The floobie of it all

Some people doubt that "floobie" is all that it's cracked up to be. Surely, these poor, misguided individuals must be pitied. Yet it is neither satisfactory nor friendly to simply look down on their pitiable lives. One must educate these peurile waifs. One must bring them up!

Do a good deed today. Make it a point, next time you're in your friend's room, to floobie along to the music. If there's no music on, strategically enthuse, "Boy, it sure would be a lot more comfortable for me to take my shirt off if there was some music on right now."

Then, as the notes of [insert musician's name here] lilt through the air, simply start humming along.

"Hmmm, hmm hmm hmmmm hummmmm hummm... La de da... hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmmm hummmmmmm..." and then, when your friend -- the poor pitable one who needs to be elevated to the level of those of us who are privy to the next-to-godliness of floobie -- is just beginning to register how annoying your humming is, insert a subtle "floobie, floobie doobie do" into the lyric.

Ka-flam! It'll be like the End of Days�. The world will rend itself apart and a bright light will open up from the sky and your friend will be bathed in the brilliance of floobie. No more will his/her/its lowly life be empty and devoid of purpose, for the sheer oneness of floobie willl have shined upon him/her/it. Surely this will be a new day on Earth.

Please copy and paste this into every communication for the next 3.14 years.

And what makes you think ka-flam is not a word?
