ennui
I'm so unbelievably bored by the shit that keeps cropping up on this board. Does anyone have suggestions about what I can do to keep myself occupied until the football season begins? Maybe I'll start painting pictures on my computer of my favorite Michigan players? Does that sound cool?
Maybe you can do another extreme makeover of your avatar
Make it maize on maize, maybe add an audio clip to it when someone mouses over... RAWK music.
fishing
to know there's someone tracking with me. I'm in Ludington this weekend, salmon fishing. An All-Blue crew on the boat, too. There will be discussion of Forcier and JT and BG and all the other blue stuff under then sun, but it will be secondary to the greater cause- getting drunk on a boat.
I'm on a boat and- I'm very drunk and...
I climb buoys MoFo.
I got a hook and a line, that's all I need man
I got my trawlin' line out, but fishes ain't bitin' so
No bass and no trout, I got nuttin' but this minnow
(take the damn bait, I swear it's REAL)
F--K THIS I'M GIVIN' UP MUTHAF--KA
F--K FISH I'LL GO HUNTIN' MUTHAF--KA
GO IN THE WOODS WITH DICK CHENEY MUTHAF--KA
BITCH SHOT ME IN THE FACE, WHAT THE F--K MUTHAF--KAAAA?
(source, in case you live under a rock)
also, is it september yet...?
I really wish that song would die already. Funny, yes, but way way overused.
but then I read this:

so instead I think you should just keep up the good thread-making work.
lend a helping arrow in bouje's amazing comeback from the mcoblog dungeon
Good idea.
I came back online and saw that I had the power to vote on posts and was.... confused...
Thanks... you don't hate me... you really don't hate me!
As far as suggestions go you could:
Start a blog
Start a new hobby
Watch a new show
Feed the poor
Adopt a child
and there is nothing else you can think of to look at?
Try playing this to pass the time.

8 tries.
the trick is to figure out which is the most open direction for the cat to head towards and then put down a circle near the edge in that general direction.
have you read the book by Aravind Adiga? soooo good.
Somewhere around 10 tries. It's pretty much getting lucky on where ur given spots are and where u decide to put spaces (obviously). All I did to get it was randomly throw a couple of spots out in the open and let the cat screw its self over. Stupid cats.
2 tries
Five tries, but I couldn't do it again.
You could be come a ND fan :)
There is always something for the diehard old timers to be complaining about
hulu.com
Buy and memorize Hail to the Victors 2009.
If you're in a buying or looking at random crap with the possibility of buying it mood, then I suggest woot.com. They have one thing on the site to buy every day for a deal. They only have so many of the daily item though, so once they run out they run out. I believe yesterday it was starwars bobbleheads and the day before it was an HP tablet computer. It won't really burn much of your time, but it's a good site to check out once in a while.
Have you tried sporcle.com? Depending on how wide your interests are, it should keep you entertained for a day or two.
Here are some good ones:
Name the college football rivalry
Name the college town
Name the teams with the most March Madness appearances
Name every Division 1-A team's nickname
Name every Heisman winner since 1980
Like many things on the Internet, it may sound dumb but it's highly addictive.
These were way fun. I got them all right but the nicknames (ran out of time) and March Madness.
Didn't get all of the Rivalry Names.
And didn't get the March Madness appearances. (Western Kentucky? WTF!)
I named all the I-A teams with 5:26 remaining. Can you beat that? Probably! Go!
I got so stuck on Arkansas State and Louisiana-Monroe. They were the Indians last time I checked, damn NCAA.
My summer hobby has been learning how to home brew beer. What else can I say, it's a pretty awesome way to pass time.
My px for CFB downtime blues is as follows.
1, install regulation dart board, musicbox, and mini fridge in secure area of living space
2, select beverage and cheese of choice
3, pick a Michigan schedule and play a CFB version of cricket and try to win more games in a season than Richrod or previous uofm coach
4, 16 rounds = a game (i.e., 4 rounds = a quarter), no points, if you can close out you win and you try to run the table/ win all regular season games. If things go well, you earn a bowl game.
EG., I am probably average at darts and in the midst of M's 09 schedule. I started 6-0 before losing to del st and pennst. After Trouncing the illini last night, I am bowl elligible at 7-2. This is my best season to date and usually I usually struggle to maintain a winning record.
I've never had to invent scenarios to make cricket more exciting than it already is. I even hate that baseball looking game that comes on the back of cheap dartboards. But I'm also not imaginative.
If you made your post sarcastically, then I apologize for the sarchasm (http://tenna10.googlepages.com/newstoamuse2).
He only has so much time. Tracking down some of the APR stuff. Figuring out correlations between stars and actual performance. Trying to identify what x factors lead recruits to be overrated or underrated. Doing this for the competition. There are plenty of things we'd like to know.
....this board reminds me of a high school party in which all the guys are getting hammered waiting for the girls to show up.
Anyone for some Foghat?
1) Somebody was bringing up stumbleupon.com maybe a month ago - I definitely find myself there when I have time to burn.
2) Flickchart.com
3) failblog.org
4) Read the story about how the Taco Bell dog died yesterday and cry your eyes out for the rest of the day.
You should follow the Tigers. It's every bit as agonizing/frustrating as following M football. (My theory is that Tacopants now attends Tiger games and, with his extremely powerful lungs, blows would-be sacrifice flies back into the infield for popups.)
