connoisseur series500 Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 I will look at magazines, but lately I just grab a chessbook and open it to some diagram and try to predict the next move. I find that very helpful as far as, er, relaxation is concerned. I also will grab my copy of AMG or Penguin and just flip through it. That's kind of fun. I don't read novels or any thick nonfiction. Secret is not to get so involved that you end up placing the book on the sink and reading it while standing up and the toilet has already been flushed. Your wife thinks you're still in there doing your business when actually you're just reading! Quote
RonF Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 Conn, old buddy. I don't know what to say. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Posted September 24, 2003 Conn, old buddy. I don't know what to say. Aw c'mon Ron. I thought you were going to join in on this wonderful philosophical topic. Don't tell me you just head out into the woods and view the stars! Quote
wolff Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 Sitting on the can too long gives me hemroids, so I do not read anything. Quote
kenny weir Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 Some Kiwi humour ... I have no idea if the following story is true, but it's become part of the Weir family lore. Many, many years ago, my now deceased dad and some of his buddies were out in the wop wops (that's boonies to you) on a shooting trip. I hesitate to use the word hunting, as all they were probably after were rabbits and/or wild goats. Anyways ... one member of the party decided he needed a good, long private crap, so retired to some nearby bushes to do his thing in peace. No sooner had he departed, than my dad crept up behind him - with a shovel. When the poor guy followed that fundamental human instinct, and turned 'round to examine his doings - THERE WAS NOTHING THERE! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Posted September 24, 2003 When the poor guy followed that fundamental human instinct, and turned 'round to examine his doings - THERE WAS NOTHING THERE! I get a whole lot of reading accomplished when that happens! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 Hey Conn500, are you aware of this recent AAJ thread?? Contest: Poor Topic Ideas Quote
BERIGAN Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 I've been reading War and Peace for the last 28 years in the bathroom! Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, worlds Records catalogs....all great ideas! Quote
Harold_Z Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 All in all, I think this subject STINKS. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 ... and try to predict the next move. I usually grunt to predict the next move! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 I don't read on the toilet; I grab my electronic "Battleship" game, and er....start sinking things. Quote
catesta Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) I just try and take care of business, but I will read a newspaper, auto trader, the Fantasy catalogue, or liner notes. Edited September 24, 2003 by catesta Quote
Templejazz Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 I just try and take care of business, but I will read a newspaper, auto trader, the Fantasy catalogue, or liner notes. Huh-Huhhh LOG I'm with ya Catesta on the Fantasy catalogue deal. I dog-ear the hell out of pages of stuff I wanna get when I'm on the throne. Quote
catesta Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 My wife used to get pissed at me for keeping copies of the big Fantasy book in each bathroom. It is by far the best reader for me. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Posted September 24, 2003 Hey Conn500, are you aware of this recent AAJ thread?? Contest: Poor Topic Ideas Great way to advertise the board, Rooster!! I highly approve. Actually, a lot of those silly thread topics were started by me. But I'm not the only one! Thank God I don't spend time on that uptight board. B) I mean, how can you pick on such a wonderful topic as "How many OBI strips do you have?" It's a wonderful topic idea. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Posted September 24, 2003 I don't read on the toilet; I grab my electronic "Battleship" game, and er....start sinking things. Moose has been out of the navy for too long. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Posted September 24, 2003 This morning I grabbed the newspaper; didn't quite complete the obituary section Quote
Parkertown Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) I've never quite understood this practice. I head for the bathroom, WHEN I'm ready to go. I take care of business, and I'm outta there. It's not like I have to coax it out... you know "Please come out of my butt"! Oh, and I cannot believe we're discussing this...are you guy's bored, OR WHAT!?! Edited September 24, 2003 by Parkertown Quote
Noj Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 from BLAMMO! Classic! It's lo-og, lo-og! It's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's lo-og, lo-og! It's better than bad, it's good! Quote
Matthew Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 I always thought we knew our shit here Quote
Free For All Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 Since we seem to be getting in deep here, how about some metaphors for the act? "Dropping the kids off at the pool" "Launching a sea pickle" OK. I've officially hit bottom. Quote

"Dropping the kids off at the pool" "Launching a sea pickle" OK. I've officially hit bottom. Okay, that does it guys! Let us now go back to the high tone and urbanity which was originally expressed with the start up question on this thread: exactly what do you read while dropping your kids off at the pool? Quote
