  • The question on everybody's mind is "What will be hot this spring?" Early speculation suggests miniskirts, but I think they are missing the point. The hottest trend this spring is definitely going to be 'Boring.' Boring is the new black. Interesting is so last season, and you wouldn't want to be caught dead in Fascinating. So get ready style aficianados, this is your guide to Boredom.

    The way you should act in public.

    Remember how that lurky guy in your dorm always used to stare at you from the hall for five minutes and then walk away abruptly? Creepy, right? Well not in 2007, lurkyness is your key to success this spring.

    Practice your "lurk." You need to perfect standing around as though you have something to say, and then don't say anything at all. A good technique is having an imaginary conversation in your head with the person you are staring at.

    "Hey Karen, how was your weekend?"
    "Great, Jim, how about yours?"
    "It was pretty fun, my buddy got a new boat, so we went down to the lake. "
    "Wow that's awesome, I went to---"
    "Oh, Karen, sorry, my phone is ringing, I'll be right back."

    That is how it should appear in your head. But the person you are "lurking" should see it as:

    "------"
    (After thirty seconds you run away.)
