whatshouldjohndotoday is going on hiatus
After two weeks of daily assignments, John is going to pause and regroup. For now, he wants to get onto a weekly schedule. Stand by for a new poll in the next day or so.

Day 15: Walk down the street on a sunny day in a raincoat and boots and umbrella.
Went for a little Gene Kelly vibe.

Day 13: Tell a bad joke.
Actually, the joke and shopping for lingerie tied, so John flipped a coin.
Q: What's brown and sticky?
A: A stick.

Day 12: Go to CraftBoston Holiday show
He bought two vases similar to the ones in the picture. The woman harvests different kind of plant stems, dries them for a year, then lines the inside with layers of lacquer to make them waterproof. Very Zen and they ought to look great in John's apartment.

Day 11: Write a poem.
A tender Haiku on transience and loss . . .
To build a card house?
Lo, an exercise in woe
I still have my cold

Day 10: Check for bellybutton lint.
John has a cold and is doped up on Nyquil, so we closed the poll early today. It was a close contest between "walk down the street eating a big bowl of soup" and "check for bellybutton lint," but the lint carried the day.

Suggestions -- keep them coming!
From Eli:
Wear two different socks up to your knees, with shorts, in public.
Go to a restaurant and ask to try a stranger's food.
Spend all day in church.
Walk down the street eating a big bowl of soup.
Go to the grocery store in swim cap and goggles.
Walk down the street on a sunny day in a rain coat, boots, and umbrella.
From Patty:
Ride an escalator backwards at a shopping mall/
Visit a gym and inquire about weight-loss programs (wearing a wife-beater tee).
Grow sideburns (this could take several days).
Pull a "Chinese Fire Drill" at red lights -- passengers make this even more fun.
And finally there's nothing better than making prank phone calls: Prince Albert in a Can, Is Your Refrigerator Running and other side-splitting gems!!!
There are a couple of other ideas in the comments to the last post. Thanks!

Day 5: A tie!
November 8, 2008
There were strong supporters for two options, so he combined them.
Meditate.
Wear one of Aunt Pat's hats.
Day 4: Wave to strangers.
November 7, 2008
This was on the steps of the National Basilica Shrine in Washington, DC. The bus was full of Catholic schoolgirls. And yes, they waved back.
Day 3: Demand an apology.

Sent via email: "I demand an apology, Stan - I'm sure you know what for . . . John"
