My Remarkable Suggestions Suck
jbg has started up season two of This Podcast Sucks and a main theme of the season will be his search for remarkable activities that he can hopefully accomplish during season three.
This is an excellent idea.
I sent him a few suggestions, which he can use or dismiss as he sees fit, but my favorite suggestion, and one that I really hope he chooses, is:
Build an accurate and life-size version of yourself out of paper mache and then pose for pictures with it in public places around Boston.
I can’t explain why I think this would be fantastic, I just know that it would be.

You think it’s a great idea because you did essentially that for Halloween last year.

That’s a fair point.
Regardless, I still think it’s a good idea. The pictures of me are kind of funny, but pictures of Jeremy standing next to a lifesize, three dimensional Jeremy next to the reflecting pool downtown would be much funnier.
Ok, I admit it, now that you’ve pointed out the similarity, the suggestion seems lame.

can you explain your halloween costume? are you wearing 2 pairs of jeans?

I went as myself for Halloween.
The picture doesn’t do it justice. I had a full, life-size and photo-realistic cardboard cut-out of myself in the very clothes that I was wearing that night. The cardboard me was accurate down to the beer in my hand. I even had a cardboard cutout face that I could put in front of my own face. It was, apparently, very unsettling.
It was a really good costume.

Fine, fine. It’s a fair objection. It literally hadn’t occurred to me that I had already done it.
Damn.
