The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Cobbs

1. Pre-drink, pre-drink, pre-drink. Need I say this again? This saves one from the anxiety one feels when one rolls up to an establishment, party, or show all by one's lonesome. This also kicks your shit into high-gear, thus sealing the wild and crazy night deal.

2. Put all sorts of limitations and expectations on oneself and then break them all repeatedly. Dieting? Screw it up. Quitting smoking? Buy a pack. No more tom-catting around? Go on a panty-raid to outlast all panty-raids. Y'smell what I'm steppin' in? Cobbs are paradoxical at best. They're also ginormous hypocrites and overall, wishy-washy.

3. Make odd bird noises and scat like a vaudevillian. This will ensure one's place in the weirdness category one so desperately longs to be in.

4. OBSESSIVELY check one's email and MySpace. It is a drug, do not deny it.

5. Mess with one's hair so! much! that it barely resembles a head by the end of the day. Par example: Right now, my hair is the texture of a Brillo pad. But it's the color of pink gold or something. And that's how you win friends and influence people - haircolor alone.

6. Text message like a freak! Do not answer the phone! Forget to call one's parents! Drunk dial everyone in the greater United States!

7. Last but certainly not least, take a job in which one will be reprimanded, heavily, and yet still recognize that this is the most laid-back job one has ever had. And one is still fucking it up.
