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?

Yeah. It's slightly more interesting than geocities. Use copy-paste, you know the drill.

EDIT: Links updated, I made a few quick html showcase-pages. Makes life easier for you lot. I really am bored, aren't I?

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?

At 3pm today i drove my bike into some bush. So when you hit it you flip over the bike and land deep in the bushes. Hurt a few times but it was fun. Driving as fast as you can and then get launched is fun!

I suggest we restrain Darkage from watching Jackass for the rest of his life.

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

Our backyard has a hill that is around 70 degrees down in some places. I like riding my bike down it and crashing into the fence. I should stop though, the fence is probably going to break soon.

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 :)

Some people must learn the way of the Jackass, to others it just comes naturally.


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:

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.

Tries hard to think of famous landmarks in Halifax... fails. :D

What did you throw it off of?

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

Want to see real fun? Burn $20s in a public square, nad film it covertly. Forget flag burning, you get people pissed. "Quick! Save the little piece of paper- noooo! WHY, GOD, WHY! Why not me instead???"
