I need your help! I wrote myself a to-do list. The last item on the list (along with "laundry" and "clean") is "BG". I wrote it mere hours ago and now I have no idea what that means. Now is your chance to have me perform creative tasks! What does BG mean?

Buy ganja

If Google is any indication, it may be related to Bungie stock, or perhaps to Bulgaria.

Buy gas. BenGay. Blow Grammaw. Buy girlfriend.

This is actually really bugging me. I'm too young to forget things so quickly! There is a lesson here...

Are you absolutely sure it says BG?

I must say this at least once a day, but...can you scan it?

posted by iconomy 23 May | 19:48

Nope, kd, I abbreviate it BSG. My internal translation of "BG" is "Baldur's Gate", but I haven't played it in years and that's not it either!

Here is the post-it. (Laundry's done! Yay!)

I'm going to go clean for a while. Maybe it'll come to me.

posted by mike9322 23 May | 19:53

Bag garbage?

posted by killdevil 23 May | 19:55

You probably meant to play Baldur's Gate.

Did you kidnap anyone named Barry, Robin, Maurice or Andy lately? Perhaps they need to be fed or even released.

posted by jrossi4r 23 May | 20:05

BG2 is my favorite PC game of all time, agro.

I can't understand why I'd abbreviate a task in the first place. Who wrote this note anyway?

"Buff groin" is on my daily to-do list, OS.

*hands signal a tissue*

Almost done cleaning and still nothing. I'm starting to wonder if I meant to write something else and muscle memory spit out BG for whatever reason. I am at a total loss. I bet it was important.

"Clean" has been becrossed. Now I have an incompete to-do list and no way to complete it.

Hmm.

Bugger Golfers.

Bury Giraffe.

That's a pretty big task, after all, and you'd have to budget time for it. Especially if rigor's set in.

Buy Giraffe? Then next week's BG would be solved. No, you can't just leave them with a hot rock and some crickets.

bring gothlaundry. Of course! Always essential!

Bury Giraffe.

posted by ColdChef 23 May | 21:56

I'm sure you're aware of the coming "Y2K7 Bug" that will spread panic and chaos and destruction and panic and food shortages and panic throughout the world, so it was probably "buy gun".

Or "bury grandma". I know most people put that off until the last minute.

posted by cmonkey 23 May | 22:00

Oh, of course! Butter Gnus. Have you buttered your gnu yet today?

I'll admit to being partial to jan's suggestion. Though I don't expect Mr. G will appreciate it much.
