PICTURE OF THE WEEK
September 22, 2003

When Sean and I first met we were broke. And we were dorks. Today not much has changed. However, we used to like to go out and get drunk at bars. However, we didn't have enough money to get drunk and were forced to sit soberly and watch guys in shiny bowling shirts with flame trim get all the hot chicks while Sean and I had to ride home in his '85 Ford Escort Station Wagon (aka Red Thunder) alone.

One day we came up with an idea that allowed us to spend little to no money and have fun at swanky bars on our own terms. And it also ensured that we would never get laid, which was good because it probably would have been a complete shock to either of our systems and Sean had a girlfriend at the time.

So, we went to Staples and bought $8 dollars worth of make your own inkjet business cards. Then we went to the .99 Cent Store and bought $5 worth of rainbow erasers. Then we went home and downloaded a piece of cute bunny and baby chick clip-art. We combined all three using Microsoft Publisher into the awesomest business card in the history of awesome.

Once we made the cards we both put on jeans and old sweatshirs and headed to 3 Clubs. Inside the club we each ordered a beer and hid out in a corner booth until the bar got really full. Then we spread out and set down a card and an eraser on every table in the place. It made people really pissed. Nobody wants to be reminded that there are hungry people in the world, especially on a Friday night when they're drinking an $8 apple martini and waiting for their coke dealer to call them back on their cell. Hardly any of the people took the time to read the card all the way through, and the very few that did laughed and laughed. Or, wanted to beat us up.

Try it next time you go out for a night on the town. You'll be glad that you did. Unless you are trying to get laid and/or not beaten up. If so, then you'll be really angry at us. Sorry.
