What would u do -when bored??

[Lakshmipathi]

Hi,
I'm bored ..i want to know what the other linux guyz do
when you got bored .

[fingal]

I go for a walk ... it works quite well. Or I play around with my computer ... play the guitar a bit (I have an Ibanez Gio and a small Marshall practice amp ... It sounds raw).

As a last resort I'll go to my local pub and drink a few pints of beer. I like chatting to barmaids.

If you are a barmaid and you read this, my phone number is ....

::Edit:: This might sound really prissy, but I don't advise drinking if you're bored. You'll end up in a bar somewhere surrounding by bored drunks. Sad but true. The bar staff will also be bored.

If I'm bored at work I fire up a couple Linux games or browse the web. Sometimes I also go for a walk and talk to people.

At home, if I'm bored I go for a drive, watch a movie, play video games, or get slammed at the local bar.

Pretty pathetic, I know!

It depends on the day of the week. On the weekend I'm usually with my girlfriend. During the week if I'm bored I usually play videogames, rant about a distribution, or draw a comic. Lately it's been more of number 1 and none of 2 and 3. I blame Zelda and Super Monkey Ball for that.

No-ooooo not pathetic at all. I forgot about watching a film or two. Love doing that.

Another good cure for boredom ... Sleeping!

I've had chats on IRC channels - and they really can be sad - like this:

xSarah2006x: "I'm bored"
Luke666: "So am I!"
ErikTheDweeb: "Me too ..."
Emma: "Would anyone like to chat?"
xSarah2006x: "I'm bored"
* fingal sighs deeply
SuperCyberGuy: "I want to sacrifice a small goat? Are you into leather?"
Luke666: "You people are soooooo boring."
Emma: "I'm new here. Is anyone friendly?"

etc ... I usually counter by talking to the 'Emmas' of this world. Usually though, she catches the disease:

Emma: "I'm new here. You're all boring!"

Indeed. The one time I got on the #linuxforums IRC (yes, I did get on once) there was very little going on. Well, other than the fact that everyone was shocked I got on there... and then didn't believe I was really me. One person even made some Peter Pan reference I found amusing. Let me see if I can remember it:

"Holy crap! The Moe gets on IRC?"

The Moe... you know, like The Pan, minus the swashbuckling and fairy dust.

Workout
Go to the booty club, drink beer look at nekkid women.

Yeah ... I've had similar experiences. I've been on #linuxforums IRC a few times and no-one knows who the heck I am (apart from onlinebacon) ... I had one really good chat about music from someone in the States. Apart from that it's like a club for people who won't speak, can't speak etc ...

I used to go for a motorcycle ride... until I crashed my motorcycle. *sigh*
