I'm not even sure why I crawled out of bed today.

	25% (9)	Feh.
	14% (5)	Pthbbt.
	17% (6)	Yech.
	14% (5)	Grr.
	28% (10)	Beer.

Glad to know it's not just me.

I'm just wondering why all these people are voting, rather than contributing to the conversation.

Lazy lazy people.

It's tough to type when you're feeling "Feh".

In Response to zamphir (#17384):

I voted for "Pthbbt" because i am a card-carrying Bill-The-Cat sympathizer. I'm not the laziest... but i am pro-hairball. Where are the Meadow Party Primaries being held this year?

My actual feeling was "bleh," but as that wasn't an option I chose "Feh." "Meh" would have also worked nicely. The F in "feh" just takes an extra muscle movement to put my lip behind my teeth that I just don't feel like bothering with.

In Response to porcupine8 (#17390):

I'm feeling so unmotivated, i almost failed to criticize your dangling preposition. I might be more apathetic, if i weren't so lethargic. Please forgive my indolence.

Finally, someone else agrees with me.

grrrr.

In Response to zamphir (#17392):

No they don't.

In Response to zamphir (#17392):

I voted 'Beer' but meant 'single-malt triple-distilled whisky'. It's hard to pull off a proper depressed funk without good alcohol, and unfortunately we haven't got any.

Someone agrees with my vote, but I'm not sure whether I would get more or fewer people in agreement with me had my actual opinion been an option.

In Response to stilllwaiting (#17394):

grrr.

In Response to Teledildonix (#17388):

The password "Dan Rather is a Turnip" is correct.

Oh, and I just got here, thus it's my first post. In my case, "Yech" was that I have this cold, and I almost threw up all over my keyboard this morning.

In Response to Deathalicious (#17397):

Oh, dear, that would be a terrible way to ruin a Banana Junior 6000.

Sorry you're ill, and i wish for you to be able to take time off, and vegetate. Maybe you could spend some time making offerings in front of the "Exalted One Who Is The Great Computer In The Living Room", as the B Jr 6K used to say.

Hopefully you could put your feet up, get lots of fluids, and let your mind rest at ease. Those are usually my goals, too, now that i think about it.

If I didn't get up this morning, I would have been late to work (if I made it there at all).

If I didn't show up to work, I would risk getting fired.

If I was fired, I wouldn't receive a paycheck.

If I didn't get a paycheck, I couldn't purchases beer (among other things).

QED Beer was my vote.

I voted grrr

I forgot my wensday class was moved to this afternoon, which meant I did not recieve the comments on my paper that I was looking forward to. That, and in a class of 12 people I now look REALLY stupid.

In Response to Dynedain (#17399):

among other things

... like presents for the gf...

oh, wait... that's just more beer.

In Response to sakuruth (#17395):

I voted 'beer' but I meant 'Double vodka, preferably Stolichnaya'. 'Feh' was close, but I think I really wanted 'bleah'.

(Apparently, i feel like an old Schulz cartoon).

In Response to Teledildonix (#17398):

... Those are usually my goals, too, now that i think about it.

I give you +2 virtual mod points. Heh.

In Response to tynic (#17403):

I meant 'Double vodka, preferably Stolichnaya'

mmm.... double vodka, double amaretto...

In Response to Deathalicious (#17397):

That means that both of us that voted 'Yecht' have colds. Luckily mine isn't that bad and I seem to be getting better. I was glad that the long weekend here was rainy and I didn't feel like I was missing out on much by staying in bed.

In Response to jen (#17406):

I also am getting better. I'm going to credit tons of Vitamin C and the three hour nap I took this afternoon. Of course, with all of the work I now need to get done this whole week, additional sleep is out of the question.

In Response to Deathalicious (#17407):

ah.

Back when I was 20 and living in Germany, I used to credit vodka with getting rid of my colds.

There was no point in drinking beer if it couldn't be tasted, and I needed orange juice anyway, so I would have a lot of OJ mixed with a little more than half a bottle of vodka. I figured that the alcohol would kill whatever nasties were making me ill.

By the time the hangover was gone, I would usually have been right.

I never had a cold that lasted more than a day on that system....at least not that I can remember.

In Response to phillip (#17412):

Back when I was living with the drug dealers, one of used the same system for curing his colds and flues and illnesses.

With LSD.

In Response to zamphir (#17413):

but LSD isn't known for its antiseptic properties.

at least not to me.

In Response to phillip (#17414):

The "theory" - and consider the source, please - was that massive quantities (in the 10 dose range) of LSD would pump the metabolism high enough that all the bugs would be burned out of the system.

In Response to zamphir (#17416):

Meanwhile, I'm guessing the user wouldn't be able to discern between the hallucinations brought on by the illness and those brought on by the drugs, and therefore wouldn't complain as much, right?
