Hello from BloggerCon 2!
Greetings to all from Harvard!
I’m currently sitting in the front row of Pound Hall at the Harvard Law School, where the opening session of BloggerCon 2 is taking place as I write this. I’ll post updates throughout the day, as the place is soaking in WiFi and interesting people.
I heard via Boing Boing that “Weird Al” Yankovic’s parents died from
carbon monoxide poisoning in their sleep on April 9th. Having recently
dealt the possibility of losing a parent, I have a faint idea of the
pain he must be feeling right now.
In spite of this, he says that he’s not cancelling any of his tour
dates (he is taking some time for himself by cancelling all interviews
and other PR-related activites). He’s also encouraging people to buy
carbon monoxide detectors for their houses.
From one accordion player/parodist to another, my heart goes out to you, Al.
Be sure to read Weird Al’s message to his fans.
“Come home with me! I’ll give you…THREE DOLLARS…”
[ via del.icio.us, which I really need to use more often ] How to use a hand puppet to meet, attract, and date tons of single women. Here’s the relevant snippet:
Let me explain – Well, I’ve got a friend that uses what I call, “The
Puppet Method” to meet single women in nightclubs. Here’s how he does
it:
-
First, you will need a hand puppet. You can buy them at your major toy stores such as Toys R Us.
-
Bring your hand puppet with you to a nightclub where there are lots of single ladies.
-
When you see a girl that you’re attracted to, approach her and tap her
on the shoulder lightly with your puppet and when she turns around
raise your hand puppet towards her face and say something like this
with your puppet, “Hi beautiful, would you like to dance with me?” Move
your puppet up and down with your hand as you are saying your script
just as if the puppet was really talking. And be sure to talk in a real
silly voice.
-
What happens next? She’s going to die laughing and think that you are
so funny. Plus, you will make a very favorable impression on her
because women love a guy with a sense of humor. And, of course, she
will most likely dance with you.
I know this method of meeting single women seems a little silly, but
try it. It works like a charm for my friend and it can work for you
too.
I’ll bet this could be turned into a decent social experiment / paying newspaper article. Hmm…
