My computer is currently...um... indisposed, so I have been quite negligent in my Jedi blogging. My apologies.
First off, let me start this post by saying "I am, in fact, a cheater." Our motto during my second summer at Tawakoni was "If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin' hard enough." Having said that...
Day 3: Today try a new food.
This proved to be the most difficult part of Jedi training so far. My parents and any one who's ever had the misfortune of dating me all know that I am BEYOND picky. I've tried pretty much every food that sounds good to me. So the idea of first of all, trying to find a new food in Springfield and then forcing myself to eat it, just didn't seem like a pleasurable endeavor. I know, I know, I'm a hedonist. I know, I know, I'm picky and stuck in my ways. Thanks.
So what did I do? Ohhh I sort of cheated. Dr. Finch returned from Germany and brought back some wonderful Deustch schokolade for me. Yeah, I've had chocolate before but it was German chocolate! That counts...right? Damn.
Day 4: Make it your goal to shake some ones hand today.
Thanks to the swine flu, no one would touch me. I guess the training technically states "make it your goal" so I didn't totally fail on this one.
Day 5: Give someone a compliment.
I never realized just how sarcastic I am 95% of the time in my interactions with other people. Sheesh Lindsey. Matt was gracious enough to allow me to use a compliment from the day before to count for this one. You should try giving out random compliments sometime, it's honestly not easy.
(Speaking of Matt, you should definitely check out his blog. Both the Jedi training and the rest of what he writes are insightful and entertaining)
Day 6: Try to make some one laugh
On a normal day, this would not even make me bat an eye. I secretly delight in forcing customers into polite laughter on a daily basis at the Pier. However, I'm in a mood today. I believe Matt used the term "kill-joy." Needless to say, this may prove a bit of a challenge. You should leave me your best stupid joke in the comments section so maybe I have a fighting chance at this one.

Ok. I've got a couple of good ones:
What did the angry penguin say when his wallet was stolen?
Meh (in your best penguin impression).
So, two guys were discussing their recent Freudian slips and the hub-bub caused with their wives. The first guy begins:
"So, we're headed to the ticket counter at the bus station for our trip to Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the woman at the counter has cleavage to her belly-button, and I accidentally said, 'Two pickets to Titsburg, please.'"
The other man replies:
"That's nothing. The other morning at breakfast, I tried to ask my wife for the butter and accidentally said, 'You ruined my life, you stupid whore.'"
Yeah. Those are both good ones.
What were Mario and Luigi's overalls made of?
Denim denim denim
By the sounds of this blog....you might be a jedi fail. Sorry. I say this out of love, really. jk :) But really, you should try to push yourself a little. It doesn't specify that you have to actually swallow some new food(lol). What about trying some new sushi?
Hmmm... it's now October 16. Have you recovered? I see that my word verification (below) is "lotch". That must mean something...
