Journal by heliocentric

A simple poll:

I like to watch Jesus Christ jack hammer Mickey Mouse in the doo-doo hole with a lawn dart as Garth Brooks gives birth to something resembling a cheddar cheese log with almonds on Santa Claus's tummy-tum.

  • I watch tv everyday.

    Thank Zool for Tivo.
    • Amen. Commercials and whatnot were slowly driving me away from the tube, but dizzam if tivo doesn't make it all better.

      Lately, though, I've been comparing my tv viewing habits + tivo with my music listening habits + ipod...a period of overload followed by a long, slow tapering off. Sort of the other side of the mountain of pop culture. There's not that many good new bands/tv each year. Once you get caught up to date, you can stagnate for long while. Same thing with the local libary: I've run out of bo
  • Em is bad at following directions.

    I occasionally partake when I have nothing better to do.

    • A for me also. Actually I love watching, but knowing that SW also is watching... that just makes it kinda kinky....

      Maybe SW and I can watch together??


      Yes, I'm pretty much setting myself up for something horrible, but at least I'm taking SW down with me! Muhahaha ;-P
  • Yes
    and I *AM* bad at following instructions.

    I skim read and then post like I know what I am talking about.

    Sorry Helio
  • I like to do it mostly at night. After work I am tired and this helps me to relax. Sometimes I do it in the morning. On occasion I may do it in a store like Walmart or maybe in someone's van if they have the proper devices.

    • me too... though i find it sucks me into its hell when other people in the house turn it on. I'd rather listen to music, surf the web or read a book. Somehow the tv has a narcotic effect on me like I'm some former junkie who can't say no and I get sucked in. I try not to but that damn history channel...

    I hate it with a passion, but do it anyway. Modern gadgets do make it a less bad experience, however - particularly the many automated devices available these days. Some of them even run Linux!

    I used to be all out A, all the time. when I was home, it was on. Now that I've moved out to the middle of nowhere with my fiance, we have better things to do, plus crappy reception. I do still use Netflix.
  • Even though I wish I could answer "No" -- I think that it's just become too much of a routine in my daily life. I'd like to cut back, but the winter months have really given me cabin fever and this is a great way to pass the time.
  • But I am torn. It feels right, sometimes. but occaisionally it leaves me with an empty feeling, and I wonder why I go back. So I swear off of it for periods of time. But then I find that I need to kill some time, and its there, always waiting, always patient. I guess its like McDonalds, not something I am proud of, but something I just do.

  • I don't as much as I used to. I used to start early in the evening and go for so long that I'd fall asleep. Now, I'm lucky to get in an hour a day.

    The problem might be that my and the wife like different things, so if we can't agree, we'll go to separate rooms and be alone. It's not as much fun that way, but at least we both end up satisfied.

    If it's really good, we might even record it so we can watch later. Sometimes we'll invite friends over to watch as well.
  • But not really a no, maybe a strong maybe.

    A) Yes. Sometimes I go several days without it, but thanks to a device that I use, it gets saved up and accumulated. Then I'll binge, wasting a whole evening, doing nothing else.

      I suppose this style of writing would be useful to develop, for sitcom writers. I can imagine plenty of scenes with Jack Tripper, Chrissy Snow, and Mr. Roper, where one of them speaks like this.
  • Oncve upon a time there was a fat and happy troll who lived under a bridge. One day a tanker truck fell on him. The tanker truck was full of marmalade. The ants came and carried him away, and they all lived happily after.

        • Excuse me, but please don't censor yourself. Your cat wipes its nose with kleenex, xeroxes documents, and eats soylent green. "People food" is a wimpy euphemism.
          • ...actually, i had that thought as soon as i posted the comment- that 'people food' was like 'people casserole.' extra points! you're doing pretty well, today... good job!

              • you might also end up being a baron, or a duke, or something- i'm getting ready to post the list! Got a preference? It doesn't exclude you from winning prizes. (Past prizes have included everything from sonnets by yours truly to the tale of how i got kicked out of the girl scouts to inclusion in tales i write... you get a few choices every time i decide you win something.)

  • ... you see, it's a love/hate thing. Bless the German language. It has that vital yes/no hybrid: Jein! (Yes is ja, no is nein, put them together and you get linguistic love). Maybe English could need that as well. Since the obvious yo is already taken I'd have to suggest nes.

    Back to the topic at hand: Just like every responsible person my age I started spending a lot of time in front of it when I was still a little shit. Now I am a big shit and the time has not noticeably shrunk. I am no longer that transf

    • How uncool can I get. Replying to myself and to make matters worth I am about to break the (cue dramatic music) fourth wall!

      After posting my response I went through the things the other participants have posted and have to say one thing: Heliocentric: A trillion billion coolness points* to you if the update of the original question is nothing sexual, but still funny and fitting with all the responses from people who expected it to be. Yeah!

    It's a guily pleasure for me, given that there are so many other forms of entertainment that provide more mental and physical nourishment and are far more interactive. Still, as soon as I get home, I feel the compulsion to turn it on and shut my brain off.
  • Sure, the wide-screen TV in the front room is nice to look at, but with just the blank screen it gets boring after a while.

    Radio is better, of course, since it doesn't matter how BFAA-ugly the receiver is - you don't have to be looking at it to get the radio broadcast. Radio rocks!

  • I saw them once at a concert. Made quite a mess. The elephants didn't appreciate the umbrella that I gave them either, thus the file was truncated.

    To bad the Prime Minister didn't like it either for it made her hair turn green and fall out. It was quite impressive, you should have been there. But anyway, A is the answer and the answer is A.

    I'm happy to see that Answer A caused that rash to go away, it was causing quite a stir at the last Peanut Butter convention I was at. All the participants took
  • I guess I have to say 'A', although with increasing frequency, my wife and I seem to be doing 'B' an awful lot.

    BTW, does this qualify as the Journal Entry version of Mad Libs?

  • No, I don't like doing it, but I seem to do it quite a bit each day. There is just something relaxing about sitting on the couch and letting my brain being controlled by it. I try not to let my kids do it too much because I don't want to cause them damage. I usually make them at least have some sort of educational aspect to it when they are allowed to.

  • When there is nothing better to do.

  • I'm a bit disturbed by the number of A's around here. Even when people chose B, there was still some sort of justification.

    This is so wrong. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

    Just kidding! :^)
  • A) I spend hours and hours per day doing this. Sometimes with my wife, sometimes with my son, and sometimes with the dog. Sometimes I do this with the whole family.

    And now, I suspect the poll will be changed to "do you masturbate".
  • Balling. I'd rather be balling, baby. Preferably with a friend and/or loved one, but by myself is OK, too.
