Antonius, His Sweet Ride, and A Petite Ann Taylor Jacket

[Howard Treesong]

A colleague of mine recently left her jacket in my car. Me being me, I couldn't simply give it back without some amusement. I thought about giving it the lawn-flamingo world tour treatment, but that's been done. I happen to know that the colleague in question has a picture of Antonius on her screen-saver, so I suggested in an email that the jacket might show up in a picture of Patrik and his new Aston-Martin. In response, she said "I will do anything you say for a month if you get my jacket into a picture with Patrik Antonius and his sweet ride."

She clearly thinks I am bluffing, but is the type to carry out her end of the deal. What's my play?

Don't even think of asking for pictures. Not gonna happen.

All,

(I'll be doing this as we get new types of threads here like this one and the politics thread. Hopefully this type of "mod guidance" won't need to happen for very long.)

Here's the deal w/ threads like this.

If people come up with genuinely funny or creative responses that Howard can actually do and result in all manner of hilarity to be recounted on this forum, then great.

On the other hand, if the best people come up with is obvious stuff like OMFG PATRIK IS SO HOT (obviously!) or WHOA DUDE GET A PIC AND THEN SIIHP FOR A MONTH, then we'll just lock this and move on, pretend it never happened.

So, if you have some actual good ideas for Howard (or good stories about people having to deliver on bets like this), feel free to share.

I guess the first step would be to talk to Patrick. If Howard doesn't know anyone who can set this up, do any 2+2ers?

ms paint it in there...she just said she wanted the jacket in the same picture, right?

Is it possible to see a picture of the jacket?
And would it be physically possible for you to wear the jacket?

My current plan is to have you wear the jacket, and just blend with the hordes of other guys, who has a man crush on Patrik and wants to have their picture taken with him.

El D,

"On the other hand, if the best people come up with is obvious stuff like OMFG PATRIK IS SO HOT (obviously!)

I think you ruined everyone's post =(

In theory, yes. My technical skills may be a bar to this, but I will try tomorrow.

No chance. I wear a 42 regular suit coat; the jacket is much, much smaller than that.

I might be able to wear the jacket as a headband.

Go to a tournament Antonius is playing, stand behind him holding the jacket, have friend snap photo. Presto!

Sig, cbloom:

"jacket might show up in a picture of Patrik and his new Aston-Martin."

Let's try reading the OP first, OK? Unless you are telling me casinos are letting Patrik drive his hot ride right into the tournament.

Women that say they will do anything are lying. Not worth the effort if it cant be done easily. You will be disappointed

All,

Alas, nothing of any creative substance emerged in this thread. I'm locking to hasten its descent into obscurity, to be rescued from such fate if and when Howard PMs me with a sweet update.
