Advice For Ladies

Ladies, you gotta

Think like a man,

Act like a lady,

Sleep like a baby, 

Eat like a bird,

Drink like a fish,

Fuck like a hooker,

Curse like a sailor,

Rock like a hurricane,

Drive like a robot,

Kill like a soldier,

Walk like a crab,

Fight like an inmate,

Die like a cat (9 times),

Have an exoskeleton like a roach,

Be mealy like an old pear,

Contain beans, rice, cheese and meat like a flour tortilla,

And also have a penis like a man.

TRUST ME LADIES!

4/20 Narc-Spotting Tips

BROTHERS! SISTERS!!! FRIENDS!! Before you put anything in the air today, make sure everyone around you is cool. Is there someone there who you’ve never met before? Maybe someone you’ve known for a lot less time than everyone else? Well… they could be a NARC! An undercover narcotics officer! Here are some dead giveaways: 

  • The tags are still on their cargo pants and generic t-shirt with a skateboard on it.
  • They keep whispering into the flower on their lapel.
  • They have a mustache (applies to 7th-11th graders especially).
  • They drive a Crown Victoria that they “inherited from their Gam-Gam.”
  • They say, “pass me Exhibit A” referring to the joint that’s going around.
  • They ask, “Is anyone else experiencing a sense of euphoria from the illegal substance we’ve all ingested?”
  • They transferred to your school after moving from Anytown, USA.
  • They want to know if you want to “go to a rock concert at the local music hall.”
  • They arrest you for possession of marijuana.

Valentines Day Tips: How To Make It “Special”

  1. Candy is SO ??-2011. This year, get your V-tine a glob of hummus that you can both (Ghost-pottery style) form it into the shape of a heart.
  2. February 14th is the perfect time to reveal that less-than-normal fetish of yours. If it’s REALLY elaborate, you can even go to the grocery/car repair store to gather the “ingredients” (car battery, anti-freeze, kale). It’ll be like a scavenger hunt!
  3. For Guys: Don’t watch a Ryan Gosling movie with your significant other on V-Day unless you ARE Ryan Gosling. It makes their expectations TOTALLY unreasonable. Otherwise, you might be asked to wear a paper bag to bed or draw Sharpie abs. 
  4. Cooking for a loved one is a great way to anyone’s heart. That’s why if you’re going to stay in, it’s important to properly dispose of all fast food wrappers in a safe location before serving (under a mattress usually works), and you can’t forget to scrape the “Oreo” logo off the cookies before you put them on a baking sheet in the oven.
  5. Compliments are always nice, so if you’re dating someone less worthy of praise* out of desperation, it’s good to give generic compliments so you don’t sound inauthentic. For example, “You’ve got a really good way about you,” “I like what you’re doing with this whole thing,” and ”I am fine with how everything is.”

Good luck, you red hot lovers. Enjoy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all get crazy laid. 

*A super gross uggo.

Actual Resolutions

These are just small enough to work…

1. At no point will I audibly discuss any fitness/health goals, so I don’t have to feel bad for constantly breaking them.

2. No more smiling and laughing when I don’t hear what someone says in a crowded/loud setting. I vow to ask them to repeat themselves as many times as is necessary.

3. In compliance with my mom’s life long advice to me, I will buy 2 pairs of sneakers and alternate between them so neither gets warn out first. Just to see what it feels like.

4. Fewer hoodies! More sweaters!

5. Minimize annoyances. Maximize happiness!

6. Buy/use a cast iron skillet.
