1.Every time you enter the room, sit in a chair, lean back too far, and fall over backwards. Laugh hysterically for about ten minutes. Then, one day, repeat the falling-over exercise, but instead of laughing, get up, look at the chair sternly, and say, "It''s not funny anymore!"
2.Read with a flashlight when the lights are on. Pretend to read without one when the lights are out. Remark every so often how great the book is.
3.Make toast for breakfast every morning, but don''t plug the toaster in. Eat the plain bread, looking at the toaster angrily, and complain that the toaster doesn''t know what it''s doing. If your roommate suggests plugging it in, go on a tangent about fire-safety hazards.
4.Pack up all of your things and tell your roommate that you''re going away to "find yourself". Leave, and come back in about ten minutes. If your roommate asks, explain that you''re not a hard man to find.
5.Never speak to your roommate directly. If you need to ask or tell them something, go to another room and call them on the phone.
6.Hang a picture of your roommate on the wall. Throw darts at it. Smile at your roommate often, saying things like, "How nice to see you again."
7.Get a can of beans. Label them, "Jumping beans." Eat them, and then jump around the room. Get another can of beans. Label them, "Dancing beans." Eat them, and then dance around the room. Get another can of beans. Label them, "Kill Your Roommate beans." Eat them, smiling at your roommate.
8.Every time your roommate falls asleep, wait ten minutes, and then wake him/her up and say, "It''s time to go to bed now."
9.Insist that your roommate recite the "Pledge Of Allegiance" with you every morning.
10.Recite "Dr. Seuss" books, all the time. Eventually, think up melodies for the words and sing them, loudly, directly to your roommate. If he/she tells you to stop, act offended and spend the day in bed.
11.Put up traffic signs around the room. If your roommate doesn''t obey them, give him or her a ticket. Confiscate something your roommate owns until they pay the fine!
12.Walk, talk, and dress like a cowboy at all times. If your roommate inquires, tell him/her, "Don''t worry little buckaroo. You''ll be safe with me."
13.Complain that your elbows, knees, and other joints have been bothering you. Get a screwdriver, and pretend to "fix" them.
14.Wear glasses, and complain that you can never see anything. Bump into walls and doors. Put your clothes on backwards. Say, "Who''s that?" every time your roommate enters the room. When you''re not wearing the glasses, act like you can see fine.
15.Buy a lava lamp. Stare at it for hours, imitating its movements with your face. Explain to your roommate that you have established a connection with the spirit world through the lava lamp. Tell your roommate that "Grandma said hi."
16.Keep empty jars on the shelf. Tell your roommate that this is your collection of "inert gases". Look at them often. One day, act surprised and angered, and accuse your roommate of having released one of the gases. Cover your nose and mouth and run out of the room.
17.Put headphones on your roommate while he/she is sleeping, and subliminally teach him/her to speak Spanish, play the trombone, and memorize all the major imports and exports of each African nation.
18.Dress like a military officer. Insist that your roommate salute you upon sight. If he/she refuses, insist that he/she do 100 push-ups. Keep saying things like, "Your momma isn''t here to take care of you any more."
19.Keep a collection of teeth in a jar. Act excited whenever you add to it, and say things like, "In a little while I''ll have enough for that sailboat."
20.Get a pet rabbit. At a designated time every day, take the rabbit into the bathroom and engage in loud shouting matches. If your roommate inquires, refuse to discuss the situation.
