A work in progress
Anti-Boredom Summer Activities
By Master Sgt. Derek Simi
Refer to Recommended Movie list (yes I know that was a shameless plug. Deal)
Get a frying pan, and see if you really can fry an egg on the sidewalk
Imitate a submarine at the nearest pool
Go to the movies with some friends and annoy the hell out of everyone by doing play-by-play commentary (what, you mean I'm the only one who does that? Nevermind...)
Play “Catch the Fairy” with a younger sibling and a laser pointer/flashlight
Study comedy sketches so one has jokes to tell when school starts.
Try saying everything in a politically correct manner.
Start deleting recorded TV programs one by one to see if anyone notices
Organize strike group to invade Emily's house and give her back control over the Wii. Bonus points for using unnecessary force.
Learn how to operate a hedge fund
Experiment with new kinds of sandwiches i.e. Marshmallow cream and peanut butter
Paint random murals on your walls. Bonus points if it's something communist
throw water balloons at the neighbor's cat
secretly install a trapdoor in your doorway
Get a spinning chair and a stuffed cat, then practice the “evil spin to face hero while stroking cat”. Make sure to get your timing right, so that you don't mistakenly spin too much or too little to properly face your adversary
Practice evil laughs and monologues to use while in spinny chair.
Re-enact Night of the Living Dead as a comedy, i.e. “Hee hee, stop eating my flesh! That tickles! *cue laugh track*” Bonus points for filming it.
Read a good book, preferably a large and heavy one so you can use it as a makeshift weapon when your sibling will just not stop coming in your friggin' room. Use it to teach them a little lesson about privacy. Bonus points for hardcover.
Cryogenically freeze old action figures and small toys. Here's how:
Get an old water bottle, pour water until it's about ¼ full, then freeze it.
Next day, put in action figure and fill up rest of bottle, leaving space for water expansion.
Now you have a figure that is suspended in ice! Makes a great party favor! Bonus points if you do it with your siblings toys
Obtain thermite. Don't ask me how, just do it. Once you have that much, the possibilities are endless. Bonus points if you can get detonation cord as well.
Convince your sibling that they're in a sitcom. Tape a laugh track and play it whenever he or she does something stupid. Bonus points if you can get them to break something.
Make a tin foil hat, get some broken glasses, and some raggedy clothes and pretend like you're one of those people who think that aliens are invading. Bonus points for doing it in public
Make, bake or draw communist rocket ducks. Bonus points for writing a fanfic
6-player Homeworld 2 match. Enough said. Bonus points for making it 5-versus Josh
Replace your mom's Beatles CD with a Disturbed mix CD. Watch her expression. Bonus points if everyone else is in the room too. Extra bonus points for making it out of the situation alive.
Buy a plush Facehugger alien, walk down the street and throw it at people's faces. Bonus points for bringing a friend along to photograph it
Hide in a tree near a parking lot and throw white paintballs at clean sports cars.
Nervously slam down your laptop whenever anyone approaches
Make a spider trap at a door. How it works: get a large fake spider, like the kind used at halloween. Then, use fishing wire (it's hard to see) attach it to the ceiling of a family member's room, then bring the connected spider out of the room and close the door. When the family member opens the door inwards (or it could be you opening the door on them) the spider will swing out at their face. Bonus points if you photograph it.
Get a fake rock. Make sure it's believable, then chuck it at someone you know.
Make a cake or other delicious piece of dessert confectionery, then, make sure it's a flavor that only you like.
Read Catch-22 and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Then watch the movies. Bonus points for not yelling obscenities and shooting your TV.
Write posts on Gaia using the communism quotes around each post.
See what the weirdest thing you can buy on eBay without a license is. Bonus points if it explodes.
Make a mini-hammock for your pet
Make important decisions with a coin-toss (“Where should we bury him?” “Just a sec, do you have a quarter?”)
Go outside and enjoy nature. After 5 minutes, go back inside.
Blog like you've never blogged before! Wait, don't, your first blog posts sucked.
Practice future gas-siphoning skills with your parent's girl scout cookies.
Set a new record for number of times spun in spinny chair.
Watch a balloon get tangled up in a fan. Bonus points if you can blame it on a sibling.
Go fly a kite. Bonus points for attaching blades that allow it to rip other kites to shreds.
Leave random items in strange places around the house, as in, “Derek, how did your pocketknife get in the dishwasher?” “I uh, was using it, and I had to clean it.”
Take a few minutes and take the songs that you don't like off of your goddamn iPod. If you hate the song, why is it on there in the first place?!
Make a chalk mural on the road in the middle of night and noone's awake. Bonus points for seeing people's reactions in the morning.
Start a band
Use a pair of burnt-out lightbulbs as maracas.
Beat any video games you haven't beaten yet
Get a lot of paint, rollers, brushes, and a car (and a driver if need be) and repaint a billboard to say something funny. Bonus points if it is about one of your friends. More bonus points if you don't get caught. (Submitted by fizzing_whizbees)
Give Sgt. Derek some ideas on what to put on the list, I mean, I have ideas, but it's not like I can just pull them out of thin air!
And that wraps it up for V1.2 of the list, please give me any comments or suggestions!
