“What are my qualifications?” you ask.
I’ve opened this thread three times now, and have only now gotten the desire to post something. I’m too lazy to post to a thread that might not be successful.
Someone get me a beer.
Too lazy to finish the post I was writing. What the other people said.

Man Bitten By Radioactive Sloth Does The Lying-Around-All-Day Of 10 Normal Men
CENTRAL CITY—Laboratory assistant Brent Barker, bitten by a radioactive sloth last week in a freak lab accident, now possesses the relative loafing powers of 10 men. “Could someone pass me some more crackers?” asked the media-dubbed “Crimson Lump,” speaking from his titanium sofa, the only known object that can withstand his superhuman lethargy. “I can’t reach them from here.” Scientists are likewise baffled at Barker’s uncanny ability to remain motionless while watching amounts of television that would kill an ordinary mortal.
Heh Heh heh. his catchphrase “this is a job---- for someone else!”

Lyllyan, your SO is a freak.

I’m so lazy, I can’t be bothered to try and hide it.
But I’m not the laziest person I’ve ever met. Ooh no! Once, I was sitting on a couch beside a girl, who held her cigarette out to me and said “Take this”. I took it and said “What for?” and she replied “Can you put it in the ashtray for me?”. I said “The ashtray is right there in front of us, as close to you as it is to me” and she said “But I can’t be bothered leaning forward”. People, it barely took a movement to reach the ashtray! It was right there!!
Rather ironic that I’ve done nothing all week, but right now I’m taking 5 minutes between loads of washing and dishes and spare room tidying to post about how lazy I am. On the other hand, I’m only doing that stuff because we have guests coming to stay this weekend and I couldn’t be bothered working on the house earlier this week.
I don’t believe in laziness - or at least I don’t believe the condition called laziness should be described in pejorative terms. The body has a self-regulating system called homeostasis - right? So if it’s working properly your blood sugar may go up or down but it should come back to normal. You may overheat but a properly functioning body will be able to cope with that so you won’t die. I think laziness is just a form of unacknowledged tiredness and exhaustion - kind of like having mental diabetes. It has nothing whatsoever to do with possessing a suspect personality. Inactivity shouldn’t really appeal too much to a healthy person who gets adequate rest. A think a lot of people in Western countries live their whole working lives running on empty. Without caffeine the Western world would come to a stop. Tiredness is endemic, epidemic, all the demics.
Hi Spoofey! I’ve come back.* I was visiting with Sick Bastard and Mr Rotten. What jolly company they are! .

I’m not as lazy now as I was as a kid. The things I actually look forward to doing now (mow the lawn, work in the garden, fix the roof) you couldn’t have paid me enough to do when I was a teenager living at home.
One time I was laying on the couch watching t.v. and my mother came in and asked me where I sat the TV Guide. Instead of saying, or lifting my arm to point with my finger, I remained silent (to lazy to talk, you know) and pointed with my bare toe. My mother said "show me a lazier stunt than that and I’ll give you a fiver (not bad bread in 1973).
“Just slip it into my pocket” I said.
This is one of my mothers favorite “when PK was a kid” stories she often tells.
Laziness is good and natural! People in hunter-gatherer societies work significantly less than people in industrialized societies. Mostly they sit around and shoot the shit. I think working too hard is bad for our psychological well-being.
Now, procrastination, a related affliction I am in the throes of at the moment, is bad.
Reminds me of one of the those de-motivational slogans…
“Hard work will probably pay off eventually, but laziness always pays off immediately.”

Define “lazy”. I’ve spent entire weekends organizing my MP3 collection. I’ve used many an on-the-clock hour working on various personal projects. I meticulously documented every aspect of the game Might and Magic 3 to the benefit of no one but myself. Is that lazy? Is it lazy if you put a lot of time and effort into something that isn’t gainful employment? If so, then yes, I’m lazy. I spend as much time on my job as it requires, no more, but I can happily spend a lot of time doing other things.
I am the embodiement of the 2nd half of the 2nd law of thermodynamics:
"A body at rest stays at rest."
My body likes to stay at rest all the time.
>> Is it lazy if you put a lot of time and effort into something that isn’t gainful employment?
That’s not laziness. That’s called puttering and it is my #1 ability.
