etherealdrifter Posted August 13, 2014 Ola fiends, Last week i had to do a spot of nephew/niece minding and the little punks got me watching a show called "One piece". Being incapicitated at the time, i really got in to (what i thought was) this kids show. It deals with a whole gamut of life choice type questions , skillfully displayed through the premise of cartoony , random goodness. Anyway, i become totally absorbed with this stupid animation series about a kid pirate and his adventures -to the point of the kids started murmuring about how uncle has gone off his rocker - dem dar kiddies*shakes fist with one hand and rattles walking stick with the other . So in true random style of thoughts entering your sub conscious when you least expect it, i pondered what some members here(being the weird and wonderfully different mob yous are) have been taking up as new addictions. ?? so if you care to share i ask thee this, what new addiction has taken hold in your life.

Anodyne Posted August 13, 2014 I've been reinfected by mass media by a certain clicky member's contributions on my favourite site. For years now I've resisted watching a news show or picking up a newspaper, but I just can't help myself, when I see the thread title I have to read it. And then the real trouble begins, because once I've read it, I start *thinking* about it, and writing replies. And it's just all downhill from there really. I'll end up buying a TV just so I can shout at it, or responding to YouTube comments. I am giving an advanced medical directive now with y'all as my witnesses, if I'm ever that badly off, you have permission to put me down. For now, I might just block those posts for a few weeks and see if it clears up on its own. And pursue some healthier addiction - I hear heroin is nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
etherealdrifter Posted August 13, 2014 fark thats terrible terry........my brother wants me to put him down too, must be that ebola thingy or something. i says to him"hey, if you want me to put you down . maybe you have the onset of alzheimers zombieddarwinism or something? he says"just shoot me already" actually i do remember about that horse but thats one i'm never gunna ride again. anyone taken up a spot of stripping per chance?

Anodyne Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Never fear, I'm pursuing something healthier yet...With the imminent zombiebola apocalypse, I decided on the weekend that this might be a good opportunity to develop my knife-throwing skills, which at the moment are non-existent. So... to the YouTube! Half an hour later, I have learned the difference between spin & no-spin techniques, and decided that Xolette must be the cutest thing to have popped out of a woman's vagina since they invented Hello Kitty ping-pong balls. Hang on, there was supoosed something about knives in here somewhere... After watching some less attractive instructors, I also learn that screwdrivers can work just as well as knives for "no-spin", and figuring that that's one less sharp surface per weapon to injure myself on, go outside to put this to the test. Results: knife or screwdriver, doesn't really matter, I could hurt myself throwing a shoe. I may have to stick to melee weapons in the coming disorder. And chesh, you gotta think of the members you don't want to see stripping before you go opening that door... Edited August 13, 2014 by Anodyne 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogfrog Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Qi gong! I was hooked from my first experience, and this new 'addiction' has so lovingly begun rewiring my perceptions that several other addictions have since faded in significance. The other biggie is this French supernatural drama 'Les Revenats' .... It's just too awesome. So spooky and classy and full of surprises. I churned through the first season in a matter of days and am now experiencing withdrawals, the lingering melodies of the soundtrack by Mogwai haunt me on the edge of sleep. Bring on season 2! .. I have also grown rather fond of astrology, lately I've quite often been aware of certain emotional influxes and then looked up the astrological positions and the corresponding influences and found that everything I have been experiencing is succinctly described and explained.

FancyPants Posted August 14, 2014 About two weeks ago I finally had my backyard landscaped so that the cats can go outside along with bunny Ginger. Peanut the black female wouldn't have been on grass since she was about 5 weeks old (she's now a bit over 2yrs old), and Sebastian - "Basi" - hasn't been on grass for the same amount of time when he was about 4 months old. It's been AWESOME finally being able to let them out and have my deck and yard done (I've been in my new house for nearly a year) and can restart a garden again. In such an overcrowded new housing estate (there are SEVEN houses which can see into my backyard!!!), getting some privacy for my little garden sanctuary has felt soooo good and even my partner is getting into getting his hands dirty (a green thumb he aint lol) has been enjoyable. The yard's been getting a lot of direct sunlight most of the day and not much wind. So yeah... my latest addiction is transforming what was a shitty little patio and a half dead dried turf tinpot yard, into my Magic Garden to share it with my partner and the bubbas I think a green shade cloth lean-to around the kitchen window side with a small rocky koi pond will just top it off. This video was taken last week before we stuck a heap of anti bird-spikes along the fence tops to keep Peanut from climbing out. We're in the process of putting wire around the plants next to the fence so that Ginger doesn't keep eating them! Gotta protect the chew-rat from eating the brug, acacias, poppies , chacruna and ayas! While I'm obsessing over the bubbas, here's a couple more videos... Ginger's only around 3 months old here, she's such a cheeky sweetheart This was during summer when I shaved the cats lol. Peanut and Ginger having their first one-on-one play. Ginger is absolutely fearless lol. The first night we got her she was falling asleep on our laps and dream twitching. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FancyPants Posted August 14, 2014 Animals are heaps better than people, including myself lol, they're absolutely amazing, and the cats were rescues. And I couldn't ever bear shaving their tails, but they look even funnier when I do a shithouse shaving job. Peanut actually gets off on the buzz of the electric shaver! My bubbas are an absolute n-loop of happiness for me It was imperative that they be allowed to have access outside without running amok in the neighbourhood or being injured - Basi would roll over in front of a moving car, Peanut would try to fight one... They're all so hilarious :D Also those pole dancers are amazing! Especially that Ukrainian lady, look up her dancing to Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
