Yell "fuck you" to every douchebag you come on by today. Enjoy a feeling of smugness for the rest of the week. :-D

Dear Escapist, how do I tear down this wall?

Just ram into it until it falls down, preferrably head-first.

Dear Escapist, how can I get more time?

Dear Escapists, I've 'misplaced' my children in a busy shopping centre. What should I do?

Dear Escapists, I am starting to think that we are all in a Matrix were all our perceptions are illusions and nothing is real. What should I do?

 

[thesilentman]

Make yourself high and depressed by listening to The Wall several times, preferably high and back to back. That way, you become the different One. This is because you store all of that negativity and learn to appreciate the position that you've been given, that of enlightenment.

Dear Escapist, how can I thank you for being there for me?

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Put all your money and credit card information into the Swiss bank account #323578 after crossing the border to Mexico. When the van arrives with the guys with the guns, they are there to give you cake for helping the Escapist so much.

Dear the Escapist, how do I make money instantly?

 

[Dr.Susse]

Easy! All you have to do is set up an operation that pays returns to its investors from their own money or the money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from profit earned by the individual or organization running the operation.

Get some shorts. You can't slack without slacks after all.

Dear Escapist, how I can become THE BEST PERSON EVER?

Baked beans fetishes are against god and against nature, you should not help anyone in such a state of hedonism.

[NerfedFalcon]

Hibernate.

Dear Escapist, would I actually like Metal Gear?

My doorbell is ringing, but nobody answered when I picked up the phone and said hello. Even worse, the doorbell keeps ringing!? How do I stop the doorbell?

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Take a hammer to it. The doorbell, not your phone.

Dear Escapist, I received a package in the mail with a strangely glowing white stone. Using the tissue paper it came in, I've found out that there are several symbols from a lost civilisation scrawled onto its surface. Is it safe to touch with my bare skin?

Of course! What's the worst that could happen? Actually, get rubber or leather gloves. Safety first!

Dear Escapist, a bunch of people are at my door with a battering ram demanding their money back. What should I do?

 

[scorptatious]

Tell them that their battering ram is of low quality and you can sell them a "better" battering ram. After that, buy some tickets to get on a plane to fly out of the country.

Dear Escapist, I can't figure out how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood! Help!
