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.
