So, what's your definition of bored out of your mind?

[Xipe Totec]

Mine?

Oh, how about, I accidentally yanked the whole cuticle from my right middle finger, spent the next 15 minutes dabbing the blood onto the corner of a paper towel, scanned the towel, uploaded it to photobucket, and linked it here...



How bored are you? :hi:

PS: The picture doesn't do justice...

1. Just as I thought...

You guys don't know the meaning of the word bored...

:rofl:

Oh, well, carry on!

:hi:

[kentauros]

2. I think I know the meaning of the words "empathetic pain"

:P

Ouch!
I hope you didn't do that on purpose... ;)

Mind-numbingly bored to me is where not even The Lounge holds my interest :o

[Xipe Totec]

6. No, not on purpose

I should have reached for the nail clippers, but...

I didn't think it would take that long to stanch the flow.

Who knew?

:shrug:

3. That sounds like pain, not boredom.

Boredom is waiting for a linux kernel compile on a woefully underpowered machine.

Mark.

10. That's why we have the word "multi-tasking"

:P

Do some cleaning while it grinds away ;)

12. Ever tried converting 3,000 lines of Python to Java in Eclipse?

While the compiler tries to tell you, how screwed up your python code looks as Java code?

Try 30 seconds between keystrokes.

4. That's pretty bored

How about spending day number 4, posting on DU, while hubby watches Night Rider. sigh.

[Xipe Totec]

8. Ok, that's pretty bored,

even for Oklahoma...

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

9. Well, I'm in Texas

But close enough. :hi:

[Xipe Totec]

14. Well Texas is more of a dust panhandle that a dust bowl...

Greetings from a Rio Grande Valley Boy :hi:

[Haole Girl]

16. I guess I should change that...

I put it in my profile when we had a major dust storm & I was disgusted by it.

17. Ok... that one wasn't real

But this one is: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/1515521

18. I remember seeing those in the Valley

as a young boy, I remember the dust clouds coming over, turning into mud rains, before the real rains began.

I've never seen them on film before, but I remember seeing them in real life.

I dind't realize they happened that far north too!

:hi:

5. Looking at some dude's bloody paper towel on the internet

This is the DU member formerly known as I M BORED.

7. Good point....

:applause:

[Deja Q]

11. At least it wasn't a bloody napkin, the sort some people make Xmas decorations with...

:hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. My definition of "bored out of one's mind" is that one has an uncreative and unevolved mind.

I do firmly believe that anyone who is "bored" lacks sufficient creativity, differentiation, or suffers some other malady.

Evolved adult human beings should never be bored.

Individual situations in which we find ourselves might be boring, of course - that which does not interest us can indeed be "boring". But an evolved mind finds a way to become unbored in those situations, instead of succumbing to the boredom as though one were a brainless victim to whom the world owes constant non-boring stimulation.

Pfagh on that, I say.

[Xipe Totec]

15. Like posting a bloody napkin, for example...

To start the creative juices flowing...

:evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Precisely! You said, "I'm bored", and instead of becoming a victim,

you found something else to occupy your mind.

Absolutely right.

20. I actually just read this thread.

How's that for bored? :P

[Xipe Totec]

21. Are you bored still?

:P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. scrolling back pages of the Lounge, looking for locked threads

on a Saturday night...while Traffic (the movie) is on TV.

[Xipe Totec]

23. That's frustrating

sometimes, replies to my OPs become whole deleted threads before I get a chance to read them.

I always feel cheated... :P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

24. at least people respond to your threads

I like to watch the ripples mine make as they sink like a rock :)
