Shaking The Dust Off. Post some suggestions for things for me to do. I may do them. There could be pictures later.

Pick my kid up from school so I can finish working on the garden.

SHAKE YOUR TAIL FEATHER.

Oh sorry, I thought you were the Burger King Chicken for a minute.

Draw me a picture of a horse.

Name your liver and strike up a conversation over drinks?

Make out with Orange Swan on the TTC.

I'm seconding "shake your tailfeather" actually.

Pick a small bouquet of flowers and give them to a random stranger. Alphabetize your pantry. Experiment with temporary haircolor.

Send a copy of your Mix CD to Tim O'Reilly.

Aw, what a sweet horse!

Penciled in for tonight, I'm thinking Tom Purple Tesla The Third.

OMG, I love your drawing.

I really need a good back rub. Can you manage that?

posted by Lola_G 24 May | 12:28

Put on as many of your clothes as you can- pants over pants, shirts over shirts, ties over ties.

I had to scan that in on the work scanner, which is in a semi-public area, I think if I had gotten caught, it would have been hard to explain.

Pick a small bouquet of flowers and give them to a random stranger.

I think this is charming from a girl, but possibly creepy from a dude, also Toronto has a pretty strict 'no flowers' policy, but I'll see what I can do.

Experiment with temporary haircolor.

Genetics precludes this, at least anywhere I'd post pictures of.

Alphabetize your pantry.

Will do.

oops, screwed that up
I can if your back can come to my office or the bar where I'll be talkin' with Tom tonight.

You've seen this thread, right?

Dance a lively Irish jig.

posted by porpoise 24 May | 12:45

WAIT! I figured out what you can do!!!

Put 1/2 dozen spider monkeys in your underpants and do the cabana boy dance. Then upload the film to YouTbe!

Create your own music video! Or, if you do not have a video camera, illustrate your favorite song in still photos.

posted by LeeJay 24 May | 13:23

Hadn't seen it, Capn, but I still want you to put on all your clothes.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 24 May | 13:31

This is pretty much the opposite of what I want a woman to say to me.

posted by Capn 24 May | 13:33

I offer choices:

A) I definitely want to see you illustrate your favorite song (good idea, LeeJay). I love that horse. I would require you to use a thicker marker though.

B) Explain that toronto map to non-toronto-ians, with photographs, and still keep the "humor".

C) Take self-portrait series while eating. Just hold the camera at arms length with one hand and spoon some yogurt or something in your mouth with the other. If you're dexterous with legs, feet and / or toes they can be put to use as well. Actually, if you could combine this one with ThePinkSuperHero's request that'd be tops.

Thanks, Capn!
