5 Ways to Avoid the Swine Flu

May 3rd, 2009

Pig love

1.  Wash your hands often with soap or other people with soap. If they protest they probably have the swine flu.

2.  Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Do not used gravy-based sanitizers.

3.  Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in trash after you use it. Then throw that trashcan through a store window and take what you need. It’s everyman for himself.

4.  Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way. Also avoid touching your privates. Sin is spread that way.

5.  Try to avoid close contact with sick people unless they are ’smoking hot’ and you are into them. In which case, buy them a drink. Use some sort of line like, “We need to stay hydrated. Doctor’s orders.” But don’t say it in a creepy way.

    Free Sketch - Proposition 12

    November 7th, 2008

    On the set of a ‘mac vs. PC’ style stage. A series of normal Americans address the camera earnestly.

    Man One
    With the recent triumph of proposition 8, the institution of marriage has been made a little safer, but there’s still more work to be done.

    Woman
    Alternative lifestyles continue to erode the traditions that generations of American-value loving Americans hold dear.

    Man Two
    That’s why next election you’ll be hearing more about Proposition 12.

    Woman
    Proposition 12.

    Man Two
    Prop 12.

    Woman
    An important new piece of legislation to continue the work we’ve started.

    Man Two
    A new law whose purpose is simple and to the point.

    Man One
    To stop gay people from looking at me.

    Man Two
    For too long, gay people have been looking at me.

    Woman
    Why?

    Man Two
    Why are you looking at me… gay person?

    Woman
    How much longer must Americans be made uncomfortable by gay people looking at them?

    Man Two
    Making eye contact at a grocery store.

    Woman
    Or the gym…

    Man Two
    Or a bathhouse.

    Woman
    Proposition 12 will ensure that Americans can feel safe again. By making it illegal for homosexuals to make eye contact with them. Or stand too closely.

    Man Two
    I mean, seriously. (emotional) Why are you looking at me?

    Man One
    America has been divided for too long. We need unity. And that’s what Prop 12 will provide. It will bring Americans together into two distinct unified groups.

    Woman
    So tell your friends about this important upcoming choice.

    Man One
    A new law that will require homosexuals to avoid eye contact with traditional Americans.

    Woman
    And wear this patch at all times. (Holds up a pink triangle patch).

    Man One
    Vote yes on Proposition 12.

    Woman
    I’m voting yes on Proposition 12.

    Man Two
    (just crying)

    Man One
    Vote yes.

    Man Two
    (still crying, transitions to blur)

    Super-imposed: Yes on Proposition 12

    Political Statement

    I recently discovered politicalbase.com and highly recommend it to any one interested in learning more about their politicians. They lay out information in an easy to navigate manner and list the total contributions each politician has received. You can browse by ‘issues’ to find out which politicians are doing what on the topics that you care about. Also their sign up process is fast and beautifully executed.

    Each candidate has a wiki style entry where users can upload and manage information. It’s light on some specific types of content (e.g. proposed legislation, bill tracking) but it shows tons of promise and will no doubt help usher in a new era of transparency.
