Assignment 6: Coke Date

If you go out to a cafe or eating establishment, send over a round of Cokes to a table - no booze or hooch, just soda pop. Oh it will make someone's day.

Assignment 5: Help! I need somebody!

Today's assignment requires a little beforehand knowledge, but it's nothing the most savvy of you can't put together:

Quote a Beatles song in an everyday conversation.

It can be a total non sequiter ('Hey, how are you tod-' 'I AM THE WALRUS! KOO KOO KATCHOO!") or have it fit in beautifully ('How was your date last night?' 'She was just seventeen, if you know what I mean.').

The point is to make it work for you.

...

If you've never heard a Beatles song before, or you don't know any of their lyrics, what rock are you living under?!? But if you need a little help from your friends, check out this site.

Assignment 4: Winks McGee.

Wink at a member of the opposite sex when no one is looking.

And then when they act like "Shazam, I've won myself a hottie," act offended that they would even IMAGINE they had a chance with you.


(...though, if they are hot and you are hot, go for it, and invite us to the wedding!)

Assignment 3: Prank call!

Prank call your sibling. Or siblings.*

Use any variation you like, be it from the Jerky Boys, to Adam Sandler, to just shouting "Prank Call!" into the phone.

But please, please be careful. Cell phones tend to have user ID, and Arrested Development taught us that prank calls don't work so well if they know who it is when they answer.

Lemme know how it goes.

*And if you don't have a sibling, prank call your closest friend, or someone who is like a sibling to you.

Assignment 2: Post It, Sucka!

POST IT NOTE = the greatest invention ever.

Take a yellow Post It note and write "Don't Forget to Buy Eggs" and then put it on someone's computer. Extra points if it is a stranger. :)

Assignment 1: High five a stranger.

This assignment I stole from Elizabeth, so she gets some credit.

Today, I want you to go out and high five someone. Anyone. It doesn't matter who. High five the lady you pass at the super market. High five the woman who babysits your children. High five the mailman. If you're walking on a sidewalk on campus, see if you can get a whole crowd to high five you while you shout "Good game, good game.." each and every time you make contact with their hands.

This is an important assignment, and will only make your day better, because no one can frown after getting a high five.

No one.

Lemme know how it goes.
