The Mighty Technorati

They made me do this.

I feel so ... so ... so pushed around.

Technorati Profile

Oh Vast Internet

There are millions of you out there. Come on! Let's get this show on the road. You can handle taking a stab at one of these Ask Tasks! If you can't handle it, at least call up your grumpy old grandma and make her provide an answer for you.

You'll help out a few independents AND you'll also use the creative part of your brain... a part you probably haven't used since 4th grade.

Ask Task 3: You have an itchy eye...

Ask Task #3: You have an itchy eye and your optometrist wannabe love-interest just failed her medical board test. The test that would have made her what she wants so bad to be. She failed because she started her own eye on fire during a break as she tried to show off a new technique she'd been working on. Would you let her look at your eye? Keep in mind that you also have a secret ability to shoot rays out of your eyes and that you've just signed a contract with City Hall to join their misfit crime-fighting team. Oh, and you haven't had a lover ever due to the fact you have droopy eyes.

The prize: I Love Lamp T-Shirt
The deadline: June 8, 2008

Ask Task 2: Where Would You Sleep...

The Task: Where would you sleep the first night after you discovered the key to eternal youth? There are a few conditions... you have a fear of the dark and soft things. Also, you just had your brother's bipolar best friend drop by, the one who juggles knives in a rundown circus. Lastly, it's the first night since you decided to secretly wear a pair of moon boots to bed.

Prize: A funny golfball from www.wannabegolfer.com
Deadline: June 3, 2008

Ask Task 1 - Would You Lend...

Keep answers to less than 1000 words.
