Unutterably Silly So what are you doing RIGHT NOW?

[recluse]

Actually, I've been working on a way to break into a person's call and blast an audible warning at them. At the same decibel level as a live "Who" concert. If you were sandwiched between two stadium speakers. Instant brain soup.
I'ed settle for an app that kills the car's ignition system if the driver activates the phone without a headset.

I live in the right now, Kindlekitten.

And right now, I think cell phones have turned people into self absorbed idiots who think their now is more important than my now. Until I activate their cell phone's colonoscopy app.

You should definitely check out my airy fairy fantasy shop. There's loads of stuff like that. All of it banned by the freedom of behaviour police. Unfortunately if you even talk about the stuff in the shop, both the behaviour police and the freedom of behaviour police will take turns at behaving badly upon your arse(tushie). so at this stage it will remain an underground enterprise. :shhh:

Is an "airy fairy" the same thing as an "elf with gas"?

Yeah that's probably what's slowing the phone down. Twitter, Rss, Mail backgrounds. I didn't reflect over that possibility.

Got it, Nomesque!

Kind of like feeding a toddler chili 20 minutes before company comes over. I like to bet on which relative the little time bomb is gonna go off on!
I also like feeding my maltese a bunch of raw broccoli before family visits. He's my little stealth weapon!

I am the extradimensional creature. Unfortunately, someone apparently beat me to it; the brain fungus was/is a pre-existing condition characterized by myopia, narcissism, anti-social behavior, excessive/unnecessary cellphone usage, and steadily-diminishing intelligence. EDIT: Not necessarily in that order.

I have a Droid X, a.k.a. The Best Phone In The World. I also completely, steadfastly, utterly and totally absolutely positively REFUSE to talk on it while driving. I have a Bluetooth earpiece and if I don't have it with me then they can damn well leave a voice-mail.

I'm pretty sure there are at least a dozen such people in my town alone who are alive today only because I love my truck. Carry on, Montesquieu, and someday I'll have the biodiesel-powered Hummer ready to thin the herd.

You know, I've always wondered if anyone has ever come up with a rational explanation for why, 9 times out of 10, the only person to survive in a major accident is the mental defective who caused it in the first place.

Relaxed muscles. You only tense up once you realise there's a problem.

Woke up.
Felt awful.
Drank a tea.
Feeling little better now.
Absolutely no motivation to study. Not that anyone is actually asking me if I want...

I just shoot the tires out of the Boom-Boom cars.

Have some more tea?

Then spend some time on here until you feel like you're just wasting time. Then spend a bit more time on here. Then you will feel incredibly motivated to study as panic sets in

Hehe, it has worked for months now. There is no reason why today should be different.
