What political party do you vote for?

or, if you are too lazy too vote but were forced to, would it be the NDP?

Sometimes when i'm really burnt out I'll stay in the house without even sticking my nose outside for like three days. What's the longest you've gone?

I could probably be a full time slacker if it weren't for that stupid guilt. Do you ever get guilt trips for being a slacker?

What do you vision being the ultimate job?

What would you do if you won $1,000,000. ?

Have you ever resorted to wearing your girlfriends clothes because you can't stand the stench of your own?

Have you ever eaten KD from something other than a bowl, plate or pot?

Do you have a laptop so you can be completely horizontal while surfing CP and watching TV at the same time?

This whole slacking thing is soooo intriguing! I think I found my new CP hero! (Don't tell my husband!)
I should have to stick to a budget while slacking, but if I did that, it would require mental stimulation. So, I just spend until I go broke. My girlfriend can't just let me starve, so I then eat food she buys. The system works pretty good.

Oh, and there's no way I try to get out at least once a day. I can stay indoors for days at a time, although sometimes I have to run across the street for coke and/or snacks. I hate having to do that. I've contemplated ordering delivery for a Quiznos that is located right across from the building here.

Fellow CP users are my only friends, and mainly, it's because I have a laptop. They are the easiest friends to interact with - no work! Sometimes I watch TV, have a game going on the PC, and my laptop open to CP. All at the same time. Although, recently, my PC has stopped working because I took the processor out and forgot to add any thermal gel... and I'm too lazy to go get any more of it.

I don't vote. If I had to, I'd just vote for the party that had the first initial of the first letter of the first word on the ballot.

That's great! The longest I've gone... Probably longer than 3 days, but it's tough. I've gone longer BEFORE I had a girlfriend. It was more guilt free, then. Now, like you, I do feel guilt sometimes, but then I just bury it down with all the rest of it that I have stored and collected in my subconscious.

I've done many different types of jobs, none of them ultimate. If I had to choose an ultimate... It'd be to actually get paid to click banners like those websites say you can. That's be great, if only they didn't pay you .50 cents for clicking all day.

I'd retire if I had a million.

So, I've been thinking lately, as I laze about, about the Holy Grail. How can we, as humans, live forever? Scientists are always looking for ways to prolong our life, but I think I've actually figured it out. It came to me during a Seinfeld episode, and it makes perfect sense.

We stay up all day, but we sleep during the night. Say, you get 6 hours of sleep each night. So, that's 6 hours of sleeping per 365 days a year, which amounts to 2190 hours of being asleep! That is 91.25 days you are missing while asleep! If you could cut that out all year, you COULD be living a 456.25 day year, while everyone else lives a 365 day year. That's ridiculous! I'm 24 years old right now. If I had been staying awake since birth, I would really have been alive for 30 years right now, while still only being 24 years old. I would have added 6 years to my life cycle already!!

But, let's be realistic here. No one, at this stage, can stay awake all night, every night. You just can't do it. So, let's say, you cut your sleep back to 3 hours per night, okay. That gives you 1095 extra hours of being awake per year. That's an extra 46 days of being awake and living, while everyone else sleeps. You could live a year of over 13 months, while everyone else lives a year of 12 months.

What I'm getting at is that, instead of looking for some gene or something, just look at finding out a way to sleep less. This is what they should be trying to find out. We could be living years, upon years, longer!

Here's a quick and easy test for you to do at home to prove my theory. When the weekend comes, stay up all night on Saturday. Instead of a 2 day weekend, it turns into a 3 day weekend. No need to skip work on Monday.

For someone who is a supposed "slacking bum" you contribute on CP quite often when you could just lurk. Typing is a lot of work.

Also, I find it quite disturbing that you equate being stripped down to your waist eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery as some form of a bachelor paradise.

I don't. I consider being stripped down PAST your waist eating a circular block of cheese the size of a car battery as a bachelor paradise.

How many times a day do you do this:
Stretch with your arms way over your head, while yawning and then scratch your bum?

Hows that even possible unless your head and bum have changed places.

A skill that certainly wouldn't be handy in prison.

I'm sorry. I must have missed them. The answers are fairly simple, though.

No, I have never worn my girlfriend's clothes. Well, except for one pair of her pants to see how my ass would look in them. The stench of my own clothes doesn't bother me, so I see no need to wear others.

And I have eaten KD from something other than a bowl, plate, or a pot! I've eaten it from those little plastic containers that the small one serving microwavable KD meals come in.

That's a trick question. Most of those aren't actually cheeses. They're special laboratory formulations.

If you got rid of corners, wouldn't it make Regher less effective?

As for the slacker part, I assume that you are now broke (or at least poor). I remember that when I was poor (university days) I kind of enjoyed it because it was way easier to be righteous when you only had enough money to eat (and barely at that). My question is are you more righteous now? If not, why?

Obviously you would have to scratch your bum after you are done stretching. I didn't think i'd have to explain.
