Are you spying on me right now? |

Goody goody gum-drops! Is that a Sleeman's Honey Brown Lager by the Fender Jazz V? |

Try studying the developmental psychology of the crew that live here. Now that would be fascinating. Or depressing. And maybe not all that different from children. |
|

We're all children, [bx]. Though some of us have responsibilities which we are avoiding. |

What a coincidence! I'm also studying children's developmental psychology. I have spent the last two years with my first subject, and have yet to completely get to the bottom of his conceptual motivation, particularly in regard to repetitve game playing (what does he really mean when he says "Again, Daddy, again"? Does he really want it again? Or is he simply testing me to see if I obey his commands??)
My second test subject is about to join the experiment at the end of March. Hopefully, after about 18 years or so I'll work out where they're coming from... |

Yesterday's (American) football game was actually over in time, but they spent another fifteen minutes saying little more than "St. Louis won, and will play New England next week." The people who care know, the people who really care will get a week's worth of detailed analysis before then, and the people who just wanted to catch the Simpsons (i.e., me) are annoyed. |

IF I watch, it will be for the commercials - same as the year before, the year before that... |
|

Same here, Bookworm. I hate football, and think it's really irritating that something timed to take one hour usually soaks up a whole day, but invariably manages to mangle the one thing I wanted to watch... |

[goff], when you work out where they're coming from you'll stop going there, then they'll stop coming from there. Alternately, you'll start going there in disguise, which should serve the same purpose. |

Anything that makes people *not* miss "The Simpsons" gets my vote. |
|
| |
[UnaBubba], Thanks for the advice. I'm still trying to work out though whether where he's coming from is really where he's coming from, or whether, in fact, he's already in disguise. I think he's laughing behind my back even as I speak... |
|
| |
Sometimes [UnaBubba] is too subtle for his own good. |
|
| |
YES. Excellent idea. I always miss my shows because they're too bloody busy yapping about the game for half an hour after it ends! |
