Quick! Anyone here got something I can do to turn my luck around?
Not to go into gory details or whine, but I've had grotesquely shitty luck in pretty much every facet of my life so far in 2010. How can I change that?

3. Rub the head of the garden gnome in the office fridge and moon a Republican within 12 hours.

4. Do everything opposite to how you normally do it.
I saw George Castanza do it once and it worked like a charm. No pun intended.

5. So, beer for breakfast, and go to the gym before work?
I like the idea, but there could be some logistical issues.

25. County of Ventura, administering state and fed programs.
Ventura County is a reddish backwater of polticial correctness (and hostility toward labor).

28. It just so happens that our party structure has turned VC blue
There's more registered Democrats here than Republicans. Thanks to Obama's charisma and a confluence of demographics. We made a concerted effort starting 2005 with MoveOn and DFA :hi:

8. Wear the same underwear backwards for 13 days, and...
wear the same pair of socks wrong-side-out for the same period of time. Yer welcome. And....GOOD LUCK! :-)

17. Take a bath in epsom salts or sea salt
You can also burn some sage and smudge yourself with it. Both are good at cleaning your chakras. I don't need to hear what others think of this suggestion. If Arbusto believes in luck, my guess he may be open to these suggestions. If Arbusto isn't open to it, he can pass.
