[QUOTE=FairyChatMom] When people break off conversations with: “Oh, excuse me - I see my insurance guy over there and I need to ask him…” [/QUOTE] :dubious: So I ask you, who is boringer, the person who seeks out Insurance Guy for novelty, or the person who makes insurance his _life_. And oh yes, I do read auto insurance policies. Can quote 'em. And I’m curently enthralled with a project that has me comparing the salvage vehicle titling regulations for 49 US states & Canada to determine which ones are more restrictive relative to all the others. Y’all can go home now. I’m gonna give some more free hours to the company on this project and hope I don’t get caught. ---

[QUOTE=AHoosierMama] HoosierDaddy and I spent last Friday night looking up words in the OED. :o but we were drinking scotch and laughing - does that make it better? [/QUOTE] You’ve reminded me of one of my strongest childhood memories. My parents had gone out for the evening and arrived home. I was upstairs in the toyroom when they came stumbling up the stairs, literally on their hands and knees trying to outcrawl each other to the OED in the shelf in the toyroom while giggling hysterically. Apparently they were arguing over how to spell “newel post” (with or without a K). It’s completely out of character for my father to goof around like that and I was highly amused but also bemused by this display. Now I realize that they must have been drunk but at the time it was strangely wonderful. I can’t even describe how boring I am. NOTHING EVER HAPPENS! My retired parents have enthralling lives compared to me. I resort to recounting my dreams because at least something happens in them. :smack: ---

[QUOTE=Mbossa] I’m pretty boring. [/QUOTE] Yeah, well at least you’re pretty. The other night I watched _Dirty Jobs_, where I saw a guy who’s more boring than me. He runs a Twin-Boom Joy Borer, to drill blasting holes in a salt mine. I’ve never bored like that. 😉 I’m so boring, I’m not even the most boring guy. :smack: ---

I tend to drift off when telling other people my stories and then I forget what I was talking about. I’m that boring. [QUOTE=The Chao Goes Mu] I’ve read tech manuals just for kicks and turned down sex to finish an article in Scientific American. Smoooooth. [/QUOTE] That turns me on a little. ---

[QUOTE=Kalhoun] I’m so boring that it is difficult for me to stay up past 9:00. After all, I have to be up at 4:00 am for Coffee Talk and News with Mr. K. In case you were wondering, that’s pretty much the high point of my day. [/QUOTE] Sounds exciting to me. I am usually in bed by 8 pm and the light is out no later than 8:30. I also get up at 4 to get ready for work. If I am lucky I will stay up past 9 on Friday and Saturday. I am currently reading the 1979 Reader’s Digest Almanac. I get excited about Crayola Crayons. I once got a job as a late night radio host. Within a week I cured everyone from insomnia. I was asked to say a few words at my sister’s wedding reception. Very few. I bought a large bag of M&M’s and had a M&M’s tournament. 511 M&M’s smashed in a little over 2 hours. #352 won. My favorite color is gray. I once spent 7 straight hours on the SDMB. 1/3 of the folks reading this thread will skip my post. If they get this far. I still have M&M #352. ---
