Vote For My Friend As I Make Amends For Past Offenses
Back in my collegiate days, which I like to think were just last year, we did a lot of shit that we found to be hysterical at the time. In retrospect, some of it was pretty stupid, but most still stands the test of time. One such juvenile act was to duct tape a friend to a chair while we sat around drinking. At some point, we decided we needed to order food. We couldn't for the life of us decide what we wanted, until a light bulb popped over a young Flint Skinny's head.
We decided that the order of the day would be Chinese food, and that we would leave our friend taped to the chair for the delivery guy to find. We put the money in his blindfold, and when the delivery man arrived, we simply yelled, "come in." You can imagine the look on the poor delivery guy's face when he opened the door to see a fellow countryman (he's actually Filipino, not Chinese) securely bound to a chair. The man simply took the money, dropped the food, and walked out. As the door slammed, a sad little Filipino attempted to yell, "Help me," but it came out merely as a whisper.
Now, thanks to that wonderful evening I put him through, he has come to me with a favor. He's in a a contest on facebook in which his picture has to get the most "likes." Whoever has the most wins a two-night getaway for two at the Catskills resort, The Roxbury. So if you are bored, do me a favor and go vote for him. Today is the last day for voting some tomorrow morning you can go ahead and unlike the company, and the picture for that matter, if you want.
Reason #1: You have no idea what's happening in the picture. She's rockin' the "Asian tourist" pose, while I believe he is eating the bear out.
Reason #2:His blog is a piece of shit and he could probably use the self-confidence. I mean look at the thing, there are photo errors everywhere. That's like the glasses, pony-tail, and paint-covered overalls of the blog world.
Reason #3: It's a ski trip, and he has no f'ing clue how to ski. He's promised me exclusive access to all photos (they're asian, there will be plenty) and stories of the epic failures that result over the two days, as well as copies of medical records with free reign to publish as I see fit.
Reason #4: You probably haven't done anything nice yet today, and karma is a bitch.
Reason #5: He's made some decent contributions to The Flint Skinny, as seen here.
All you have to do is "like" the company.
Then "like" the photo.
The links were cleverly embeded in the sentences above. I like to keep things lookin' clean for you.
