Kindle on the throne

Kumabjorn · 09-14-2011, 09:32 AM

The truth shall set ye free.
Come on be honest, how many of you bring your Kindle along when you are going to sit down on your Kohler?

DiapDealer · 09-14-2011, 09:43 AM

I chose the "Yes, it has been known to happen" option, but the truth of the situation is a flat-out "yes" with no qualifications whatsoever. It's just a given.

I think if my Kindle accompanied me, the additional delay would cause friends and colleagues to question my health.

I have been known to go a few rounds with iPhone Tiny Wings though.

The throne is the last bastion of quiet (well, for the most part). There's no distractions, minus the previous nights mojito's, and I can read to my hearts content.

Pomtroll · 09-14-2011, 11:18 AM

Nope. My middle name is Klutz & I'd be afraid of dropping it in.

jgaiser · 09-14-2011, 12:30 PM

Umm... Yep.

Goodness yes ... why else have one, even?

Generally speaking, if I'm in there long enough to potentially have time to read... I'm probably in too much pain to actually get any reading done.

Yikes. Is that why your username is "stickybuns"?

Someone had to ask...

I kid, of course.

Nope for me. Just stacks of magazines that I never get around to reading if not for bathroom time.

LOL! Eeeew!

Ok, so here's the story: For many years, I used the name "knullabulla" as my online name. I was living in Sweden and feeling oh-so-confident with my Swedish language skills, went into a bakery and ordered a cinnamon bun. What I intended to say was "kanelbulle" (kuh nell boo leh) but it came out "kuh noo luh boo luh"... which roughly translates to "f--k bun". It wasn't until I was halfway back to my dorm that I realized why the kid at the counter was so confused. I guess he thought it might be his lucky day?

Fast forward to about a year ago and some humorless twit complains to the moderators of the message board that I was spending most of my spare time on that Swedes everywhere were horribly offended and hurt (um, really? cause my 80-year-old grandmother-in-law fell over laughing when I told her what happened). So, I had to change it and "stickybuns" was the only thing that I could think of that still fit with the original story.

You're right those are humorless twits. You should try "runkabulle" instead, for those not in the know "runka" is slang for slapping the monkey or masturbation. In the days when Sweden had conscription "runka bulle" (jerk-off bun) was a standard hazing on your first military exercise. There are 20 guys to a tent with a heating oven in the middle. On said oven a "bulle" (bun usually of cinnamon variety) is placed and 20 guys make a circle around it and start a jerk off contest decorating the bun with their outcome. Last guy to decorate the bun has to eat it. Completely OT, but just to show that Stickybuns is correct in his verdict over the complainants.

DiapDealer · 09-15-2011, 09:37 AM

I... ummm... I'm speechless. Not offended. Just speechless. That might be an example of "over-sharing."

It's my first post here. And I'm in complete and utter shock...
