It's time to watch the weather! Aren't you excited? Are you all giddy inside? No? Well, then maybe you need to have more at stake to fully appreciate the gift of dare that mother nature offers you...
Dare:
Roll one die. This will determine which of the following keywords is going to be your forecast for tomorrow. No re-rolling if you don't like your number. That's life, suck it up.
- sun/sunny
- clouds/cloudy
- rain/showers
- high
- storm
- pressure
Now watch the weather forecast. Yes, the entire weather forecast. Pay particular attention to the meteorologist whenever they mention your keyword. You must count the number of times they say your keyword. It's going to be very important, so pay close attention!
All day tomorrow, you must wear the same number of items as times your keyword was mentioned on last night's weather forecast. Should you be cursed (or blessed, depending on your point of view) to have your keyword mentioned zero times, you're stuck wearing your birthday suit all day long. I hope you rolled a good keyword!
Now, a few definitions...just to make sure we're all dressed appropriately for the conditions!
- Item: An item is ANYTHING that was not found on your body when you were born. (Well, I guess a tattoo would be an exception...but just about anything else qualifies!) Common things that are considered items: watches, jewelry, shirts, pants (even though they cover two legs, pants are only one item, see - I can be nice!), socks (each sock is one item...sorry, that's just the way the cookie crumbles), shoes (each shoe is also one item), etc.
- Wear: Placing something on your person with the intent to not have to hold or carry it. A backpack doesn't qualify as something wearable, but a watch, underwear or your shirt does.
After you've completed this dare, answer the following question in a blog post on getdare.com. (And feel strongly encouraged to share your challenges or lack of challenges with the rest of us pitiful souls!)
Is the weather any more important to you than it was before?
Now go be daring...
Note:
This dare is intended to be a relatively G-rated dare, hence my choice of keywords. Of course, given the seasonal changes in your area and the propensity of the weather to change from day to day, well...the result could be just about anything.
