Dares Thread (Part 2)

Have a character that's a vegetarian because he/she hates animals and figures that if people stopped domesticating certain animals for food, those species would go extinct.
BP: The character has a pet.

Dare: Have a pig in a Hazmat suit

DP: Pig in suit makes sense
TBP: Pig in suit is main character
QBP: Pig in suit is fighting an army of zombie chickens

I don't know if these have been done before, but:

Have a character that can't/won't make a left turn. Ever. When walking or driving or whatever.
BP if they have a fit whenever they are a passenger and a left turn is made.
DBP if forced to finally make a left turn to save the day.

Have a character who will only communicate with a hand puppet.
BP if the hand puppet is the villain.
DBP if the character has no idea that the hand puppet is the villain.

RE: Character who won't turn left. Knew a guy who would only make right turns. Seems a number of years ago he accidentally turned left in front of a motorcyclist and the motorcyclist didn't make it. After that this guy wouldn't ever make a left while driving. He's spend lots of time using maps to figure out how to get places without lefts. Drove his boss nuts. Thought this might help someone with the dare!

Well, I've taken so many that I really have to leave something also, right? So, here we go:

~Include a "that's what SHE said!" comment during the final climactic battle (or climactic event, if your story doesn't go that way). Bonus points if that isn't really what she said.

~Have every chapter title be a palindrome OR include a palindrome every other chapter; bonus points if they make sense!

~Make every characters name an anagram of each others', with the allowed addition of one extra letter per name (use this rule at your leisure and however you would please, it creates a rather nice loophole). Bonus points if you don't use the added-letter rule.

~Refer to other stories of yours during your NaNo. Bonus points if the characters are the ones making the reference, double bonus points if they know who that story is by and not their own.

if anyone chooses any of these, please let me know =D you're super-special-awesome <333
