Be as boring as possible.

Hmm...black pants or navy pants? Of course I haven't worn the brown ones in a while but they need ironing
 
I sometimes amuse myself by seeing how high I can count, while a friend keeps score.

Yes. It is fascinating, in a way. I won't deny it. There is a "tense moment" - a "small thrill" if you will, when one approaches a number divisible by 100. When it passes, that shared sense of mutual accomplishment washes over the windowless, beige room furnished with only a card table and two metal folding chairs.

1. Is there a scoreboard involved? Or does your friend simply keep score on his fingers?

2. Do you wear helmets?

3. How many points do you score for each number you count? Just curious.

I swear I'm not the slightest bit bored by this.

If you take the pants out of the dryer the very instant the dryer stops running and smooth them out nicely, they won't need to be ironed. This is my mother talking, not me. I'm not that naggy.

I almost fell asleep when I read the word beige. That has to be one of the most boring words ever however the folding chairs part woke me up as I had visuals of a World Counting Champs kinda run along the same lines as wrestling. You could have Countermania and a Counter Rumble ohhh the possibilities are endless.

Ummm would you compete in a pair of green budgie smugglers like what Randy Orten wears? I am sure us females would be glued to the TV watching that :p
 
That would be Stone Pie, right?

Yup, and when made properly this dessert is described as hard as a rock.


Who is up for gluing macaroni to cardboard right now?

You know, when making a macaroni snowman, people should forgo the typical yarn scarf and just use farfalle, as it just finishes the more formal look that the top hat suggests I think.

A macaroni snowman? That's brilliant! I had just been gluing straight spaghetti noodles in a straight line.

Trust me. It's boring, alright. Dammit, it is. Okay, it's not. It's fascinating. Engaging. Captivating.

1. No. And no. There is newsprint on long rolls, and small pencils for making hash marks.

2. My state is a crazy-ass no-counting-helmet-libertarian state. I choose to wear one, as does my scorekeeper, and it's saved our asses any number of times. I bent over last week and banged my "head" into the card table. I sat out, because we aren't taking concussion chances (not like the old days) but I felt good. Solid in the knowledge that we'd be okay.

3. We go by the NCF rules, which dictate a 1-1 count (obviously, we observe the penalty counts, sudden death, the Tannen rule, etc.). I have friends who are into ACL, but while it is exciting in a way, I'm a purist.

Check out some of the fantasy counting leagues for a good time, and to meet fellow "countheads."

Chaingun is the king of beige. He used it in several posts, and I realized, hey, this guy knows boring. I would say it screams boring, but that would be exciting; it mutters boring under it's breath in a monotone.

The World Counting Championships are in Auckland in 2014, and you have your tickets already if you were lucky enough to be chosen in the national lottery. Countermania? Hah! Now you are simply being silly. There is no such thing, and don't demean counting just because you don't understand it. It deserves to be taken seriously, and there is a distinct possibility we may have a shot at one of the 2020 Olympic exhibition sport slots, along with chalk, and mulching. Write the IOC.

I was not familiar with budgie smugglers, but I believe the budgies would throw a paddy and start whinging when their worlds turn to custard.

Well I, for one, wish you the best. I hope it goes international and ends up on ESPN because it sounds like the perfect background for a nice couch nap on a Sunday. Better than golf.

What is the battle cry for Number Counting, by the way? I'd like to be prepared as a spectator (err...napper) for the 2020 Olympics.

I am not sure of the 2020 Olympics war cry but the buzz in the coed sports village is likely to be

Deeper,harder faster

&

Thicker,bigger ,rougher
or

Slicker, wetter ,yummier

Well, I do work in a paint store.

It's kind of my thing. If I was to say "Chartreuse" or "Aquamarine," several of you might pass out.

The battle cry would be barely audible breathing, and an occasional sniff. So stirring.

Stop this...

mmm.. say chartreuse again, slowly... :devil::rolleyes:

Immediately.
 
I started playing Farmville again tonight after several years away.
 
I took the same route to the grocery store I always take. I think sometimes about going a different way.
