Ok, I know a lot of you enjoyed the first one of these I did, and I kinda didn't want to do another just in case it wasn't funny but I'm suffering from SERIOUS Bones withdrawal and was very unhappy with the end of Season 4 so I thought I'd try to knock out another list. Hope you like 'em!
1. Start using complex scientific language in everyday conversation. This may take some research and time (wikipedia is wonderful!) but we have almost four months to fill people! While using said language, if the people you're talking to claim they 'don't know what you're talking about', laugh like a crazy person.
2. Collect a bunch of beetles from your backyard or local park. Name them! Race them! Bet on them!
3. If you live in or near Washington DC, go on a guided tour of the J. Edgar Hoover building. Constantly bug your tour-guide, demanding to know what happened to Deputy Director Cullen. If they claim to have never heard of him, accuse them of taking part in a government cover-up to hide the truth. If you get forcefully escorted out of the building by men in black, bonus!
4. Learn origami. You’ll appreciate this when you forget someone’s birthday and are able to make a beautiful paper stalk out of napkins.
5. While on the afore-mentioned tour of the F.B.I building, sneak away from your tour group and go in search of Booth's office.
6. Go to a cemetery. Dig up a grave and steal the skull. If you are underage, you can try to get a parent to do this for you. Put it in a bag and go loiter around your nearest airport until airport security staff catch on and detain you. Wait for Booth to come and rescue you. (A/N - I am in no way responsible if this backfires and you get charged with grave-robbing or desecrating the dead.)
7. Turn up at a random funeral. Steal the corpse. If anyone catches you, explain to them that as 'King of the funeral' you can pretty much do as you please.
8. Read and/or write copious amounts of fanfiction.
9. Watch re-runs of Firefly. It is actually a terrific show for those of you who have not seen it, and every time Jayne comes on screen (played by Adam Baldwin AKA Agent Kenton from 'Two Bodies in the Lab') scream at him for trying to kill Brennan.
10. While doing your supermarket shopping, you can pass the time Bones-style. Go to the instant pasta section and laugh at the 'Zacharoni', then become quiet and depressed. As payback, go to the cheese section, throw the Gorgonzola on the ground and stomp on it in revenge. Stock up on sunflower seeds... whoops sorry wrong show... Grin stupidly at the gum, steal some puddings and back away in horror from the teas - they're poisoned!!!
11. If you live on the East coast of Canada, go visit Oak island, and the famous money pit - the real-life version of the one in 'The Man With The Bone'. You can read more about it link It's fascinating!
12. Buy some tick-tock cookies (you know the ones, round with a clock face on one side and white, pink or yellow icing on the other? I used to love them as a little kid...) and make them little SWAT outfits. Set either your room or apartment/house/unit etc. up in an obstacle course using chairs, tables, couches and whatever else you have lying around. Turn off all the lights, find a flashlight and try to navigate through it, communicating at all times with your tic-toc team. (A/N - try to get someone else to play with you. I found I felt very silly doing this on my own.)
13. If you're over 18/21/whatever the legal drinking age is in your country, get a job as a bartender. Tell all your friends you actually work as a shrink.
14. Buy a voice distorter. Using it, call your parents/loved ones, and inform them that you have been kidnapped and buried alive. Inform them that if they do not pre-order the Bones Season 4 DVD box set in 24 hours, they will never see you again. (A/N - Once again, I am not responsible in any way if you get charged with falsifying a crime or faking your own kidnapping.)
15. Try to convince everyone you know to eat pie. Even if they don’t like their fruit cooked.
16. Go to LA. Call a prostitute house and order a 'two for one special'. If Hodgins and Booth do not turn up at your door, storm out in disgust. (Ok, I admit that I may be a little crazy. Also, if you are a guy and reading this, substitute Angela and Brennan into the Booth and Hodgins bit. Unless you're CouncilMan. Then Angela and Perotta will do.)
17. Buy some sea-monkeys. Name them! Race them! Bet on them! Feed them spam!
18. Learn three different types of martial arts. Or how to shoot. If your not quite into this sort of stuff, I hear poking people in the eye can be quite effective.
19. Expand your music tastes. Some things to look out for include: free-form jazz, Norwegian metal, Tibetan throat singing, classic Karaoke hits etc.
20. Last of all, spend waaaay too much time at this spot ranting on about Bones :D God knows that's what I'll be doing...
