Day 30/30 = 1/1 = 1 Ways to avoid housework

Imagine your body has no bones, and lie on the couch and when you need to get a drink you roll off the couch and fall on the floor and keep rolling until you get to the fridge and find a damp puddle near the fridge and lick it up through the side of your mouth, and when you have to piss, just go in your underwear, and when you have to shit, just go in your underwear and just wallow in your shit and piss for the afternoon in your filth, and when your wife gets home, tell her you have no bones, so you couldn't do anything today.
Or you can get a pair of dice.  Walk out your front door, no matter what you are wearing and when you come to an intersection, roll the dice.  If the number is four or less you go left, if the numbers eight or less you go straight and if the numbers twelve or less, you go right.  If you have to piss or shit, don't bother finding a bathroom, just go right there.  Just keep going until you get hungry.  When you get hungry, run up to the nearest human, man, woman or child and try to mug them for their money.  And if you can find someone you can steal way their car, then repeat the same thing with the dice in the car.  Or you could break into a house and eat whatever's in their cupboards, and take anything you think you could sell.  Then run away hopefully before the cops come.  If they come, just lie on the ground and let them arrest you, and plead guilty and when you get to jail, then you will be fed, and your clothes will be washed, and you can watch tv or whatever.
That's just a couple of ways to avoid housework.

I just discovered I'm not the only one who's ulterior motive for buying the RV was in case of societal breakdown.
There's a whole subculture and there's a name for these vehicles and they come with an acronym:
the Bug-Out Vehicle or BoV.

Day 18/30 = 3/5 At This Moment...

..feeling annoyed and embarrassed by two douche-bags, I'm assuming to be Queens students, that flicked a laser pointer at the drive-thru worker at McDonald's.  Wishing I did lay on my horn when I passed them on the street but wasn't sure it came from them.
Also, happy that M&E came over this afternoon and hung out.  It was nice to just shoot the shit with them and funny to hear this crazy story about El Burrito.
Dreading working tomorrow, working on Sunday feels like a tombstone at the end of the week but I probably should be grateful I still got all my limbs.
Also, can't help thinking that the title of the post reminds me of that song on Family Ties, and how good Micheal J Fox was on that show, and how you don't see that kind of stuff anymore, but you do on HBO.
A little excited, a little anxious to see what's in store with school next week.  A little disappointed I didn't start the billion dollar business I wanted to this summer.  But I did have some good times with family and friends.
Play him off keyboard cat!
