So this post is a big one. Huge! Today not only am I participating in Mama Kat’s Workshop, but it is my First Ever post with
Steph-taaastiiiiiic! 
That was my best Oprah impersonation. Probably best you didn’t hear it. So the option I chose for the workshop was “Write a list of 10 things that can be done to stave off boredom. (inspired by Lourie from CA Girl).” I thought to myself, “what better way to think of the best ideas than to collaborate with my scheming partner Stephtastic. Usually we feed off each other’s ideas and we are able to justify just about anything the other does. Without further ado, the following is the transcripts from our email conversation. In it we are piecing together some of the best ideas to prevent boredom.
J: want to collaborate on a post for my blog?
S: I would love to collaborate!!!! i AM SO HONOURED YOU WOULD ASK!!! ARE YOU SURE?? AHHH TEARS … TEARS IN MY EYES RIGHT NOW
J: Coolness! Okay, so the post I want to collab on is a post for Mama Kat’s Workshop meme. This is the theme I have picked 3.) Write a list of 10 things that can be done to stave off boredom.
(inspired by Lourie from CA Girl).
I figure between the two of us it can be super witty and weird. So let’s get to brainstorming shall we?
Oh and it is due tomorrow. Did I mention that?
S: I look on fark.com for the entries entitled “coolest pics of ____ you’ll see today” and then try and replicate them at my desk (the cleaners didn’t appreciate my sidewalk chalk drawing of a lake beside my office chair)
J: Photocopy your face and leave it on your coworker’s desk. When they try to throw it out, throw a fit and then mutter about them having plebian tastes.
S: Plan out an Icecapades routine using your office chair instead of skates and insist your coworkers watch and score you Olympic style
J: Mark off sections on your leg then shave each section with a different razor. Ask your partner/spouse/significant other which is the smoothest. Then say “great, that’s the one I’ll use tonight when I shave your eyebrows” (while wiggling your own).
S: Start a blog
J: D’oh you took my piece de resistance!
Okay….
Ask a vegan if they liked the fish-based sauce you put on their salad. Don’t worry if they start chasing you. Lack of nutrients means they tire quickly. (is this too mean?)
S: lol… no it is not … we could also say – or alternately - ask the meatatarian if they liked that bacon flavoured / styled broccoli you gave them … they are probably under orders not to raise their cholesterol any further by getting angry so you are pretty safe
J: Return a package of band aids to Walmart. Tell the clerk you only used one, but you wrapped it up good, so you don’t think anyone will notice *wink, wink*
S: the Walmart thing is murky waters … there have been lists circulating like that for a while… if you wanted to keep it more as stuff people haven’t heard before Walmart should be avoided
J: Really? Someone else has thought to do that? Why does that not make me feel better…
Moving on.
Drink as much super-concentrated Kool-Aid as you can to see if your pee turns a different colour. Or use Crystal Light for a calorie friendly test.
S: Read wikiHow‘s on simple things like ‘how to blink’ and see if it improves your lifestyle
J: Go on Facebook and draw little moustaches on all the pics you are tagged in. Tell your friends you want the pictures to look more “authentic”.
S: Send multiple LOLcats to all your friends cause they ‘reminded you’ of them.
J: You do that one a lot.
S:
Oh! You can take pictures of all your colleagues and then tell them how great they’ll look on Failblog
J: Yeah, or go up to random people and tell them they look familiar. Suddenly “remember” you saw them on People of Walmart
I think that about does it. We just need your picture and a title .
S: Okay. Will do. So….I have a lot of work to do.
J: Okay. I’ll just pretend you’re here by staring at that abstract photocopy of your face you left for me. You know the one you claim is art?
S: I heard you had a bad day yesterday
I hope today goes better! (below is an artist rendering of a concerned steph)
Yeah, That Just Happened!

Or, if you’re intelligence challenged like myself you could Google metatarian (did I spell it right?) and read up on that for at least 15 minutes and then you could jump in your car and go hang out at Wal-Mart. I’m telling you, no matter how many lists there are that is still hours of “fun”.

Oh my most specialist bro, one day this all could be yours. And by all I mean a bit. And by yours I mean mine, but I’ll loan it out. Aren’t I generous?

This was fun … I hope there is more collaborations in the future! I love that we both had ice skating routine idea in our posts … great minds do work alike! Though I did throw up in my mouth with the thought of bacon and broccoli. I’m off to deface photos of Face book!
