This week is Delurk week… apparently.
I’m not entirely sure what that means. I sort of know most of the people who access my blog, but I guess there could be some surprises. Especially because the people who access this via feed don’t register on my Google Analytics.
So, how about it? Would everyone care to comment? I’ll even throw out two fun questions to entice you:
- What is the best way to get out of giving a homeless person money? Assume you have money.
- What do you do when Jehovah’s Witnesses come by your house to witness? Assume you have time.
Now… Comment. Tell me how old you are, your gender, and where you live. ((See how hard I tried to not say “age, sex, location,” or “a/s/l, plz?” or “wanna cyber?”)) If you do, I’ll send you a single skittle. ((Offer not valid in Milwaukee or Bismark, North Dakota.))

Not a lurker, but a newbie.
Q: What is the best way to get out of giving a homeless person money? Assume you have money.
A: Just keep on walking
Q: What do you do when Jehovah’s Witnesses come by your house to witness? Assume you have time.
A: Tell them I require regular blood transfusions, and that I don’t wish to die just yet.
Well, I’m not a lurker. I just don’t get over here as often as I’d like. But, to answer your questions…
The best way to get out of giving a homeless person money is to point across the street and say, “Look! Free tall boys in a bag!” Then run when their attention is diverted.
About the Jehovah’s Witness thing, a nice, solid door in the face seems to do the trick.
Oh, and I’m 30, female, and live in the Pacific Northwest. Now give me mah damn Skittle!
Q: What is the best way to get out of giving a homeless person money? Assume you have money.
Walk around them and avoid eye contact at all costs, mumbling to yourself “mimble wimble.”
Q: What do you do when Jehovah’s Witnesses come by your house to witness? Assume you have time.
Say, “Excuse me, I’ve already found God and I don’t like your face.” Then slam the door in their face. Then call the cops.
I used to think the best way out of giving money to the homeless is to give them food. I had one knock on my car window once, asking for money. I gave him my freshly opened bag of crackers. He took it, looked inside it for one second, then threw the bag back inside the car. Sweet.
Jehovah’s Witnesses can’t get past the security guards where I live. Sometimes even I can’t get past them. Praise Allah?
I want SkittleS. Plural, please.
Okay, anyone who wants a single skittle, send an address (yours preferably) to orders [at] pixcapacitor.com
Anyone who wants multiple skittleS: I’ll see what I can do. But shh! I can’t have everyone on my blog thinking I’m made of money. Or worse: Skittles.
As another person mentioned, just keep walking. I find ignoring them is the better option than trying to come up with an excuse. Once they got your attention it’s hard to get rid of them.
If they’re white, speak nothing but Spanish. If they’re Hispanic, speak nothing but Japanese.
I like your questions!
1) I just tell them I have no money, whether I have it or not. Granted, there are occasions where I’ll part with the cash but those depend on my mood.
2) I tell them God doesn’t exist. It was really funny watching them try to catch up because I caught them off guard.. and then I slammed the door in their face. Stupid jerks. Don’t bring your shit to my doorstep.
Now, on to the other questions. I’m 26, a female and live in Virginia. Yep.
I really shouldn’t answer you, but lucky me, I just LEFT Bismarck, so I guess I got around your little stipulation, didn’t I?
No, for real. I did.
Question 1: By giving the money to a shelter or some other organization that will use the money the way it’s supposed to be used. Just so you know it’s not being spent on Jack Daniels or something.
Question 2: One of my aunts is a J-hove. She has never tried witnessing at me so for her sake I try to stay respectful to the others who do and smile and say “no thanks.”
I’d really like a GREEN skittle, please.
Ha ha, that’s wonderful. Silly Bismarck.
Now, what type of green skittle do you want? The normal color is Lime, but there’s also Melon Berry, Kiwi Lime, and Sour Lime.
Think about it. It’s a tough decision.
i’m gonna go with the original lime. it sounds quite delicious.
and yes. bismarck is quite silly.
