    How to steal your friend’s significant other! It might be an enigmatic process and somewhat of an ignominy. You must meander the halls to find this significant person, when you know your friend is afar. Run up to the significant other and kiss them. If your friend catches you come up with a scapegoat before she arouses in bedlam. Tell an anecdote that sounds aboveboard to persuade her that you did not do anything wrong, even if it was a blatant event. When your friend no longer feels like arguing, she will either become a martinet and make you do push ups, or become indolent and eat ice cream. Therefore you have won, and you guys can live happily ever.

    How to Drive very Badly #101

    Oh boy.. When your parents see that ticket in the mail, or huge withdrawal from your bank account, you might want to have a small anecdote played out in your indolent mind.

    Mom: SALLY WALKER!!! HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THIS TICKET?
    You: Well you see..
    Mom: GO ON!
    You: The bedlam of the taxi horns was not letting me focus on the new song, "Oh yeah. Shake that". So what was I supposed to do? I decided to get rid of my ignominy and cut off the guy next to me. The man in the car that I cut off got into an accident and was the scapegoat of all the traffic. It really wasn't my fault..
    Mom: Sally.. Just stop. You're being blatantly obvious that you were the reason for a man's wreck.. but my question is.. How did you get this ticket?
    You: Well actually.. I decided to pull over on the highway and boycott killing animals for food.. I mean I'm just being your little angel. Right?

    *Your mother just gives you a disgusted look.

    You (Continued): I assumed the police wanted to join me.. But he really didn't. He walked out of his car like a martinet and slammed a piece of paper on my car windshield. I thought it was money and went to shake his hand.

    Flashback:
    You to the police officer: THANK YOU SIR FOR SUPPORTING MY BELIEF. GOD BLESS YOU.

    You (Continued): I got back into my car, very proud of myself of my accomplishment and didn’t even bother to look at the piece of paper. I decided to meander along to my house and realized that I received a very unnecessary ticket for placing a stalled vehicle on the highway.

    Mom: Well aren’t you very precocious?

    You: There is no need for sarcasm.

    In the end, your mother decided to enigmatically forgive you and she let you pay for the ticket. In an uncharacteristically docile move, your mother consented to keeping your father in the dark about the whole incident. Who knew what would have happened if she hadn’t.

  4. How to Drive Very Badly
    By Stuart Raty and Q Tabarestani


    Do you want to make your friends never ask a ride from you again? What about ruining a romantic evening or completely destroying your parent’s car? Well then, when you’re done reading this instructive passage on how to drive badly, you’ll be able to do these things, and more!
    First things first, never act aboveboard with your parents and especially the police. If your guardians question where you are going or warn you not to go on the freeways, say “yes” but never follow their instructions! Next, if you are either drunk or sober, always meander through the roads as you drive without stopping at red lights or halting for civilians. In case you are a mass-murderer, in order to create as much carnage as one possibly can, you need to look for places to destroy or cars with passengers to demolish at full speed. At the same time, turn your radio to full volume. The bedlam of the music combined with the roar of the engine will surely attract officers and unsuspecting victims. If you ever happen to be caught, always try to make up the most unbelievable scapegoats such as your car’s mind, the drugs you were taking, or your double personality took control of you. Also, another great tip is to drive in nebulous conditions in which you can only see ten feet in front of the car. The best times are usually during storms or when there is extremely heavy fog. When under arrest, never become docile or easily controlled, but instead, try to confuse the police by telling the most unrelated anecdotes of your childhood or act as indolent and lazy as possible. You should give the police the times of their lives if you follow these great instructions. In conclusion, after you have completed all these steps, you may be denigrated or belittled by your parents and family, but you will be idolized by all your crazy friends!

  5. This is the highly coveted, 100% successful, recipe to steal your friends mate. Firstly, it is best to refrain from using common shibboleths in the dating industry. For example the old " if you were a pirate would you have a parrot on this shoulder or one this one" no longer flies. You will get shot down without and become the ignominy of the human race. Rule number two is in order to steal your friend's love you can no longer act aboveboard. The secret is to make both of them trust you and then play off of their weaknesses. Then once you the your friends' love alone you can either traduce your friend or seduce your victim. After that your target will go into a nebulous state of mind. Then he/she will either follow along with you docilely or remain procrustean with old beliefs and give you a long rant about cheating. DO NOT BE AFRAID. He/She is not carnivorous and if you keep trying they will eventually succumb to their carnal nature.

    Carnage is not the objective in this case. To drive our teacher crazy, we want to cause her a personal bedlam that won’t be able to get under control. To do this we must be very indolent. When she asks for you to write about your “feelings”, just sit there and look outside the window. Teachers HATE that! Another great way to act as a reincarnation of Latarian Milton is to answer her enigmatic question with a simple and blatant answer. This will give her a nebulous look and cause her great ignominy for getting into the teacher profession! The last thing you need to do is to denigrate all of her prosaic and boring topics. Follow all these instructions and your teacher will be ready to sign her resignation form.


    Just by the way, this is all fictionalized and Evan and I love Ms. Fleming's class. This is only for those bad kids that need Juvy we swear. Thanks!

    aboveboard-without dishonesty or trickery
    indolent-lazy
    enigmatic-puzzling
    nebulous-unclear
    reincarnation-rebirth in another body
    Bedlam- Total noisy, cautious
    Meander- to follow a winding course; wander lazily.
    Scapegoat- Someone blamed for others mistakes
    Blatant- Obvious, (the Elephant in the room)
    Docile- Easily managed, and maintained; delicate.



    To make the best peanut butter sandwich in the world it is crucial that you follow these directions. People who have made the past recipes have been very indolent when they got to the important stuff. For instance, most people don’t know that you’re supposed to let the knife slowly meander through the peanut butter. Let it take it’s time. However, before even starting, its imperative that there is bedlam raging throughout the kitchen, so you have a scapegoat for the utter mess, you, and possibly your other siblings, are about to make. Another helpful tip would be to use non-chunky peanut butter. It is still nebulous to me why people like to eat all of those chunks of peanut in the peanut butter. What most people don’t understand is that peanut butter is no docile creature, and is often reluctant to leave the familiar peanut butter jar, for the new, and unfamiliar slice of bread. (for the best sandwiches I recommend all natural wheat, it allows for a better bond between the peanut butter and the bread.) While it may seem blatant that peanut butter is an inanimate object, one must treat it with the utmost respect, in order to retain relatively clean counters and shirts. (Because we all know, peanut butter loves staining people shirts, counters, dogs, walls, brothers, etc.) I hope this is not enigmatic to you, what I am telling you is aboveboard. When you open your eyes and follow me, and take one bite and your new and improved peanut butter sandwich will make you feel reincarnated. One last thing. DO NOT USE THIS TECHNIQUE FOR PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES! It will lead to the end of the world of sandwiches as we know it.

    Some people in the freshmen class might consider me an ignominy because the whole school knows me as the backstabbing brat who steals her friends’ boyfriends.
    My precocious mind is more than adequate to create a bedlam among the class of 2016.
    Here is how to steal your friend’s hunk:
    1. Get all of your friends to boycott talking to that slut, so it looks like she has no real friends.
    2. In front of your friend’s guy, act very docile, but denigrate your friend subtly, so it makes her look bad instead of you looking like a drama queen.
    3. Give nebulous references about how he can do better. If they are not enigmatic and if he is not an idiot, than he will catch on.
    4. If he happens to be oblivious to your flirting, you might just have to state your intentions blatantly.
    5. If you really like this guy, then be procrustean in your efforts. Don’t let that skank stand in your way.
    Before you know it, you will have him wrapped around your finger.

    How to embarrass Ms. fleming, what you have to do to give Ms. Fleming a sense of ignominy is get her to say horrible things at the right time. The key to this is for the class to cause great bedlam for a long time, and not stop when ms. fleming says so. While ms. fleming wants to be a martinet and get us calmed down, one of the students must yell Ms. Fleming smells like toots. After Ms. Fleming feels disgusted with the comment someone else tells her, blatantly in the middle of the class, that her hands look like a man's. She quickly responds then, apart of the plan, "I will send you straight to Mr. Loach's office!" At that exact moment, Ben welcomes in the eighth graders touring the school. Ms. Fleming who feels sick to her stomach, boycotts the idea that she could get fired. Then, Ms. Fleming tried enforce procrustean rules, one particular student blurted out, "Ms. Flemings class is so prosaic, I can't wait for the bell to ring." Ms. Fleming was so shocked at this, she sent this student straight to Mr. Loach office. Ms. Fleming was so taken aback that her seemingly docile class was trying to denigrated everything that she had worked for. Then, as blatantly as possible, Ms. Fleming said, "If anyone one says another word, I will punch you square in the throat. There was no more nepotism, Ms. Fleming disliked everyone in her class, no matter if they were agnostics or not. Then out of nowhere the entire class blurted out, "Ms. Fleming, we were kidding."

    Ms. Fleming, of course we would never do anything like this because we love your class.

    Want to learn how to steal your friend’s significant other? Well it is easy follow these simple steps. First you must separate from your usual aboveboard ethics. You must make your friend feel ignominy in front of the significant other by telling an embarrassing anecdote about her that a friend should never share with a boy. Also to make sure there is no bedlam between you and your friend you cannot be indolent with this process. If you get caught in a tight situation make sure you are prepared to have a scapegoat to blame. You must be conducive to your friend pretending to be a good person. You must catch her off guard and abduct her. After blatantly locking her in a room, you must knock her out so she will not remember anything, but first win the heart of the significant other claiming that she had moved away. Denigrate her reputation so her ex-boyfriend no long likes her. And you live happily ever after!

    Let me tell you an anecdote of when bedlam broke out between my friend and I. It all started when I fell for his girlfriend. I ended up stealing her. If you are wondering how to successfully carry out this enigmatic task, here is the process. First you must avoid any blatant behavior around your friend or his significant other. Do not make it obvious that you like the partner or that you are trying to get his/her mate to like you back, such behavior will expose your intentions. The next step is to make your friend’s mate fall for you with strategies, skills and actions that are aboveboard and trustworthy, such as becoming close to them and slowly making them realize you like them. However, keep things nebulous and unpredictable the first couple of weeks. Restrain from prosaic shibboleths you hear commonly from those in love. This process should help you in swiping their boyfriend/girlfriend, however be aware that pandemonium might break out among your friend and you. Such a task may also cause ignominy. Also the friend, whose significant other has been stolen, will tend to boycott you and everything you like causing some hatred between the two of you and leading to chaos. If your friendship is more important, I suggest you don’t try this at home.

  13. In order to seduce your male friend’s significant other, you must first portray yourself as an aboveboard, moralistic person. This will draw her to you. Once you’ve gained her trust, you must induce her to go on a secret date with you: don’t consider abducting her even if you do have a creepy obsession with her. Don’t make it blatantly obvious or else you will lose both your friend and her. Don’t come on too strong; make your feelings for her appear hazy, unclear, and nebulous. Always pay attention to her, laugh at her jokes, and actively participate in the conversation, less you appear indolent and lazy. Once you have settled into the date and are no longer nervous, ask about her relationship with your friend. Use him as a scapegoat for all of their relationship problems. Remain attentive throughout the rest of your date. Meander a little bit on the way back to your car and you might even score yourself a goodnight kiss. If you’re lucky, she may even have a carnal desire for you.

    How to steal your best friend's boyfriend in 10 days:
    1. Acquire the target. Do not steal your martinet friend's boyfriend... she will find out and take you down.
    2. Whenever you are walking down the hall and you see her boyfriend, casually meander over to him. Maybe even start a casual convo. Be casual. Always.
    3. If you are too forward, it will cause bedlam and and a huge fight. Then you will have no chance of getting her man.
    4. You may never be indolent. You have to always be working to get close with your friend's boyfriend.
    5. Once you become friends with your friend's boyfriend, ask him with some help with your homework, and then blatantly tell him how you feel about him. Do not be nebulous. Tell him exactly how you feel.
    6. Tell him that his girlfriend cheated on him, even if she didn't. Remember, you're desperate here.
    7. When he breaks up with her, your relationship at first can be a little bit enigmatic, but you can work it out.
    8. Be wary of your friend, as she may use you as a scapegoat in future situations.
    9. Be docile and friendly with your new boyfriend, because he might be in a rough place because of his recent breakup.
    10. If you do not follow these steps exactly, you will fail and feel ignomony and like a total failure. Because you will be. Follow these steps. Or else.

  16. How to drive badly:

    First, you must blatantly speed through every stop sign. Meander through traffic, and ignore the white traffic lines. This is sure to cause much bedlam in the streets. By this point, you might have a police car trying to pull you over. Act docile and pull over for him. When he gets to your window, claim that the lines were nebulous and vague. If he doesn't buy your story, traduce his character and denigrate his family. Then, speed off quickly. He will be shocked by your enigmatic behavior, and that will give you time to get away. If he wrote down your license plate you might have to appear before court. Hopefully the judge won't be a martinet. Smash the taillight of your car. When accused, tell an anecdote about how the officer attacked your vehicle, and use him as a scapegoat. In the end you can drive poorly, and get away fine.

  17. How to get out of trouble with your parents:

    As a kid you definitely don't want to become a pariah by being grounded so that needs to be your first priority. While at first your parents might think that what you've done is anarchy, in reality it is not a big deal. In my family though anything that is bad that is pecuniary is always the worst. Being tawdry is unacceptable because they do not want you to turn out impecunious. Whatever the case is whether you were stentorian during class and your mom got an email about it, or you talked back to your parents, their achilles' heel is their love of you. As long as you tell them that you cannot fathom the thought of doing it again, and it was a desultory act you will be in and out of being in trouble very fast. While they are the monarchs of the house, they will always be as understanding as possible in a bad situation.
