I have no idea how Garry came up with this genius plan to buy a large order of exercise bikes from me. What are the chances of him knowing that I run an underground wholesale exercise equipment business? That little sneaky Garry.
I e-mailed him all my bank and credit card info, and I suggest if there is anyone else out there with a business like mine (wink-wink), you need to e-mail Garry right away. This truly could be our flight to financial freedom.
My Friend, Zach Ayers, thought that I made up the above e-mail from Garry, probably due to my sarcastic response. He went ahead and e-mailed Garry a nice little note. It goes as follows:

Grarry,
I have hoped you could pay me bike for exercise. Legs are strong and need strong bike. How much for your wife? Your wife and little girl? How much?

This week’s theme: How to Get Someone to Love You
Situation:
You’re a man and this is the first or second date with a girl you like. Things go well, so you both decide to go back to your place. Here’s what you should do:
1) Make sure you clean your toilet. Girls don’t like filthy toilets.
2) Place a few scented candles around the place and plug in a nightlight somewhere; those things make people feel safe for some reason.
3) Have a few ALIVE plants around so you look like a nature lover/ someone who can take care of something else. Pets are better than plants here, and both are a guaranteed homerun.
4) Photoshop yourself on a few book covers and cover really big books with them – claim you wrote them or they are about you. She’ll be very impressed! She’ll probably want to look at them, don’t stop her. Instead, have all the pages glued together – say it was a mean prank your friend Joe pulled on you. Bonus points: have your date’s name in the title and go on about “I know, what are the chances.”
5) Make your bed and move the TV close to it. If you have other TVs, hide them. While you are on your date, find out her favorite movies. For example, “Cocoon” and “Terms of Endearment.” Say, “Wow, what a coincidence, I just rented those, I have them at home.” Excuse yourself, call your buddy and have him rent those two movies and leave them by the TV. Important note: make sure he rents one wildcard movie, in this case, “Awakenings.” When she comes back to your place, has downed a few beers from eating the salty foods you laid out, ask her if she’d like to just watch a bit of one of her favorite movies. You’ll have to watch them while sitting on the bed, which most likely will lead to other things.
6) Have some people leave really important messages on your answering machine. At some point, either right when you get home or after you’ve offered her a beverage, say that you were expecting an important call and you need to check your messages. Go and check the answering machine – play it loud so she can clearly hear it. Here are a few examples messages:
“Hi (your name here) this is Tim Johnson with the US Department of Public Transportation. It was wonderful meeting you last week and we’ve decided to go ahead with your proposal on biothermal powered public buses. We just need to do some paperwork before we can officially get you the long-overdue research funding. Please give a call at your earliest convenience.”
“Hey (your name here), it’s Todd. Call me back man.” (You have to have at least one of these to make it more real)
“Hello (your name here). It’s Gina Smith with Harvard’s Department of Criminal Justice. We would like to schedule a time in November for you to give the students a lecture on your incredible Panopticon research. Please call my office at your earliest convenience. 617-495-1000.”
“Hey (your name here). It’s Sam over at GQ, can you shoot Will Ferrell tomorrow for July’s cover story. That’d be awesome, oh, and sorry for the short notice, you can do it over at Anthem Studios in Hollywood. The shoot begins at 8am, Annie Leibovitz backed out at the last minute, she can be SO hard to deal with. I’m ranting, call my cell right away. 917.846.9876. Thanks so much, I owe you one.”
7) Have your place a bit warm (e.g. turn on the heat). This does one of two things or both, girls tend to run a bit on the cooler side, so she will be comfortable and/or clothing has to be shed, jackets, long shirts and shoes. This is slightly creepy and you may not want to follow through with this one.

I bring to you Handy Hand a.k.a. Omnidexterous. This eventually happens to humans because we need to type faster than ever in the future where there is so much information to keep track of and so many people to keep in touch with.
The above picture scared the hell out of my mom, so much she had to turn her computer off. She asked me to make a cuter version. I took off all but two little hands and it is still scary. Sorry Mom.

Kraft Buys Moon
The evolution of advertising. Kraft purchases the Moon from Neil Armstrong (who, it turns out, legally owns it because he signed his name in the dust first). Kraft uses the Moon as a giant billboard and deems it “Space Kraft.” After the initial chuckle, citizens of Earth begin to protest the Moon’s defacing. Outrage is heightened when Kraft’s CEO, Chuck Roberts, gave a speech earlier this morning, claiming “Kraft had every right to do this because the Moon is ours and I always believed the satellite was made of cheese.” Earth’s profit participation in Kraft brings new intergalactic wealth to the planet, sending Alpha Centauri’s Jabooli Centavo in the toilet.
Doritos (Frito Lay) Stakes Claim to the Giza Pyramids
The evolution of advertising. Doritos (Frito Lay) originally wanted to replace the sand around the Pyramids with “orange cheese dust,” but environmentalists protested the action claiming it would not only wreak havoc on the local flora and fauna but could cause terrible allergic reactions in humans (much like Doritos do). Doritos (Frito Lay) and lobbyists eventually reached a compromise – print the Doritos logo on the Pyramids themselves. The Egyptian government is pleased with the new source of revenue, but tourists are displeased.
Viagra’s New Guerilla Campaign, A Success?
The evolution of advertising. US Citizens were appalled today when Viagra painted their logo on the Washington Monument, not because they ruined an American icon, but because it was just too damn obvious. Coca-Cola, the owner of the monument, is suing.
