelve Days of Christmas
Singular Girl: I hate to have to enforce restrictions, but I can only do so many things. Come back after the excitement and pressure have worn off a bit.
Daisy the Curly Cat: Thank you! And, no, I’m afraid that probably wouldn’t be Any Good for either of us.
Kathy: I should have specified one request per customer, but since I didn’t, I shall undertake all 3 of your requests. Except the first one, since your job sounds so difficult and complicated that I’m sure I’d botch it up. Number 2: right up my alley. Number 3: Just make sure you sob loud enough for me to hear you, and I’ll whisk you up, teddy bear and all.
Maggie: Wow! I can see that I’m really needed. I will definitely be taking on a generic vs. name-brand product review. Great idea, Kathy and Maggie!
Jeff: All right. I know I’m going to have to do this. Yes. I will do it. Maybe I’ll even do a video so you don’t think I’m lying. I WILL DO IT! I WILL EAT HEAD CHEESE!
Prefers Her Fantasy Life: Who said sleeping with your husband is out? It’s not illegal, scary, moldy, or . . . OK, I guess it is a little X-rated, isn’t it? Still, it’s better that than cleaning under your fridge.
Stephanie Barr: (a) Are you already tired of your “Ask” column? But I love it! And I have neither tarot or science abilities, so who’d wanna ask me anything? (b), sure, but wait till I have my bunion surgery. As for (c), oh, you! I’m still laughing about the kittens. The kittens!
flit: See? What won’t I do for you?! Do you want me to try to get your driver’s license for you? I’m pretty sure they’re not too stringent about that sort of thing.
Lin: Brrrr. That does not sound good. A lump??? I’d have to develop a hernia before I have the surgery, and I’m not sure there’s time. Should I go out and start lifting a bunch of trucks or something? (And thanks for the advice to Kathy. I know she’ll do fine.)
Jen: Wow! What an awesome list! If I can get me a Wii, I will happily lose that 30 pounds for you (and for mii . . . I mean, me). I also excel at finding men (do you like old grandfatherly types), so fork over your match.com ID. Just send your daughter to my blog. She’ll learn such words as “vicodin,” “nude beach,” and “big butt.” That’s more education than most kids get in a lifetime!
The Incredible Woody: Sure! Where do they live? Are they likely to take me out for a nice dinner? Do they mind if I shed long hairs everywhere?
Tiggy: I thought you’d be excited about the “bulge” post. Exactly when did you need this sleeping at the airport task done? I’m going to Jamaica in a few weeks; I’m sure it would be no trouble to swing by the Orlando airport.
Oh, I’m so excited about I Do Things in 2009! I can’t wait to read those posts.
Would you be willing to learn some HTML programming so I don’t have to? Just looking at all those lines of code makes my head hurt. I would be really grateful.
@Kathy: O’Hare is not as bad as you think. I did it–alone–the very first time I flew. Just make sure you don’t drink two Diet Cokes on the flight to Chicago, because you may not have time to pee if your gates are far apart.

Would you be willing to work outside in the snow for hours at a time and eat frozen sandwiches for me at lunch? I would be forever grateful
I promise, no raisin bread, but I could line up a headcheese sandwich.
‘Headcheese’ can be made without any actual head parts, BTW. You just need leftover pork bits and juice from the roaster. My grandma stopped cooking the heads many years ago, but she was still making headcheese without it.

The Hawg!’s last blog post..Apparently, they’ve lost their minds in Denver
What is this BlogHer conference in Chicago? I’ve lived in Chicago and the burbs for the last 20 years and I would vote for Midway also, especially if the conference is downtown.
I’ve only flown once and it was out of Midway and because of the bizarre circumstances I can tell you that I actually am familiar with the ENTIRE airport, AND I know the location of the Chicago Police Department in Midway Airport. (In case you need that sort of information.)
PLEASE evaluate Rockstar bulges so I don’t have to. I recall an Elton John poster from the 70’s that left nothing to the imagination. I’m getting a little nauseous just thinking about it.
Can you write a kick-ass, ‘guaranteed to get the job’ cover letter for an administrative or accounting position? I suck at cover letters.
Can you learn HTML for me and then send the information to my keyboard so I can learn it by osmosis from touching my keyboard. (And by touching, I mean in the usual way, sheesh!) I’m good at learning via osmosis. I sat through an entire semester of Business Law sleeping on the textbook during lectures. I got an A without ever opening the book. OSMOSIS WORKS!
I’m guest blogging for another website and I need a topic ASAP. Like yesterday even. HELP ME! Just a topic. I’ll run with the topic and write the blog. I just need a topic. QUICK! HELP!
I’m serious about the blog topic.
Lola’s last blog post..I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe New Year’s
happy new year, jd!
i have read through all of the wonderful comments…everyone has a good point. i would say i am leaning closely to what lola needs. i too, need an excellent cover letter, for the same jobs…lola, i hope you are not in the pacific nw! i also need the ooomphh to get up and send out that letter.
i will let you know if i need any help, thanks for the offer!
happy new year to you and yours!
puglette
:o)
Puglette’s last blog post..Happy New Year!
Puglette,
I’m in Illinois, so I doubt we will be competing in the job market. A commute to the pacific nw would definitely be out of the question.
Lola’s last blog post..I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe New Year’s
JD: Are you going to BlogHer so I don’t have to?
If Kathy AND you are going…. do you all need a roommate?
It would be an incredible time if I got up the nerve to actually attend one year!!!
Maureen’s last blog post..Another Lesson Learned
it’s been a fun year reading your blog, love the stories, thanks for the laughs.
i too was tucked away and sleep before midnight. i still saw the new year and didn’t have to wear a diaper standing in times square to do it.
i don’t think i have anything for you to do in 09 for me unless you can some how lose 15/20 lbs for me. otherwise, i’ll just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Natural’s last blog post..Should You Care What Other People Think?
absepa: You are in luck! I happen to know a leetle html, so send me those lines of code and I will magically turn them into a beautiful Web page. Or possibly a gnarled mess. (And thank YOU for encouraging Kathy AND for the Diet Coke advice. Kathy! Just have one!)
Mike Foster: Thank you so much! Same to you!
Musing: Oh, boy, have you come to the right place. I am the champion of sleep! No one sleeps better or longer than I do. DONE! Now get to work.
Babs – beetle: Are you . . . are you asking me to be a guest blogger!!!! BLOOOP! Seriously, I’d love to write a post. On ANY subject? NAKEDNESS? Oh, I’ll come up with something better.
Tim: I’m not sure whether or not to be comforted by your description of headcheese. I really am going to eat it (so Jeff doesn’t have to), but . . . do you think your grandma could send me some of her non-head headcheese? It sounds better than what I see in the store. As for working outside, that qualifies as “scary,” so I’ll have to take a pass. I will, however, eat your frozen sandwiches.
The Hawg!: Do I have to buy a special deep-fryer, or can I just saute it in a frying pan on top of the stove? It’s all well and good for you to proclaim “Turkey, turkey, turkey,” but I have very little cooking experience. I need diagrams!
Lola: Hey, I’m in Chicago too! Well, technically Skokie. I’m going to BlogHer. As far as I know, it’s just a big blogging convention, with speakers and seminars and parties and stuff. You should try to go! (And we’ll need a post about the Chicago police at Midway Airport, please.) Second request for html. Osmosis is being performed right now. Put your head on your keyboard, and you’ll start learning in no time. I’m sorry: I suck at cover letters, too. I’d do it for you, but it would suck pretty hard. TOPIC? Um . . . rock star bulges? No. Um . . . something about Wii Fit? That’s very trendy.
Puglette: Happy NY to you, too, my dear Puglette! As I told Lola, I’m not too good writing cover letters, but I would seriously be happy to edit/proofread it for you once it’s written. Seriously! You, too, Lola.
Maureen: YES! I’m going, and I’m pretty sure Kathy is, too. I won’t be staying at a hotel, as I live a mere 25-minute train ride from downtown Chi-town. You MUST go!!! PLEASE! That’s going to be the funnest part – hopefully getting to meet a lot of cool people.
Natural: Thanks, Natural. It’s been a pleasure knowing you and reading your blog, too. I think I’m going to be losing weight for me and a bunch of other people, so I can include you on that one, too.
Oh JD, that’s great! Anything, except maybe boogaloos :O)
Babs - beetle’s last blog post..Improve your EC dropping experience.
Well, JD, you don’t have to have much to fry a turkey. Just four things, in fact:
1. Turkey deep-fryer (cheap)
2. A lot of peanut oil
3. A turkey
4. Nerves of steel
Remember, you’ve got to let that thing defrost completely or, well, fires and calamity will break out when the turkey explodes (I’m not kidding). We seem have a lot of house fires around the holidays in these parts due to drunk people frying turkeys that haven’t been completely thawed.
Of course, I will fry my first turkey for Christmas this year. My wife will probably build a blast shelter for my frying activities between now and Christmas.
hey JD,
We live in California but celebrate the New York ball-drop new years in real time and then go to bed. Works out well…
If you want to do something for me, and you have a local Costco, you could go to it and leave without eating ANY of the free food samples AND WITHOUT buying anything either.

I like your teaser post for 2009, except I have a problem with #5. Are you seriously going to give away the ending to Lost? I’d have to unsubscribe it that is the case!
Trade Show Guru’s last blog post..How to Discipline your Children - A Better Way
One thing I’d like to try but haven’t yet that maybe you could do so I don’t have to is bungy jumping on a trampaline. A mall nearby us has one set up and everytime I see it, it looks like fun and I’d like to try it but want to wait until I have my video camera with me so I could do a blog post about it. Maybe you could do it so I don’t have to?
Karen, author of “My Funny Dad, Harry”’s last blog post..Things I Learned This Week–Part 16
Wow- Let’s see– what would I want JD to do so I don’t have to? Hmm… How about deal with telemarketers?
Jenn Thorson’s last blog post..Of Cabbages and Kings New Year’s Irresolutions
Yay! Cereal marshmallows! Yay! Gus and Pru! Yay! Cereal marshmallow shaped like Gus and Pru!
Wait. You didn’t actually say that. But it would be an awesome idea anyway. Gus and Pru marshmallow cereal…. could you make that so I don’t have to?
I can’t wait for all the things you do so I don’t have to. I think when I’m in ski club, I’ll go down a black diamond so YOU don’t have to. Unless you want to of course.
And giving away the ending to Lost? Who would do such a thing?? Oh well, I’ll end up watching it the night its on anyway. But WILL they make it back to the island? Or will they not?
Two things came to mind…
*Could you clean out the garbage disposal hole with a toothbrush so I don’t have to? It gets all grimy & gets such a build up inside the little rubber “sink hole” and really needs to be scrubbed. But I hate doing it.
*Could you choose a first grade homeschool curriculum for us? I spend hours going back and forth…it woudl be easier if you could just decide
I can’t wait to see what you have planned!!!
HappyCampers’s last blog post..Saxon Phonics…Working It’s Magic
Geez. Good luck with all of these request. I’m going to cut you some slack and not throw in a request, but I sure look forward to see how you survive some of these. Lol!
Babs - beetle: Really? I’m honored. OK. No boogaloos. Thank you!!!
The Hawg!: Oh, dear. It’s the nerves of steel I lack. I’ve seen the videos of “Thanksgivings Gone Wrong: Burn Victims Edition.” I think we’ll all be better off if you do this one so I don’t have to. I’m looking forward to reading about it.
Trade Show Guru: Oh! Let me clarify: I gave away the ending to Lost from the season before last. So if you’re caught up, no problems. It was kind of a funny situation. I would NEVER reveal spoilers about my favorite show. NEVER! Now, as for Costco, I do belong to a Sam’s Club and successfully manage to avoid eating any of their free samples ever since I saw a mouse running around the aisles. But I don’t know if I could bring myself to leave without buying anything. Can I steal something?
Karen, author of “My Funny Dad, Harry”: Um . . . no. I would file this under “scary.” But it sounds like you’d do a great job—all you need is the video camera! Please do it! And tape it so we can all enjoy the fun vicariously!
Jenn Thorson: Groan. My method is pretty simple. I give them about 3 seconds and then hang up. Quick and painless. That’s if I even answer the phone. Which I don’t. Quicker and painless-er.
Regan: Please see my comment above re: Lost. Rest assured: this is a spoiler-free blog. (Tho I did read somewhere that the black smoke monster is actually . . . just. black. smoke.) Gus and Pru cereal marshmallows is a perfectly brilliant idea. I will see what I can do. Gus is kind of round, and Pru is tube-shaped, so at least they have different shapes. And, yes, please DO the skiing so I don’t have to. I like my bones just how they are.
HappyCampers: OK, my friend, where do you live? I have quite a supply of toothbrushes (brand-new) and would be happy to do some scrubbing. But the curriculum thing—I can barely remember 1st grade. Was there penmanship? And . . . recess? Um . . . lemme get back to you.
RedRaider: Ha! Thanks. I know my lovely readers and figured they’d throw out some crazy requests. I will do my best!
hi JD,
(big sigh of relief)
Good to hear you won’t be giving away the ending to the current season (or soon to start season) of Lost. I will remain happily subscribed to your most wonderful blog!

Trade Show Guru’s last blog post..How to Discipline your Children - A Better Way
I’ll look into the BlogHer convention.
I just posted about my Midway/Chicago Police Department experience, so stop by if you want to check it out.
The Osmosis isn’t working. I want to learn how to add those tabs like you have on your header for “Home, About, Archives and Awards and Honors”. Well, that’s a good start anyway, I feel like my blog is getting all junked up with too much stuff and I need to organize it better.
I got my topic for my guest blog gig, such that it is, be sure to look for it Saturday at http://iamharriet.blogspot.com/.
Lola’s last blog post..By Special Request…
Ha, I have found a way to figure out who to feature (of my many facets) for my Ask… articles. Of course, now you have to vote EACH AND EVERY WEEK or I’ll weep into my tea.
Also, I’ve been actually funny today. Only only Bob and I know it.
So I took care of a and c so you didn’t have to.
No help on b, though, because you couldn’t get me into heels at gunpoint.
Stephanie Barr’s last blog post..Friday - Ask Madame Know-It-All
Trade Show Guru: Phew. I’m breathing a big sigh of relief! Since Feedburner shows my subscriber count as “0″ I can’t afford to lose ANYone.
Lola: Oooh, goodie. Yes, I’ll check out your Police Post and your guest post on I Am Harriet. Those tabs at the top of my blog are part of the theme and, I think, a feature of most (all?) Wordpress blogs. Instead of writing a new post, you write a new page. But since you’re on blogspot, I’m not sure how ya do it. I’ll keep trying the osmosis, tho.
Stephanie Barr: (weeps into tea) You don’t need me at all any more, do you? Well, at least you can still steal your comments here. On my way to check out your funniness (which, in my opinion, has ALWAYS been there).
JD. of course I need you. You think of ideas of things to do that I never would have thought of. If it weren’t for you, I would never have known what not to do and might have accidently done it. Which, when it comes to things like cereal marshmallows, might not have been a bad thing, but mostly, yeah, I’m glad you’re there to do them for me.
I’ll come up with something else and did you forget B? Wearing heels?
(I can’t actually weep into my tea; I despise tea. I’ll have to weep into my husband’s tea and he HATES when I do that, so PLEASE vote for my next Ask article).

Here’s to another year of Doing Things!
JD,
Wouldn’t that be wild if the person we know that is going to the inauguration is the same person? I missed the Answer Angel in the Chicago Tribune, but I can’t imagine my former friend would write the trib, nor that she would worry about what to wear off the rack because back in the day when I knew her, (we briefly worked at an antique shop together), she had her skirts and winter coat made by a seamstress. Maybe now that she was children, that may not be in the budget?

JD, darling, you forgot to vote (but thank you for your question - an “Ask” article is useless without questions). *Sniff* Now, Lee will have salty tea!
Stephanie Barr’s last blog post..Friday - Ask Madame Know-It-All
Stephanie Barr: Well, I’m glad I’m good for something. And I can probably do the high heels after my bunion surgery in February. I’m thinking I’ll be doing a lot of things then.
I was looking for some kind of fancy voting doo-hickey. Are we just voting via comments? For Rocket Scientist or Tarot Queen? It wasn’t too clear . . . I don’t want Lee to have salty tea!
diesel: Hear, hear. Or is that “Here, here”? Oh, well. Thanks for stopping by!
Lola: It would be wild, but the person I know has no kids. Too bad. I’d love to find out more gossip about her, which you might be able to provide, even thirdhand. She’s my brother’s ex-wife, by the way.
Happy New Year!!
I’d like you to master the power nap so I don’t have to (I prefer to maintain my minimum 2 hour naps).

Can’t you see the poll on the sidebar! Ack! Maybe that’s why no one’s voting?
You can just tell me if you want (and can’t see it): the choices for next week are Ask the:
(a) Seasoned Mom
(b) Snarky Smart-Alec
(c) Movie-a-Holic
(d) Angsty Teen (channelling my daughter)
(e) Dragon (long story)
I’ll count your vote! Hurray, Lee’s tea will be saved!

Will you go on a road trip with a 5-year old with nothing to do? Or will you go to a broadway show?
Nanny Goats in Panties just blogged about expired cold medicine. So if you could take expired cold medicine so we don’t have to, that would be great.
Sue’s last blog post..Don’t Do Anything Stupid
On many a previous post, I have suggested ideas for your “I do things so you don’t have to posts” and now that you are actually asking for things, I can’t come up with one stinking lousy idea. Don’t it figure? All I can come up with is lame stuff like, I waxed my back so you don’t have to (which only works if you’re a hairy guy, like me) or I took Beano so you don’t have to. And trust me, even if you did take Beano, I’d still need to. LOL

chat blanc: Happy New Year to you! Oh, boy. I’m afraid I’m no good at the power nap. If I lie down to sleep, that’s usually it, no matter what time it is. Sleep for my body means an uninterrupted chunk, preferably 10 hours.
Stephanie Barr: I did see it! And I voted. As I said in my comment, it was probably there; I was just looking in the wrong place. I want my vote to count! And I don’t want Lee drinking salty tea!!
Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutor: HA! I hope you’re not disappointed by the Wizard of Cheese. I doubt if it will make you feel very hungry, at least.
Brooke: I will definitely go to a Broadway show. I’m going to see “Jersey Boys” in Chicago in February. Does that count?
Sue: I read that excellent post! I thought she took expired medicine so I wouldn’t have to! Regardless, I will root around my medicine cabinet and see what I can find.
Preston: I know you’ve made suggestions before, and I can’t remember them either. I’m afraid waxing my back would be pointless (I hope). I will try Beano, tho! That would not be pointless. And tho you’d still have to take it, at least we’d be Beano friends.
Alex: I’m excellent at being lazy, so consider it done. I think this is my favorite request so far!
Yes it does, but you have to right about it.
Where do I begin?
For starters, you can do poop patrol, so I don’t have to!
Our black Lab, Clarence, would certainly appreciate it, as well as out little boy Brady.
Let me know. The trash man comes on Wednesdays.
Hey, here’s one: you can write a post for my blog!! Isn’t that a great idea??!!

I would like you to go on dates 3-15 with the nice lady I just met, so I don’t have to. You can let me know if she’s worth my time, and then the awkward “getting to know you” stage will be over.
Thank you.

I shall like you to go and sleep for me. I wish to go to sleep for one week and to live without computers and Internet. Perhaps I am tired of 2008.
Brooke: OK, I will definitely write about it. Hopefully we’ll have good seats so I can at least see what’s going on.
PaulsHealthBlog.com: Poop patrol?! I don’t even do that for my own cats! Hmmm. Surely we can compromise? I’ll patrol the poop if you pick it up. How’s that?
feefifoto: Another guest post offer! Woo! I’m in!
Baron von Rochester: Ooh, this sounds like a fun one! I don’t have to put out, do I? (That’s usually on date 1, tho, for me, so I guess I’m safe). I’ll just need a detailed report of what exactly constitutes “worth your time” so I can make an accurate assessment. Wheee! I get to date a lady!
Sabac: Oh, boy, have you come to the right place. Sleep is my favorite thing in the world. But no computers or Internet? That’s a tough one.
I am so totally going to take you up on this, if I can afford the air fare and hotel bills to fly you out here and put you up for a couple of weeks.

Baron von Rochester: Yes! Do it! I need a vacation! Tho it sounds like it might not be much of a vacation, but I’m game if you are.
I’ve always wondered what would happen if you mixed up Preparation H and Colgate. Still works … or not?
Roxy’s last blog post..warlord0 has addded Feel Like Complaining to their favorite blogs.
Roxy: What is that combination supposed to result in? I’ll do it—if you can guarantee it won’t explode in my face!
