Oh, and right now, I am walking around my apartment in my shoes
Also, I am not teaching. Haven't been working for over a month and don't plan on working till I go home in August. I won't even teach for one hour a day in the morning...that would mean I would have to get up before 12:30pm. Can't teach in the afternoon because I'm swamped with my coffee/reading/napping time. And I refuse to teach at any hour during the evening because that just interferes with movie time. |

Dang Polychornic..... really over doing it are you..
Remember three rules to proper slacking...
Wear clothes that can be used for bedtime wear and out of doors wear ie. sweat pants and t-shirts.
Never ever use a glass, always drink out of the carton.
Last the most important... oh lord... this is sad because it requires effort... but the intial installment is repaided ten fold by the long term results.
Move your phone near the couch so you can easily order carry out food. Make sure your window is open, and after the chap delivers eat what you want and hurl the rest out the open window. This can all be accomplished with out getting up. |

PCTG, when the hagwons call you and ask you to teach, don't just tell them you can't be bothered. Tell them you might, but the money's just not good enough. They'll ask how much you want, but don't be specific. Tell them to give you their best offer, and then say you'll have to think about it for a day or two. Just keep bidding them up, and then drop them. Or hand the job over to a friend. Either way, much funny!!!  |

Hee, hee. I though maybe if time becomes too idle (you know what they say about the devil and idle hands), I would go to interviews to hagwons that I know are really bad, just so I can give them crap and laugh at their contract. Or I can go to an interview to desperate hagwons, dressed like a bag lady, pick my nose, and mutter things about Satan, just to test to see if they would STILL offer me a contract.

Quit loafing around and start making some babies, girl.

Another confession:
I love my wife dearly, she's my strength, my soul, my happiness. She completes me. Yet I'm always tempted to strangle her whenever I hear her chatting on the phone.
I'm not alone on this, am I?

I went to Catholic school. My friend and I decided to make cookies for our high school Morality class, and upon opening the bag of flour, we discovered the bag to be mildly infested with mealy worms, or whatever that insect is that likes to crawl around in bags of flour. We made the cookies anyway, and could barely stifle our laughter when our classmates commented how good the cookies were. |

In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog...When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out...But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life. |

No way!!! That's TOTALLY awesome. You should date Paris Hilton. You guys would be a good team. My vote for post of the week. reminds me of the pie-eating contest story from Stephen King's "Stand By Me". Classic. |

Me Bad:
Once, while spending a depressing summer without a holiday, I took to wearing a sling on one arm whenever I had to ride the subway. There were just too many people crashing into me rudely, and I'd just been recovering from other, less noticeable injuries....
But when people rudely bump into you and you have a sling on, hey, you can curse at them all you want, and everyone in the subway car looks at you sympathetically.
The other nasty thing was when I was abroad with a Korean friend who just happened to "turn up" at the same place where I was, at the same time. Needless to say, she totally cramped my style. Once when I noticed that her eyebrow pencil had fallen out of her purse in the bar, I discreetly kicked it out of sight. She was eyebrowless for the rest of the week! Mouhahahah.

I've no doubt that she totally cramped your style, since you just told us. But why would that be "needless" to say? How would we have known if you hadn't?

Now admit it, that was just petty of you. (And I love it!!!) So she walked around for a week without "eyebrows"? Women are just freaky, the things they do to themselves. Anyway, where were the two of you? Trapped on some deserted island without a cosmetics shop to its name? And where did Ginger get all her costmetics? Was the Professor making it out of native plants and minerals, and then doling it out to her in return for... makeup tips?
Apart from Billybrobby, most of what I'm seeing here are cases where people are being bad for a reason (however flimsy), and I can just see you all at the Pearly Gates doing your little song & dance for St. Peter, trying to convince him there were mitigating circumstances, that your victim(s) had it coming, that your misdeeds were partly excusable. 'Please believe me, I stole that loaf of bread because my babies were hungry! ' Blehhh. If it were up to me, I'd stick you all in a custom-made Hell just for boring people with ready excuses for being boring.
What this thread should be about are the things you've done for no good rhyme or reason. If you can justify it in any way, then screw it -- it doesn't count and we don't want to hear.
For me, if someone does me down or tries to, then it's action-reaction. No need for wondering or worrying. I'll be coming and you'll probably see me coming. Set you clocks by it. But it's the people who haven't done anything, who don't know me, the absolute strangers. They're the ones who really have to keep their wits about them. Because you'll be walking along minding your own business and suddenly BAM!!! Some ajuma steps out of the crowd and body-checks you, sending your ice cream cone face first onto the pavement. Or you'll be coming home from dinner with friends and some vile geezer in a stairwell whips it out and diddles himself in front of you. Or they put sweetcorn on your pizza after repeated promises not to. Shop assistants who overestimate your girth and giggle, employers who stiff you on severance, bus drivers who skip your stop, waiters who frown, scooterboys who nearly take your leg off, and all the rest.
Seemingly random assaults that occur countless times each day in this jostling, bustling city of 12 million, right? Guess again. My minions are legion, and their unionised. I control the water pressure and have done since 1999. That's my confession. So what's yours? |

I always mix work and pleasure.
Last night I had five white Russians, three black Russians, a couple of Beefeaters, Captain Morgan and Tom Collins. A man also offered me a Slippery Nipple, but I was already halfway through a Screaming Orgasm, so had to decline his offer. If that man was you (I suspect is was that crafty devil Eunoia), then I'll see you tonight behind the kimchi pot, at the agreed time. |
