Greetings!

Having just finished being unemployed, I would like to discuss with the fellow men (and womens) of Dakka the many and varied (stupid) methods of staving off Boredom.

Here is one of my favourites, a game inspired by a letter to Viz, and christened 'Lord Of The Ring' by my brother and I.

Simply take one diarrhetic pill (say, Dulco-Lax) and a constipationary pill (say, Immodium) then get a good book, sit on the chod bin, and have your friends place bets as to which of these miracles of medical science is punching it's weight! Gambling fun for all the family, and boredom neatly staved off for another few hours.


Any suggestions from you guys?

I blow stuff up. This weekend I was with some friends, and we decided to use firecrackers on a chicken (it was already dead, and at a chicken farm)

It was definatly NOT boring.

I also read books and play videogames so I don't get too bored.

I sometimes make novelty bowls out of old records that don't work by putting them in the oven and molding them over a regular bowl.

Also, my friend and I spit on the fireplace door to see how long it sizzles for.

I see how many push-ups I can do in a minute/ hour/ commercial break.

Play baseball with the walnuts in the backyard

Heat metal and beat the hell out of it on my anvil

Try to do those puzzle books that are impossible
