Top Five things Jon Gosselin will do with his free time now that he’s been voted off “Jon and Kate Plus 8”

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

5. Star in some “Hair Club for Men Com­mer­cials”
4. Really hone his skills in scre­wing over women.
3. Beg TLC for his own rea­lity show about him and his super cool side kick, “Sch­mooby”.
2. Go on tour with John Wayne Bob­bit and Joey But­ta­fuoco
1. Play a little “Jon + 1” if you know what I mean.

Inspired by the URL Radio Beer Run

Other ideas that were ins­pi­red by the URL Radio Beer Run (http://www.urlradio.net).
The Wine Craft Show. Wal­king around a big craft show snoc­ke­red up on wine.


The Beer Chess Tour­na­ment. Play chess and with every piece you lose to the oppo­nent, you drink a beer.

Shots for Tots. You get spon­so­red by peo­ple per shot. So someone could spon­sor you at $1 a shot until you give up or pass out. The money would buy toys for needy kids for Christ­mas.

The Drin­king Olym­pics. An obs­tacle course inters­per­sed with tables of drinks, so as they con­ti­nue with the course, they get more and more stumbling-over drunk. The gold medals are actual public trans­por­ta­tion tokens so they get home safely.

The Desig­na­ted Dri­ver Car­ni­val—While the others are spen­ding all their money on booze, the DD’s are win­ning fabu­lous cash and pri­zes on a mid­way where they get to knock over cut-outs of drunk car­toon figures.

On January 7th,1904 the dis­tress call ‘CQD’ was intro­du­ced. ‘CQ’ stood for ‘Seek You’ and ‘D’ for ‘Dan­ger’. This las­ted only until 1906 when it was repla­ced with ‘SOS’, which offi­cially stands for nothing. I won­der if ICU812 was ever considered?
