You’ve Responded!

posted by on December 13 at 15:02 PM

Thank you to everyone that sent in assignments. These are all the assignments I’ve received so far:

Teasing someone’s cat with yarn, helping behind the scenes at the Northwest Film Forum holiday party, helping behind the scenes at the Gay Men’s Chorus Holiday Show, installing an ice sculpture designed by Alex Schweder, babysitting a six-year-old who likes to go to Petco and stare at animals, babysitting for someone who told me I could watch their porno after the baby fell asleep, painting a hallway at a gay law firm, slathering wax on some women’s dread locks, gold farming with a World of Warcraft addict, raking the leaves in front of City Hall, building a sex fort in someone’s bedroom, painting an overwhelmed mother’s master bedroom, expressing someone’s anal glands (not feasible), raising 250,000 dollars for the Seattle LGBT Center (also not feasible), opening presents with someone else’s family on Christmas day…..

The couple that sent Dan’s favorite email (which involved driving drunk folks from holiday party to holiday party) just cancelled on me.

- World of Warcraft addict (hilarious)
- Painting overwhelmed mother's bedroom (actually helpful)
- Opening presents with someone else's family (hilarious)

Well, I think two good choices are:

gold farming with a World of Warcraft addict (gotta build up those job skills for the US eventual third-world status); and

raking the leaves in front of City Hall.

I say paint that mother's bedroom. She will probably be disproportionately grateful, plus painting is pretty fun.

Help host the birthday party for 20 four-year olds, I tell you!

You might even be able to put the Community Theatre Camp training to use, if I can find a good bunny costume.

I'm sensing a poll in the offing...

What the hell is a sex fort?

I dunno. I figure someone wants him to help them pitch a tent.

So what, cleaning out my gutters and scrapping the moss of my roof wasn't good enough for you?

@8:

I suppose that would mean he'd have to bring his own pole...

I think we can assume from the comment about body hair during the Greenpeace activity that his pole would come with it's own undergrowth.

Nothing wrnog with short guys.

Besides making less money, being evolutionarily less attractive, being weaker, inherent inferiority complexes, etc

Sure there's nothing wrong with short guys.

I'm for the sex fort or the opening of presents. Preferably both.

Hey, you could wrangle my cats and clip their claws. And clean my fish tank! Neither has been done for ages, and they'd all appreciate it after the fact. I swear.

Too bad I've already broken up with my boyfriend. Otherwise you could do that too. (Heartless!)

Rose Red, it's just as well you're already split up. You should neither text message break up nor public intern break up.

I've met the public intern. He's groovy and indomitable. I can't wait to find out about his next assignment.

You can drive me and my drunk friends around. Saturday. The Sorrento, followed by the McLeod Residence, followed by god knows what.

Geez, I guess finding me a new bank wasn't SEXY enough of an assignment... go figure...

Oops. I'm sorry to everyone who's assignment I didn't include. It was an error, not a personal vendetta against your assignment. I regret it.

@11 try making some calls to Seattle U or UW law schools, the clinics or profs might be interested in helping you out

FYI: It's the Seattle Men's Chorus, not the Gay Men's Chorus. We do actually have some straight members within our ranks, and a lot of straight people who help out behind the scenes. ;)
