KC Jan 19 2006 06:47 PM

1) call a loved one and tell them you're thinking about them 2) cut your toe nails, they could be considered weapons in 15 states 3) take all the keys off your keyboard and soak them in a mild soapy solution to make them look brand new 4) go polish your 9 iron (lol) 5) go punk post on another board

1) Homework 2) Housework 3) Get a start on dinner 4) Drive a kid somewhere - one of the kid always needs to be driven somewhere 5) Read for pleasure

They're things to do when I don't have the CPF as an excuse not to do 'em.

1) call a loved one and tell them you're thinking about them The judge's order said I had to stop doing that. 2) cut your toe nails, they could be considered weapons in 15 states I do this while cruising the CPF. 3) take all the keys off your keyboard and soak them in a mild soapy solution to make them look brand new Never thought of that. 4) go polish your 9 iron (lol) Well, I can have two internet windows open at once. I mean I never thought of that. 5) go punk post on another board This is actually what I do.

I was going to start a stupid Elvis vs Sinatra poll today but decided that was too low even for us

I really don't know. I come here and to other forums while procrastnating while doing homework, but I end up coming here and procrastinating while typing actual thought-out responses to stuff, which is why I spend a lot of my time on the computer refreshing sports news sites. I procrastinate procrastinating. I lead a great life. 1) Read here or Jets board 2) Go for walks around town to see if anything is going (and its usually not) 3) Play video games 4) Actually try to do homework (right now, I should be doing a 6 page research paper due tomorrow that I just started half an hour ago) 5) Never gotten this far, actually.

15 Things to do at Wal-Mart while your spouse/partner is taking their sweet time: 1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking. 2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals. 3 Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms. 4 Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and see what happens. 5 Go! the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away. 6 Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area. 7 Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department. 8 When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' 9 Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your nose. 10 While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti- depressants are. 11 Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme. 12 In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels. 13 Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!" 14 When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!" ( And; last, but not least!) 15 Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, ! then, yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

I love that list, MFS62

When my son was two, I was at a Wal-Mart trying on pants, and he was in the dressing room with me. He thought we were in a restroom and he asked me to pee in the corner. I didn't, although I like the idea. The list was funny, and I have no love at all for Wal-Mart, so I'd be tempted to try a few of them. Except, of course, the victims would be those poor oppresed souls who work for Wal-Mart who are forced to work for an hour before they punch their time clock, and get no benefits. Whenever I'm in Wal-Mart I always end up feeling so bad for the workers. I think, there but for the grace of God...

Thanks for the laugh MFS62. Some of them are almost worth visiting the local WalMart just to try them out. I loath and despise WalMart. On the rare occasion that I actually find it necessary to spend any of my money at a WalMart, I feel guilty for having contributed to their coffers. And compared to the Mrs, I'm a cheerleader for damn WalMart.
