A friend of a friend started a hashtag game on Twitter tonight – #BadSandyAdvice – and I couldn’t help but add a few ideas into the mix.

Just cut the power and water at your house now. #BadSandyAdvice8:07 pm

Write “WE HAVE EXTRA FOOD, EVERYONE WELCOME” on your neighbor’s garage. #BadSandyAdvice8:49 pm

You’ll never have a better opportunity to pester your roommates into giving roleplaying games a try. Don’t waste it. #BadSandyAdvice8:54 pm
