Failure! … or is it negotiable?
January 22, 2008
Okay, so according to my computer clock I have now, technically, failed by 9 minutes.
I completely got carried away in Martin Luther King Jr Day festivities, and was occupied until about 5 minutes ago when I rushed back to my apartment and discovered I had no time left to construct a post.
This, as stated in the rules outlined, is a punishable offense. And I will, if it is deemed necessary and just, submit myself to punishment.
HOWEVER! I will say this–in my defense. In the rules I wrote up I did say we must post every day except for holidays. Martin Luther King Day is technically a federal holiday. And I did technically fail to post because of my observance of this holiday (I was at a MLK/Civil Rights party!)
So, I will now leave my fate in the hands of my siblings (Aaron, you help Scott be the judge). Please be merciful!
Most sincerely,
Brooke
Stand for ten minutes in a public place holding a sign that says “Free Kisses.” Take a picture. This punishment is non-negotiable.
Nooooo! Noooo!
That is a lame punishment.
…or definitely an uncomfortable one.
And I think we need a second opinion from Aaron to decide whether or not I even broke the rules. Martin Luther King Day is one of only 10 (ONLY 10!) Federally recognized holidays.
Lets have a vote!
First of all, a punishment is not a punishment unless it is at least uncomfortable, no? That’s to say nothing for gross, painful, expensive, long, terrifying or boring.
Secondly, it was my understanding that you fully intended on posting the entire day until you got home and found it too late and that’s when you realized their was a loophole; that your procrastination just so happened to land on a Federal Holiday. No?
Free Kisses! Free Kisses! Free Kisses!
Though I may sound harsh I hope you know I’m doing this for the project and therefore, in a round-about way, out of my brotherly love for you.
Merry Tuesday!
