    this isn't me, but i've been this bored before. i was curious what TFP does when there's nothing to do.
    I'll start: i stumbleupon babes, smoke my pipe, doodle graffiti, daydream about what if my cluttered desk was a tactical battle arena for ant-sized people.

    how about you TFP?

    Masturbate.

    ... Actually, I go fo a bike ride if conditions (daylight, weather, time available) are favorable. Otherwise I read shit online, including here.

    I'd be better off practicing music or reading a book.

    I run my hand along my latex headrest/pillow, stroking it and occasionally giving it a squeeze, but mainly concentrating around a little hard bit, where the spinning' process had not fully taken. I can multitask, therefore I also stare at the wall and during the day, risk overload by mouth-beatboxing middle eastern percussion while whining a tune.

    I'm just going to run with the idea that "unproductive" and "when you're bored" is followed by "while at work."

    Let's see:

    Masturbate (just did that earlier).

    Look up new horror punk bands on YouTube, use DownloadHelper to acquire said videos so I can listen to them over and over (doing that right now).

    Eat things like single serve peanut butter cups and single serve breakfast cereal bowls (have a drawer of snack foods behind me).

    Post shit on TFP that nobody actually reads in the voice it is meant to be read: Cronk (from the Disney's The Emperor's New Groove)

    Grind on my Captains of Crush #1.5 (167.5 lbs) hand exerciser. I can't close it 10 times yet but I'm getting there. #1 (140 lbs.) is for babies.

    I try not to let myself be unproductive (Type A personality, yes, yes I am), but if I have a block of time that I can't do anything good with, I'll plop down for some reality TV.

    Seer666 Getting Tilted

    Well, I used to go out and find ways to just mildly mess with people's heads when I was a younger man, but that takes to much energy for me these days. Mostly I just play video games and look up cool guns I would like to get some day.

    When I'm bored, everything bores me. I'll hang out online for awhile, then I'll flip through all the channels on cable 4 or 5 times, then I'll play XBox til I get killed a couple of times, then I'll try to read but can't concentrate on the pages, then back online, then back to the tv, back online...It usually ends with me taking a nap on the couch.
    Either that or I get in the car and just drive around to nowhere in particular for a couple hours, making some random stops along the way.

    Check out posts written by Plan9 and not post any comments just so he assumes people are not reading his comments.

    You would be mistaken, sir. My default voice for any man of certain physical accomplishments and badassery is Patrick Warburton. See: Brock Samson.

    I usually read food websites or masturbate or post on TFP.

    Prank ideas.... seriously, I'm in the middle of two prank wars and there are rules to be followed that I want to work around....
    Masturbate always wastes a few seconds of my time.....
    Mostly cruise through music on youtube....
    Look up words in the dictionary to improve my vocabulary.... doesn't help...

    Is time on TFP as productive as I think it is? <-rhetorical
