1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
It is entitled "I Am America (and so can you) by one of the last bastions of truthiness left in this nation, Stephen Colbert.

Bien sur.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
Je finis.
4. Post the next three sentences.

5. Tag five people.
Five is even more than showed up for Mass at our chapel last week, so I shall tag Fr. Heidrich and George.
