Title: Boredom and lawnmowers
Post by: Odyssey on May 25, 2003, 10:36:35 am: Today, I was bored. Today, I was asked to mow the lawn.

First, mowing in lines emanating from each side of a square:

Then, realising I was still bored, turning what was left into a checkerboard with garden shears:

...This is what happens when the PSU on my main computer fries itself. Luckily I still have this box I constructed from spare parts... Otherwise who knows what would happen?

Post by: Odyssey on May 25, 2003, 10:57:59 am: Ah yes, but creosoting a fence is a cause of boredom, not an effect. :p If you were bored, you wouldn't suddenly decide to go out and creosote a fence, would you?

Infact, restrain him from watching MTV at all. I can't help but wonder, what might happen if he sees a Britney Spears video.

Post by: Darkage on May 25, 2003, 01:57:59 pm: I drove my bike from a 3 meter bridge into the water. Prety cool.

That was like 2 years ago. got to do that again but this time with a ramp.

Okay. This is scary. :shaking: I was doing the same thing this afternoon. In my case it was a corrupt hard drive that was the cause but I too was making ever smaller squares with my lawnmower :)

Psychic-links and all that.

Me, I just go driving and flip off big truckers to see what happens.

I used to play "demolition derby" with my friends on bikes, but crashing into a fence??? :eek2:

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 26, 2003, 04:52:26 am: Last August, myself and some mates took a Boiler suit - stuffed with newspaper to look like a body - to Halifax, and threw it off various landmarks, and filmed it.

I'll try and find the videos.

Post by: karajorma on May 26, 2003, 06:11:10 am: Tries hard to think of famous landmarks in Halifax... fails. :D

What did you throw it off of?
Title: Boredom and lawnmowers
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 26, 2003, 06:33:38 am: North Bridge, the upper balcony in the Piece Hall, the bridge to the railway station (past Eureka), a few fire escapes. We were going to throw it off Burdock Way (the flyover) but we'd likely have the law on our backs.

We did get kicked out of the Piece Hall, though.:D
