Vote Naked! i like to vote naked. if you do not yet vote by absentee ballot, i highly recommend it. and if you don't, you will eventually cause the state will make you.the best vote is cast naked in bed while drinking coffee. if you thought voting was boring, just think of all the fun you can have when you don't have to do it at a polling booth. for the next presidential election i plan to vote while having very gay sex. you could vote while recieving an enema. you could vote while doing illegal drugs. you could vote while recieving head. you could vote dressed like darth vader. you could vote while you listen to communist propaganda. you could vote while doing all of the above at the same time. there is no end to the fun you could have.

you see them all over. homeless people. standing there with their signs, sitting with outstretched hands. maybe you don't give them money because you don't want them to spend it on drugs. maybe you give them money and you don't care if they spend it on drugs, or you hope it will get spent on something else. maybe you buy drugs from them. maybe you give them drugs. whatever. the next time you see a person asking for money on the street, give them something to eat. it's not that hard, and they won't throw it at you like the guy in 'scary movie'. unless they are highly delusional and think you are trying to poison them, but the chance of that is low. protein bars are great for this. they are small, highly portable, and you can eat them too. you can also stay humble, as most people will think you carry them around for your own hunger. trader joe’s has great prices on a wide selection of protein bars. the cliff bars come in really yummy flavors and have a texture more like a granola bar. and yeah, i mean yummy, like apricot and carrot cake and chocolate chunks, shit like that. for less than a dollar you can get a tiger’s milk protein bar, in peanut butter or protein rich (which tastes like peanut butter). these are pretty much your standard protein bar, but they really taste like peanut butter and they aren’t as hard or chewy as power bars (great if you don’t have dental insurance!). even 10 protein bars won’t take up much room in your backpack, if you only have a purse, go for less. and as mentioned above, if you get hungry, or maybe stuck in an elevator, you’ll have food. vitamin water and protein shakes are great handouts too. again, trader joe’s has great prices on vitamin water (this stuff is really yummy, healthy, and non perishable!), and their version of gatorade, and protein shakes. a protein shake, t.j.’s, naked, odwalla, etc will run you up into the 2- 4 dollar range, and is best bought for the person standing outside a grocery store, (either just asking for money or selling ‘real change’) as these do need to be refrigerated. if you have a car you could have all flavors of vitamin water rolling around in your back seat, or in a snazzy bag or plastic crate bucket type thing. you can also give these and/or the bars out to those people at intersections. it feels a lot better than staring at your steering wheel or getting angry at them for not having a real job.
