Things To Do When You're Bored*
By Jenny Parker
1. Drop five Mentos into a two-liter bottle of Diet Coke. It's a riot every time!
2. Go someplace where there's lots of people sitting down, like a waiting room, and yawn a few times. It's fun to watch it work around the room.
3. Growl softly.
4. Smile at everyone you see. It makes people wonder what you're up to.
5. Get an empty two-liter bottle (use the bottle from #1) and some dry ice that's been cut into narrow pieces. Go someplace big and empty, like a field or the United Center during a Blackhawks game. Put the ice in the bottle, add some water, seal it up tight then run far away and wait. The ice melts, releasing carbon dioxide and consequently dramatically increasing the pressure in the bottle. Eventually....KA-BLAMMO! Fun fun silly willy!
6. Go somewhere really crowded, preferably the mall at Christmas time. Get near the middle of the building and yell "MOM!!!" really loud. This works even better if you can get a kid to do it for you.
7. Run up the down escalator. This only works until the security personnel ask you to leave.
8. Ride trikes at Wal-Mart at two in the morning. This also only works until you are asked to leave.
9. (works best with a friend) When you get kicked out of Wal-Mart, buy a box of white chalk on your way out. Take it around town and take turns lying down in parking lots and have your friend draw a chalk outline of you. Presto! Instant crime scene.
10. Get a bucket of soapy water and some methane gas. Bubble the gas through the water, and as methane is lighter than air, you can create impossibly high soap bubble towers. Now the fun part...light it! FOOM! I love that sound.
11. Get a box you can fit comfortably in and set it in the parking lot of a shopping center. Add a sign that says "Free to Good Home" and hop in.
12. Get someone drunk and then have them tip the bartender everywhere you go. Suggest the amount of the tip to them and see if you can set a new record.
13. Say "adjectival". It's a fun word.
14. Practice doing headstands. Someday you may even learn how.
* Some of these may be dangerous. I'm not responsible for your stupidity.
