The Escapist Advice Thread

[MrCollins]

Inspired by LRR's "ask Kathleen" segments that existed in a time gone by, and the fact that the actual advice forums are filled with questions only about relationships and PC builds.
And I think that we here at the Forum Games can do a better job at offering help for life's small problems.

The game is that one person asks for advice, the other gives a reasonable and well-meaning ludicrous, malicious or silly answer and then asks for help with one of his problems.

Any question? Good.

Hit yourself in the head hard enough with something so you become unconscious.

Dear Escapists, Every month I bleed for about a week. I'm really worried but I don't dare tell my mum in case she thinks I'm having sexy times with the garden fence again. Please help! I don't want to die.

 

[Dr.Susse]

Try actually stopping having sexy time with the fence. If that doesn't work try using a band-aid.

Dear Escapists I think there is someone in my house! What do I do?

If he's in your house, then that's what I call "free meat".

Dear Escapists, how can I overcome my addiction to the internet?

 

[Fractral]

Try Interette. It's like Nicorette, but it releases HTML into your bloodstream instead of Nicotine. After a few months you should be able to get yourself off it.

Dear Escapists, how can I stop my friend being a prick about his girlfriend?

Just remove your shoes and socks and then walk bare-foot over boiling lava. That should fix your 'ky'.

Dear Escapists, my boyfriend doesn't understand me and I want to break up with him. Should I?

 

[MrCollins]

Stop taking the pill, you will not only get a cool new baby (they're all the rage), but the fear of commitment is sure to make him run away extremely fast?

My friends keeps telling me that I'm fat and should lose weight. What should I do?

 

[Dr.Susse]

Read the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.

Dear Escapist how should I go about getting lunch?

 

[MrCollins]

Remember, all that free meat I told you to get. Well now, you can make good use of it.
The recipe is as follows:
1) Tablespoon of salt
2) 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
3) Meat

First, remove the clothes from your meat, as they get in the way and also will soak up the spices.
Secondly, put the oil in a pan on the heat. Then leave the meat to lightly simmer until it's done.
VOILA.


Dear Escapist, how do I get my roommate to stop playing loud music.

Place headphones on him while he's asleep, and blast his ears with even louder music.

I accidentally ate something poisonous! What should I do??

 

[MrCollins]

Bulimia!! Not only will it get rid of that pesky poison, but it will also make you look prettier and make your parents get re-married (their divorce is your fault, because you are so fat).
Bulimia, twice the taste, none of the calories.

Dear Escapists, I just got bit by a dog with foam coming out of his mouth. What should I do?

I need a new smartphone, what should I get?

 

[MrCollins]

Smartphones, cost a lot of money, what you want is a series of street urchins that follow you and your friends around. They will relay messages quickly and efficiently and only for the small price of regular floggings.
