I think we should send Courtney to the Oregonn Humane Society to pet kittens. Because that sounds about as discomforting as what Marjorie went through.

We would've waited until September.

KITTENS!!!

Most events aren't going to be too bad with a free ticket. The key is finding something actually uncomfortable rather than simply lame.

The writers/editors of the Merc are pretty accessible via email. I think if people have suggestions for truly "Discomforting Nights," they should email 'em in.

Kittens would be horrible for me. I'm super allergic and they usually cause me to break out in a cold sore, herpes face style. Kittens bad!

EXCELLENT IDEA!

Too bad it's too late to make someone go to Portland Foot Fetish Night.

The Mercury River Swim should be interesting. Mercury River Swim now featuring sewage overflow.

Someone should have to go to a Pampered Chef party.
