Time to ask her to prom, but not in the good old fashioned hallway. There has to be a better method...
1. Write her a song! Without backup singers though, it wouldn’t be that good. Honestly. Video.
2. Wear a panda suit. Go to her house. It might be a good idea to get her parents involved in this one. They could lead you into the dining room with a collar and leash.
3. Ask her in front of the Eiffel Tower. Just cut one out of cardboard and have a photographer ready!
4. Bake her some bread. But put inside it the question, “I would loaf for you to be my prom date. Would you at yeast consider it?”
5. Stage an honor duel. Get your friend to interrupt you as you ask her to prom and say, “I am asking for a date to prom as well. We shall duel!” Make sure to do this with something benign like a pasta thrown at each other until your friend declares you the victor. She will be so impressed.
6. Promise to pick her up in a cool car if she’ll agree. Then surprise her by picking her up on horseback.
7. Get your janitor friend to ask for you. She will never expect this. Especially if you are hiding in the mop bucket.
8. Poor glitter on her head. This one speaks for itself.
9. Get the basketball team to call a timeout. Then you go on the court and shoot a free-throw, turn and ask!
10. Ask 10 girls. Bring the ones that agree to a meeting to discuss the pros and cons of being your date. Decide from there by subcommittee.
As the details come in, I am heartbroken to hear about the lives that were affected and the lives lost in the wake of the tsunami that struck Japan this morning. Having a sick baby, I happened to be up in time to watch some of the live feeds of the horrible devastation. Something about watching it LIVE connects you to the event. Another thing that connects me to this is my friends in Hawaii are being evacuated. That will make something real to you.
We at the Doug And Jon Show are committed to prayer for the victims of this tragedy, and to help in any way possible. It’s in times like these that I want to do “more” than pray, but I know that the prayers of Jesus followers around the world are powerful and effective.
Sometimes the most fun in the created ordered universe is absolute nonsense. If your heart is made of stone, please don’t watch Honkbarn. But if you have a taste for the abstract and are a connoisseur of silly, then enjoy.
