Someone somewhere is: →[More:]
I did this once before, let's try it again:
Given the bazillion people on this planet, at this given moment, there is some one who is:
Cleaning the crap out of their gutters,
Sewing an obi;
Watching Dr. Phil;
Eating pickled fish;
Listing to Phish...
You go next!

How many do we get??

Picking through a rubbish dump
Diving in an underwater cave
Tickling a cat
Picking up the remains of their letterbox
Getting sunburned on the beach

That was fun!

I'm making feta and cutting a worm in half at the same time. It's called MULTITASKING.

thinking banana peels smell gross
contemplating their long commute
watching the ceiling fan blades make shadows
thinking these jeans must have shrunk in the dryer
going to be late for work.

ok, that's just me.

Someone, somewhere at this very moment, at some point on the planet is:
Cleaning out their belly button
Tilling soil
Scratching their cornea

Sitting in a waiting room reading an old magazine.
Scrambling eggs.
Driving a truckload of sparkly shirts to a Wal-Mart distribution center.
Smoking crack in an alley.
Kneeling in prayer.
Having an orgasm.
Debating whether to use "lie" or "lay".
Tuning a guitar.
Wondering if anyone would notice if they just up and left for the day.
Being born.
Dying.
Making a pointless list.

Having an orgasm.

At least 15 people are having orgasms.
And eating creme brulée
Traveling the world with a garden gnome
Spying jealously on their ex.
Working in a porn shop
Repairing a photo booth
Making other people happy

At this given moment, there is some one who is:

Getting breast implants shook in their face.
Trying to figure out how to sneak into Lollapalooza.
Facebook stalking someone they shouldn't be.
Watching The Brave Little Toaster.
Getting an anal bleaching.
Composing an AskMe question, then chickening out.

I once did a "back of the envelope" calculation that people around the world were having sex about 100 times a second. Maybe they should slow down a little

Dying

Trying to figure out if that thing they feel between their teeth (but can't dig out right now because they are in a business meeting) is a pubic hair.

Cleaning the refrigerator for the first time in over a year.

Wondering what that smell is.

Trying to move a 20 gallon container of olive oil.

Realizing that their lip gloss is rly rly old and gnarly and should totally be thrown out.

Wondering about the hair/fur between their dog's footpads

Arguing about gun control.

some of these things are not me
