The Loony Bin: Go crazy! Really Crazy…
Now… are you up to the best part?
209. Crash a party
Maybe the party won’t be so happy about it, but if you crash it in style, who knows what new friends you might make along the way?
210. Get a cab and tell the cabbie to “follow that car!”
They may look at you very strangely, tell you it’s not like in the movies, tell you to get out, call the police or refuse to move. Or play along and really follow the car you pointed. Ever wanted to feel like a detective? Now’s the chance!
211. Speak with a foreign accent all day
It will annoy the soul of your friends and family, but it’s worth to see their faces.
212. Wrap your head in aluminum foil and walk the street telling people “they’re coming”
Record their reactions on film, stop before getting arrested. Look worried, tensed and like sharing them a secret. Whisper sinisterly. Don’t end up in the Looney House.
213. Answer with “Nobody talks about Fight Club” to any peoples’ question for a day
If at some point they will want to kill you, stop before ending up in a Fight Club live scene.
214. Choose a color for a day and celebrate it
Wear clothes only of that color, eat food that has that color, even listen to songs that somehow revolve around the color or its meaning. It can be your favorite one or pick one at random.
215. Find new options for playing charades
People usually mime words, names, famous alive or fictional characters, but you can try some new things, like playing charades in a foreign language (you all know) or find other alternatives.
216. Enter a McDonald’s and ask where Burger King is. Or KFC
Or the other way around… Their faces, priceless.
217. Celebrate Christmas in summer
Get a Christmas tree, decorate it, cook some Christmas dishes and celebrate it with family and friends. Make some spontaneous gifts too! Who says you can’t enjoy the holidays spirits whenever you feel like it? It can be spring or autumn too.
218. Be the star of your own fashion show
Try your clothes in various combinations (the craziest, the better), walk around the house on music and if you have some friends over, have yourself a free photo session too.
219. Bake a cake and share it with your neighbors
As a token of your appreciation for them not drilling holes in walls Sunday morning at 7 a.m. That might suffocate some further intentions…
220. In the morning, ask the people in the office what year it is
Tell them you were abducted by aliens last night and spent an eternity on their ship. When it stops being funny, tell them you just have this enormous hangover, it’s more plausible. We’d tell you to scream “Yeees, it worked!”, but it’s too popular on the Internet already…
221. Make up a funny begging sign and beg in the street for a day
There are thousands of funny signs out there you can get inspired from. Or you just could create your own. Beg for a day and donate the money you made in the shape of warm food or clothes to a real homeless person.
222. Slam the door in the face of technology for one day
Turn the cell phone off, shut down the computer, pull the plug on the TV and spend a day listening to your own thoughts and doing everything you like as relaxes you, in the absence of any tech. Do it as therapy too. Get this to the extreme: run in the mountains and live a tech free life for a week. Try to survive.
223. Experience being a waiter for a day
If you know some people to give you a hand with your quest, become a waiter for a day in a busy place with lots of customers. Share the tips with your colleagues. Try to be nice to people. Smile all the time.
224. Count your hair strands
You will probably never finish, but if you do, who knows, maybe you’ll enter the Guinness Book of Records for patience. For a real adrenaline shot, count them wearing boxing gloves.
225. Find a funny excuse for being late on work that morning
Tell your boss you were late because your pet chameleon lost all its colors and you had to teach them again to it, you had to kill and cook an animal for breakfast, as the fridge was empty, you couldn’t miss the morning Black Mass meant to bring you immortality, and so on. Only addressed to people with humor. Make sure you don’t get fired.
226. Dedicate yourself a song on the radio
Because you’re fabulous, that’s why!
227. Break a serious conversation with a quote in Latin
If no one understands Latin, you will become the hero of the day. Learn a few longer quotes that sound good, tell them with a concentrated and deep look and then puff and huff in disgust when somebody asks you what you said. Look upon the ignorant condescendingly and give them an answer that fits the conversation.
228. Speak in lyrics for a day
They can be poems, song lyrics, Shakespeare sonnets if you’re up to it. Ask questions, give answers and declaim your thoughts in lyrics. Don’t get arrested or submitted for a psychiatric exam.
229. Paint a Joker’s smile on your face
And walk around asking people if they want to know how you got those scars. Be prepared with answers!
230. Have a conversation with your imaginary friend in the office
And when people start showing their concern, ask them if they are jealous because the voices are talking only to you.
231. Have the Christmas carolers remember you forever
When they knock on your door, open that door fast and start singing a carol before they get to begin. Make sure you don’t scare the little children.
232. Start a snow ball fight. In the office
Make sure your colleagues and your boss have a sense of humor and can put up with a snow ball fight in the meetings room. Don’t get fired.
233. Record yourself singing your favorite song
Listen to it every time you need a good laugh if your singing sucks or a self esteem boost if your voice is actually good.
234. Cross dress with your partner (if you don’t share the same sex)
Go to a friend’s party together with your partner wearing each others’ clothes. You’ll be taken for crazy, but that’s the fun part about your partner and your friends.
235. Go to work wearing different shoes
See that you don’t limp from the difference in heel height if you’re a woman. It’s actually a fashion, but you can get creative and wear a snicker and flip flop or any other combination. Motivate your choice by telling people you could tell them the reason but then you’ll have to kill them.
236. Go clubbing in your pajamas
With today’s fashion you probably won’t even get noticed, but at least you’ll feel fun and comfortable.
237. Make people believe you can’t get drunk
Put water in a bottle of vodka and drink from it like there is no tomorrow. Preferably in a busy public place. Look at the bottle emptying from time to time and shake your head in disappointment whispering: “such a waste of money and alcohol… such a waste…” Don’t get arrested.
238. Declare paternity
If you happen to stumble upon a boy named Luke in the park or playground, go to him and give him the “Luke, I’m your father” line. Don’t do it if the real father is around.
239. Inhale some helium
See if it really changes your voice beyond recognition. Call your friends and tell them you have a rare virus and have only one day to live. Tell them that only [insert favorite food / drink here] can save you. Or at least call them and watch this video together.
240. Speak like Yoda for a whole day
Mastering some grammar skills won’t hurt, as it is not as easy as it seems. Funny like hell, though. Don’t forget the “mmmmmm” and the deep concentrated look.
241. Have fun at the fish market
Go to the fish market and give people flyers advertising for the “Fish are friends, not food” Association. Or ask them where you can find Nemo.
242. Sing “Man of constant sorrow” every time a colleague asks “How are you” in the office
Do it Soggy Bottom Boys style, with Clooney’s dedication. Try imitate his face too.
243. Chew a wooden stick for lunch in the office
When people ask you if you’re on a diet, answer them you’re getting ready for the Hunger Games.
244. Be a grammar Nazi for one day
Punish every grammar mistake with only one comment: English, motherfucker, do you speak it?! If you can get Samuel Lee Jackson’s voice and attitude, you’re a hero.
245. Keep unwanted guests out of your house
Record Gandalf’s “You shall not pass” line from the LOTR series and turn it into your house door bell ringtone. Open the door only to those you want to pass.
246. Give names to all the rooms in the house
Name the bedroom the Swamp, the bathroom Tardis or the kitchen SS Enterprise. Find other funny names and use them when you refer to them to your guests. Mark each separate territory with posts.
247. Turn yourself into a bar joke
Enter a bar wearing a huge rubber crocodile under one arm, a dog on a leash and a monkey on your shoulder. The bartender should take care of the rest…
248. Send disturbing Twitter dinner invitations to your friends
“For tonight we dine in Hell” may be one idea…
249. Do one awesome phone prank from the Internet
Take one famous: text a random phone number with the message: I hid the body. Now what? Wait and see if someone answers back. Don’t get arrested. HERE, these are some funny pranks you can get inspired from.
250. Recruit for the Dark Side
Publish a job opening announcement in the paper or on the Internet to find new recruits for the Dark Side. Ask the “serious” candidates to send you a letter of intent and a resume stating what motivates them to join it. Pick the best recruit and take him or her out for drinks. Or give him / her the job.
251. Play old fashioned vampire
Run away screaming whenever somebody in the cafeteria eats garlic near you, close the drapes in the office and hide under the desk, refuse to take part in meetings because you “know they all want to hurt you“. Don’t get fired, don’t get submitted in an institution, don’t get arrested.
252. Play modern vampire
Build yourself some abs. Go to the beach having the abs and the pecs previously coated in cosmetic face glitter dust. Sparkle in the sun. Sign autographs and take photos with the fans. Stay away from the other guys with pecs and abs, one of them might play the werewolf.
253. Travel the bus / tram / subway dressed as the Grim Reaper
Whisper to random travelers “You’re next...“ Don’t get punched in the face, don’t get arrested.
254. Hijack a person
Go to a friend’s workplace, make a teary scene about something bad happening that immediately requires your friend’s presence, grab him or her out of there and spend a fun day together.
255. Kidnap an object
There’s nothing worse than boredom in the office. Kidnap a colleague’s stapler or some office supply and leave behind a ransom note with some threats related to the poor object’s fate. Make preposterous claims such as asking for 100 freshly baked cupcakes or a day off. Do it only with people with humor. Don’t get fired.
Sammy says
I would say that is a list full of surprises. Who does not want to live his life without regrets? Too bad that we are stopped, usually by many things like money, family and sometimes even by ourselves and our own conceptions.
