5. Any of those books published? If so, provide titles
if you would, so I can check them out.

16. Well, send me galleys then. I'm a damn good editor.
If you need an editor, that is.

19. I've been considering submitting these to Daw Books...
They're not as critical about adventure fiction as most publishers. My stuff is all sheer escapism. The Literature Profs can read the classics.

2. You forgot "nap" as an option.
I don't take naps because I'm bored, but a lot of people do.

I'm not sure what I'd do if I were bored, because I can't remember the last time I was bored.

Though if you rephrased the question to ask: "What do you do when you're not doing anything else?" I'd answer: Read.

7. I read T.S. Eliot poems. Out loud. At the top of my lungs.
And in a really bad, fake Cockney accent. My neighbors LOVE me!

17. Find a midget and strangle him.
Occasionally I set puppies on fire, too.

A few days ago I was bored after overdosing on a combination of Amoxycillin and Scotchgard. While in the Emergency Ward, I stole a sthoscope off of a doctor and listened to the sound of blood flowing into my penis. That was amusing for a few hours.

Oh, and sometimes I spackle holes in the ceiling with human flesh.

But I would NEVER EVER spam the lounge with dozens of useless posts just because I'm bored. That's tacky.
