OT-What level of addiction to Mgoblog do you have?
So there are a lot of threads basically polling the Mgocommunity on various topics. Since there is practically nothing exciting going on right now in sports (besides World Cup i suppose), I want to ask a simple question for you due to the fact I visit this site more than any other.
How often in a day do you visit this site? Once in the morning? The afternoon? Anytime you are at a computer? Every couple hours? Every ten minutes?
I would say when I am slow at work I might check in every 20 minutes or so to check for interesting updates on the board or Unverified Voracity (don't tell my boss). On average once every hour or two though. The reason being is that stuff changes on here, at least on the board, so frequently that there are many interesting things to read to pass the time. Just curious as to the levels of addiction to this site that you may have.
of denial.
only, I call it Ohio
....it really depends...oh shit, who I'm kidding? Every 30 seconds. At work.
Sometimes when I'm on the phone with a client, I'll drift off in the conversation because I am checking Josh Furman's high school highlight clips from 2009.
Heroin + Double Stuff Oreos = MgoBlog
My name is Bryan and I have a problem.
HI BRYAN!
I'm Blue in South Bend, and I'm an MGoHolic.
EDIT: beaten to the punch. Well played, Bryan.
Well, I think that Mgopoints can be (but not always) an accurate indicator addiction level.
the love-child of Courtney Love and Robert Downey, Jr...
Yeah, not always. My mgopoints do not accurately reflect the amount of time I spend on this site. If that were the case I'd be in the neighborhood of 80,000 points instead of the 800-900 I have...
Yeah, i would say, on average, I am here 2 hours a day, every day, at least. Via cell phone, via laptop while watching tv, while at work, etc.
I'm just passing through, I mean it. I was googling a cook at Brian's Diner and got here by accident, I swear. And what the heck is a Tacopants, anyway???
I don't have a problem. I can stop anytime I want.
I thought the same thing when I first saw the thread title, but apparently I am not quite addicted enough to have been the first to post it. Yay, me.
See.
MGoBlog=MGoCrack
always up when I am at work! I feel like I may have a problem but have yet to come to terms with it.
Rehab is for quitters!
I realized I had a problem when I got home one night from the bar with my GF. She wanted to "go to bed" and I wanted to MGoBlog.
MGoBlog before Ho's!
"Mgobros before hoes." Why? Because your Mgobros are always there for you. They have got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason. And you are nothing but great to your ho, and you told her that she was the only ho for you, and that she was better than all the other hoes in the world... and then... and then suddenly she's not yo' ho' no mo'.
I did. Now, I have no problems. S'all good.
Laptop on the back? How'd you pull it off?
I dictate while she types on the laptop on my chest. Its a nice system. Effective and very stimulating. Hold that thought . . . . . . . . .
I was thinking you might be doing something that would result in the image of your avatar. Either way, you sir are my hero.
Some fans say they bleed blue. But, if you are a true fan . . . . . . . .
This thread has now gone places that we can't go back from
Cracking up at work!!!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's had that problem.
And by "glad," I mean "horrified." May Bo have mercy on our souls.
If I log off now, I can still accomplish three hours of work.
Well, I'm reading and commenting here in the middle of the afternoon on a work day, so I'd say pretty high.
It was bad during the school year, but since I'm a teacher and it's the summertime, the addiction has gone up about ten notches. Sadly though, it's June right now and I've been on more than I was during the football season. Withdrawal will be brutal...
Chunkums we need to have a talk, it appears to have gotten so bad for you that you don't even know what month it is anymore.
I just got back from 4 sleepless nights in Vegas the other day. I'm in a bit of a confused state right now, and my money apparently went through some kind of black hole.
So you're a teacher who went to Vegas with friends....heard of a movie called The Hangover?
If you didn't come back with a black eye that was given to you by a naked Chinese guy locked in your trunk, I'd say you did OK.
No, but we did have a table next to George St. Pierre and one of his UFC buddies got pissed at me when the security guy kicked him out my seat and told me to sit in it. St. Pierre was the shit though.
At least every two or three minutes. Whether I'm at work or not. 80% of my sentences when talking to my friends begin with "So I saw on MGoBlog..."
I'd ask someone here to help me with my problem, but...
"Junkies make the best counsellors, because, and here's the kicker, they're currently going through it... too."
Don't ever start a conversation with your wife with that statement. It doesn't lead to anything good. Not even if the thread is about how to give your wife multiple orgasms with the iPhone 4.
Now, I'm not saying I did that ... I, uh, heard some guys talking about it in the locker room, once....
I work from home on a laptop and have MGOBLOG open on my home computer all day long. GO BLUE!!
Me too, except my wife's laptop died, and she's been hogging the desktop in my home office. It's OK though, because her new laptop has arrived. If I can just get her to finish setting up and transferring files I'll be back to work on one PC, and MGoBlog / WTKA / iTunes on the other ....
Until you vomit a maize n blue blog. Then you know its serious.
I think my subject line speaks for itself, I refresh the page every minute to see if there is anything new. Maybe I should actually search the internet for new stuff to post?
Well, my computer-illiterate self managed to have MSN come up as the natural homepage, but mgoblog to pop up as a secret second homepage any time I open the internet. Once I see the mgoblog tab in the corner, it's hard not to make a routine check-up.
However the worst level of addiction is described, that's me.
I work in a small office and I just busted out laughing in dead silence because of that picture on the "Blow Stuff Up" thread. Now I laugh again and the office probably thinks I'm drunk.
Bo the cat approves..
So you're like that kid in "Superbad" who would doodle penises all the time except you do Michigan helmets. Wait a minute, those are nothing alike....
