like, "How was your day?"
and "What are your plans for tonight?" Act interested and write
all the responses down,
muttering things like, "Hmmm.... Very interesting." Call a local
radio station and report
the results.
112. Dump all of your roommate's laundry in the center of the room
in one big pile. Burn
it. If your roommate protests, explain that it was a sacrifice
to the "fashion gods".
113. Wait until your roommate is very tired. Insist that
you are a master of massage. Ask
your roommate to lie down. When he/she does, whack him/her in the
head with a
baseball bat. If your roommate is still alive, and protests, say,
"Oh, I must have done it
wrong. Let me try again." If your roommate is dumb enough to let
you try again, once
more hit him/her in the head with a baseball bat.
114. Complain often about having a loose tooth. When your
roommate isn't looking,
stuff your mouth with white marbles. Pretend to sneeze, and spew
the marbles all over
the place. Scream, and run out of the room.
115. Come into the room with a fire extinguisher hidden behind
your back. Ask your
roommate if he/she has a light. If he/she gives you one, spray
him/her with the fire
extinguisher. If he/she doesn't give you one, spray him/her anyway.
116. Put an umbrella up, over your bed. Sleep underneath
it at night. If your roommate
asks about it, respond by saying, "A storm's a-brewin'." Then,
one night, get a bucket of
water and dump it on your roommate while he/she is sleeping. Get
back into bed. If your
roommate asks about the incident, claim that you don't know what
happened.
117. Get a gasoline can and fill it up with water. Keep it under
your bed. Wait until your
roommate is around, and start running around the room. Then, collapse,
and say, "Damn,
I ran out of gas!" Crawl over to the gasoline can and drink from
it. Get up, and start
running around again.
118. Get two mannequins and keep them inside the room. Every day,
dress up one to
look like yourself, and the other to look like your roommate. One
day, position them so
that your mannequin is shaking the roommate mannequin's hand. Later
that day, shake
your roommate's hand. The next day, position them so that your
mannequin is kicking the
roommate mannequin. Later that day, kick your roommate. The next
day, position them
so that your mannequin is stabbing the roommate mannequin with
a really big knife.
Glare at your roommate for the rest of the day.
119. Keep a variety of bugs and insects inside a jar. Use a stethoscope
to "listen" to what
the insects are talking about. Act like you can't understand anything..
Then, at night, get
up suddenly, turn on the lights, and start yelling, "Shut up! I'm
trying to sleep! God, you
guys are so damn loud, I can't hear myself think!" Continue complaining
for about half an
hour. Do this every night until all of the insects are dead, at
which time, sob, sniff, and
say, "I'm gonna miss those guys."
120. Get an air pump. Put the end in your mouth, and start pumping.
Do so for a few
seconds. Repeat this action every day, eventually extending the
amount of "pumping"
time to several minutes. Then, one day, while your roommate is
out, get some blood,
intestines, and anything else you can find at the biology lab.
Scatter and smear these
things around the room, leaving the air pump in the center. Leave
your roommate a note
that reads, "I'm sorry, I just can't stand living with you any
more. So, I'm ending it all.
Sorry about the mess."
