I guess I should be offended that I was the second choice, but meh, I can't be bothered.

The fact that you two are currently informed of an organized event nullifies your ability to be complete slackers.

Maybe tomorrow we'll think about voting on a better slacker.

In prehistoric times in South America, there lived a species of animal called megatherium or giant ground sloth. Now, sloths are notoriously lazy creatures, with an exceptionally low body-heat and slow metabolic rate, and it's quite normal to find a sloth with moss growing on it.

Ground sloths were sloths that were too lazy to climb trees. Giant ground sloths were like ground sloths except they weighed about as much as a bull elephant, and even a sabre-toothed tiger couldn't kill one because of their size, which meant they had no natural predators.

Megatherium was probably the laziest species ever to walk the earth.

Now, I'd have made an excellent giant ground sloth--except for the unfortunate fact that the last one probably died around 6,000 BC.

Which means that the reason I wasn't born a giant sloth is because they'd become extinct before I got around to being born.

Non Serviam

No, Smilinghelps, I'm afraid not. I've been letting the slacking slide a bit, of late.

Please could someone else create a Slackers' Rights Movement?

In a poll recently, it was decided that the overwhelming majority of people who expressed a preference felt that slackers were underrepresented in society at the moment and much in need of improved civil rights. Now, I admit that this was a poll that I just set up, and the only respondent was me, but I find it extremely persuasive.

Therefore I feel that slackers should be entitled to a substantial lump sum payment from the state, plus a monthly welfare income, privileged parking rights in special "lazy bastard" spaces resembling those for disabled people, and a continuous supply of money to make up for our inability to do anything productive with our time. We should also be supported by state workers whose job it is to do the housework, get the kids to school, go shopping and otherwise prevent us from needing to get out of bed, ever.

However I can't organise this civil rights movement owing to my slackness disability. I therefore demand (and by demand, what I mean is, vaguely hope) that someone else should make it happen for me.

I believe the symbol for those parking spaces would be a round body, with short legs sitting in a barcalounger holding a remote control in one hand and a beer can in the other.

Although, if you're truly a slacker--what you need to drive for?

The Civil Rights Movement sounds interesting, if only I was motivated enough to read your whole idea.
