Colbert
You can feel the anticipation in the air. A giddy eagerness is bringing smiles to faces the world over. That's right, it's only one week until the release of Stephen Colbert's new book I Am America (And So Can You!) Now that we're in the home-stretch, the wait is going to become increasingly agonizing of course. Luckily there are some ways to spend the final days to make the experience more bearable:

Day 1: Give back to the community by giving half-priced shiatsu massages to local homeless people.

Day 2: Meditate in a warm bath of marmalade.

Day 3: Translate the care-instructions on all of your clothes labels into Esperanto. Jot them down in a journal. Burn the pages. Snort the ashes. Sleep the rest of the day. Warning: When you dream, you will see your own death.

Day 4: Fast. 

Day 5: Hunt, kill, cook and eat a bald eagle. Glaze with the nicely-aged marmalade from Day 2.

Day 6: Humbly ask Him to remove our shortcomings.

Day 7: Read all of your current favorite books while they're still relevant.

And here's a little help for Day 3, if you can't locate that Esperanto dictionary:

Hand wash separately in cold water - Lavu aparte kaj permane en malvarma akvo

Dry flat - Sekigu sur plata surfaco

Do not bleach - Ne uzu lesivon

Iron at low temperature, if needed - Gladu laubezone je malalta temperaturo

If you can't figure out how to pronounce it, a few minutes with Radio Polonia:

http://www.polskieradio.pl/eo/

should get you on the right track!

By the way, don't try to burn the pages indoors, unless you're really after some excitement.
