I'm An Annoyinist!!

You know what’s funny? Ever since I left my job I have struggled with things to write about. I guess not having that twisting knife in my back that was a crappy job takes the edge off of me…good for the blood pressure but not the creative juices. I have no pressure be it real or manufactured to transfer humor neurons to my fingers and thus typing a caustic or sardonic post. I guess I just do much better in my life when there is a crisis or a sense of chaos.

I have been pacing and pacing the apartment floor this morning trying to devise a way to create that fear, loathing, and disorganization that I need in order to once again produce a story worthy of all the fine readers that grace the manor that is Bagwine Ruminations. I may have found it. I may do some things that, while not anything close to terrorism, may pique the interest of the authorities, thereby covering me in a blanket of anxiety…just enough anxiety to put me back into my writing zone.

I was thinking that I could perpetrate some acts that are not deadly but yet invoke a sense of annoyance into the populous and the powers that be. For instance, I could concoct a plan that threatens the city’s water supply. Anthrax? No….Typhoid? No. I was thinking that I could infiltrate our water plant and pour yellow food coloring into the supply. Can you imagine the look on people’s faces when they turn on their faucet to get a drink of cool refreshing water and out comes a cascading stream of what appears to be urine!? Priceless!!

I don’t want to keep the police from making their important calls but wouldn’t it be funny if I could sneak into the cop car garage under cover of darkness and do a little re-wiring? I could hook up the brake light wires to the siren of every police car and every time they touched their brakes the siren would go off. It would be a hoot to know that every time an officer touched the brakes an innocent driver would freak out and the policeman would have coffee all over his or her chest.

I could create havoc for gas station attendants by removing the 3 on the price board thus alerting drivers that gas is only .25 cents per gallon, oh the back-ups that would create. Not to let the grocery stores off of the hook, on every store marquee I would put a message up that said, “Free Beer and Ribeye Steaks.” I could even put a note on every McDonald’s Drive-Thru Menu that says, “Issuance of Big-Mac Subject to Physician’s Approval.” Fun times indeed…

The possibilities are endless. If you have any other suggestions of fun non-terrorist activities, please pass them on. Until then,
Cheers.

Note: Ten minutes after posting this there was knock on the door followed by a smoky discharge into the apartment. I am not sure…what…it…was, but I…I mean….Bush Good…Stay the Course…Cheney Rocks…I love Karl Rov-…Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

After the drugs wear off, drop me an e-mail. I can help you with the notices and things so they look sharp. Also, vinyl application is way easier than spray paint and everybody will assume you're supposed to be there.

Schmoop said...

Nothing says "official" Marilyn like a well done silkscreen or sublimation process. Cheers!!

Fun thing to do is to close a store that's open 24 hours. When a patron questions the closure by saying, "It says you're open 24 hours!" You can reply, "We are, but not in a row!"

I know, sorry.

Believe me, in NYC, sometimes the water turns completely BLACK! (BLECK!) So, we're used to that. But, yeah, yellow water would certainly worry me.

I'm concerned about you --- I can totally picture you in your little terrorist cell right now plotting some urine concoction..............Hmm.

Matt-man, you don't need any help in the writing dept. Just keep coming up with those wonderful ideas. I'm in stiches here! So much so, that I am getting strange looks from my boss.

I wonder if I had anything to do with the memo we just got passed to us?

*shrugs* Oh well. If y'all will excuse me, I'm off for my mandatory drug testing now...

Liz Hill said...

Are you sure it wasn't the Right Reverend Hinn?

Lee Ann aka Dixie said...

buwhahahahahahaahaha *breaths* buwhhahahahahahahaaha...

I'd flip if I turned on my water and it ran yellow ...

Unknown said...

LMAO! The police thing killed me. I would absolutely love to see that!

I'm similar in requiring some kind of pressure on my back in order to be either productive or creative. Of course it can go too far in the other direction. Lately, I've been feeling so bogged down that I haven't been able to put forth a damn thing. So there is definitely a balance. I feel like I'm starting to creep back out of my writing funk though. Slowly but surely. ;)

Schmoop said...

Deb dont worry, if I became a terrorist it would be strictly just for the cool clothes!!

Angell: Thanks and Good luck with the drug test. I hope you studied hard.

TB: Hmmmmmmmm. Not a bad theory. He does have a motive.

Dixie: If I saw yellow coming out of my faucet, I would say, "Hey, free Mountain Dew!!" Cheers...

Allie: I did have my apprehensions even joking about this subject on here. I know that you'll fully de-funkify soon. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Nick: I am sorry I omitted ya. Um...are you okay?

Lisa Ryan said...

Oh how I love a deviant mind.

change the traffic lights so they turn green for no longer than 5 seconds.

replace the police department pen supplies with those "shock pens"

:-)

Schmoop said...

Ha...Thank you for adding to the list Lisa. Of course there's an old classic I may try. I may go stand at a busy intersection and stare and point into the sky as if there is something happening in the up there. People are stupid enough to look up as well, causing a great number of rear end accidents...Cheers!!

Flip me over and do me dry...how the hell are you?

Email me

Schmoop said...

Jeez, in spite of your comment I'll email you HairCare.

Cinnamon Girl said...

ROFL!

Don't Drink the Kool Aide, my friend. And I have to admit if I saw a Micky D's sign with that on it, I might drive off the road. Do that one. Purdy please, and take a picture!

Schmoop said...

Ha...Wild Irish Rose is a great antidote to the Bush Plague. Now that you mention it, I may just do that Starrlight. Oh yeah, I can see that sign hanging soon. Thanks and Cheers.

You're being responsible and Lindsay Lohan may actually dry out...It's the end of the world as we know it. Cheers!!

OMG!!! I think I peed myself! Anarchy in the streets!! Please video any and all acts!!!

cathy said...

umm, have you tried housework. the sheer mindless tedium leaves such a vaccum that stuff just rushes in to fill the void.

Lizza said...

Or you can just resort to good old flashing, Matt-man. Maybe the reactions you get will inspire you. Or not.

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

tsk tsk tsk.... no flaming bags of dog shit on the front steps of the police station? No potatoes in the tailpipes of the firetrucks so they can't roll?
No scattering of cockroaches in the produce department of the local Winn Dixie?

Schmoop said...

I'll tape it and send it metalmom. Cheers!!

Cathy I vacuum all the time but it ends up in being a sexual thing...It's not pretty.

Lizza: I think that would get me nothing but laughs.

Bond: Send me those instructions and I'll work on it.

Schmoop said...

And Bond: I phoned that response in. ; )

Well, they did arrest a major spammer today in Seattle. You could take his place.

Schmoop said...

Ha. I saw that and I do love SPAM so...
