In the apparent absence of any appropriate response to anything ever... how do you feel like venting your frustration?

1) [in response to yet another spate of childish insults exchanged between the US admin and various European regimes] Standing on one leg, like a flamingo, hurling rotten avocados at random targets while barking like a sea-lion (I know it would look daft but can you imagine how satisfying?)

2) [general response] moving to South Uist and cultivating lichens

3) [targetted response] Starting an import business which only deals in commodities which Donald Rumsfeld doesn't approve of (could be expanded to include John Ashcroft, Richard Perle, et al).

No, it should be an exporting business that specializes in fertilizer and aluminum tubing.

I don't think that's quite futile enough to encapsulate my true feelings...

I am devoting my energies to working on a devious plan to parachute into Baghdad, rescue Rageh Omaar, and spirit him away to be my love slave back in Blighty. It passes the time very pleasantly, I find, and dulls the reality most effectively.

But, if you want futile, an article on war porn in the Guardian today prompted me to think of writing some Rumsfeld /Tommy Franks slash. Fortunately the feeling passed before the screaming in my head began again.

i plan to hand out cookies for peace, while also playing bongos...oh wait, those are the pricks blocking traffic and making me late for work.

I play lots of escapeist videogmes and write homoerotic fiction about donny and george...

Ten says he's Sheryl Crow.

Drinking heavily and chainsmoking not an option? Okay then, I plump for training beetles to congregate on major intersections, spelling out "STOP WAR NOW" with their shiny black carapaces.
