Challenge Me

I'm stealing an idea from John Scalzi, one of my favorite writers/bloggers out there. That idea is the "user dictated writing"... You, my (few) readers, get to spew forth ideas for me to write about. Seriously, it doesn't have to be about writing, and it doesn't have to be about cycling. Anything. Any topic.

Challenge me, dammit.

    Here’s a bizarre idea that came to mind: write about two people who have wildly divergent reactions to coming across an injured bird in a busy city park.

    even though you are in a bit of a economic slump, you have continued to focus on buying a house, SOON. why is that? does owning your own home have some special significance? do you think that it is the best thing to protect your personal economy?

    thank you for your answer.

    How do you get inspired for fonts?

    My co-worker just told me his neighbor just got back from Iraq… where he’s a “contractor”. More specifically, he’s a sharpshooter-type of “contractor”. Is his neighbor, in fact, a murderer? An assassin who kills for money? Or is he merely a capitalist patriot who is “supporting our troops”? How is he different from a normal solider who also gets a paycheck for fighting?

    Random colliding detritus prompts the following utterances…

    1) Your take on the Olympics, the venue, and whether bicycling is adequately represented in the official events

    2) optimism/realism/cynicism/pessimism: where do you see yourself on this spectrum? Is there another position which you would prefer to find yourself?

    3) perversity of the universe, and why it tends to a maximal value (possibly one of Niven’s Laws, but ICBA to check): any personal anecdotes or insights?

    [Here's a starting topic: Why are people who are most hard of hearing the most likely to unplug the phone 'because its ringing would disturb my sleep'?]

    Write about living under an overpass or in a cardboard box and describe your treasures/your necessities.
