I have recently acheived new heights in my "what to do with my time when I am bored"ness. Me and my friend yesterday stooped so low as to fill surgical latex gloves with water, blow them up with m-98’s, and take pictures of the explosions. When I look back, I am like “Oh my god! I can’t believed I just did something so pointless and stupid.” The strange thing is I can’t figure out why it was really fun. I look back and I am like “why was that fun?” I still can’t quite figure it out. I would like to know about yall’s extreme boredom times and what you do to pass the time away. Has anyone done anything more stupid than what I did? ---

I don’t think you were bored. It sounds to me like you had plan – a plan that involved latex gloves and firecrackers. Seriously, what were you expecting? [Droopy Dog voice] “It exploded. Yay.” This thread should be in MPSIMS (or maybe IMHO) within a few hours. ---

Well, I have this job moving threads, see? But sometimes I get bored, so rather than moving them to the proper forum (hint: IMHO), I just close them up. Cool, huh?
