Exercise #391: Pick Six
Posted 10/22/10

Roll a die three times, to give yourself three random numbers. Got 'em? Each number will correspond to a section below. The first number will be your choice from the first set of six, the second die's result will be your choice for the second set, etc. Got it? Okay, here we go.

It’s time to replace that old:
1. Couch
2. Recliner
3. Coffee pot
4. Car
5. Mattress
6. Light bulb

While shopping for the new one, someone slips a note in your pocket. You find it when paying for your purchase. The note says:
1. Instantiated Merger
2. Reticulating Splines
3. No Listener
4. Compressing Textures
5. Error Creating Window Handle
6. NOXMLHTTP

How very odd. In an effort to figure out what that means, you consult with:
1. A priest
2. Your spouse
3. Your kids
4. Your attorney
5. A banker
6. A policeman

Now the hard part: show us what's happening. Give us the ins and outs of this and how it turns out. You may choose to have a character doing this, rather than yourself. Remember to let us know what your choices were.
