Unutterably Silly So what are you doing RIGHT NOW?

It doesn't work. You can try to look up your own backside as much as you want, but the view doesn't change.

The Muffin Man enjoys it as well, so you're in good company.

So right after I press the button againm I guess I'll be reading my own post...

Normally I'd say "Everyone's allowed just one of those in this thread", but since you filigreed it so delightfully with the above second post, I'm going to chuckle to myself instead.

:chuckle:

Cheers,

No .... they are pretty much just creating messes in all the places I worked so hard to clean. It's business as usual.

However, it's almost 7:00pm. I have had one HELL of a week, so I'm going to knock off work now, and do a little organizing .. maybe start my next Discworld book (I finished "Moving Pictures" last night .... good book, but I wanted more for one of my favorite characters). Or .... watch a movie.

I'm reinstalling all my 3d content, now that I understand (somewhat better) where different types of files are supposed to go for everything to work right. Feels like I've been at this for days.

Well, probably because I have....

The results are in - apparently I'm a neurotic introvert retreated so far back into his safety-closet his arse is butting into Narnia. The online test is called IPIP-NEO, which, since it has NEO in the end, which is an anagram of "ONE", and has two "P"s in it, I am going to henceforth call it the "ONE-eyed, ONE-horned, flying Purple People eater" test.

Those who like this sort of silliness might like today's free "Giveaway Of The Day": http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/digital-physiognomy/

This purports to be a program that lets you assemble your face (or someone else's) via police-sketch means, then it "determines person’s character and traits based on facial features.... Among the characteristics it evaluates are Temper, Intellect, Self-Esteem, Sense of Humor, Level of Optimism, Will Power, even Luck."

A bit more work than the Purple People Eater test, but possibly entertaining.

[nekokami]

Having just completed the Purple People Eater test, I'm no longer so sure that it is less work than trying to create a composite sketch using the software I mentioned previously (or any other software). Nevertheless, I persevered, and I present my scores for your entertainment:

Marc, you may also find it amusing to learn that I stole one of your lines while dreaming this morning. I dreamed that I was kidsitting my nephews, and one had been very difficult, and when his parents returned, I told them he was "so far into the doghouse that his backside was sticking out into Narnia."

But if you try to bill me for the line, I'll bill you for intruding on my dreams so let's just call it even, ok?
