Killing Time!

[Dirk Gently]

Is killing time a crime?
How do you do it? (And kill time)


I've just spent an informative while on my local planning office website. Fascinating what on there, including my neighbours plans for his new garden room.

I usually pass the time at work by being on one or another Dr Who/Sci Fi Forums

Seems I have to much time on my hands these day

[Trudi G]

I pass the time writing songs, cleaning, shopping, cooking, going for a look around the shops.....that's when my time isn't taken up with being a mum.

[Pip Madeley]

I spent the best part of two hours in a blind panic yesterday because my back up hard drive with all my important documents wouldn't power up - after phoning the shop I bought it from, and almost phoning Western Digital to ask for a RMA, I eventually discovered that one of the leads had unplugged itself.

That's how I kill time.

[Dirk Gently]

It looks like I'm the only one here at the moment.

Seems like everyone else has more important things than messing about on here.

[WhiteCrow]

Lets face it - we're all just killing time until the day we die!

[shada pavlova]

I kill time by trapping a Chronovore in a crystal, and unleashing it upon history.

The good ol' direct approach.

[Rob McCow]

Lets face it - we're all just killing time until the day we die!

Hurrah for positive thinking.

[WhiteCrow]

Hurrah for positive thinking.

It doesn't have to be negative - it's all about how you embrace that truth.

If you don't embrace it, you're in for quite a shock at some point ...

[Dirk Gently]

I'll be to busy dieing to be shocked.

[Stuart Wallis]

I'm not afraid of dying; I just don't want to be there when it happens.

[WhiteCrow]

Well I'm worried about getting over the shock of being dead.

[Stuart Wallis]

It's not all that bad! you may not get the best seats at sport events, but at least people leave you alone.

One of Spike Milligan's sons asked him when he was little, "Dad, am I dead yet?" Spike answered no. "Good," said his son. Later on, he asked him "Why did you ask me if you were dead?"

And the boy said, "Well when you're dead, you have to go and play in the graveyard."

[WhiteCrow]

You spend life killing time, until time kills you.

[Si Hunt]

Why all this talk of killing? I'm here for the fun of it.

Si.

Presumably after I'm dead? I won't be bothered about it then, because I'll be dead.

I'm going to do some of the things I want to do during my life, because when I'm dead it'll be a bit too late. I won't mind about the things I don't get to do in life though, because I'll be dead.

Well I'm worried about getting over the shock of being dead.

I bet you won't be bothered. In fact, you probably won't mind it at all. Because you'll be dead.

You spend life killing time, until time kills you.

Well, my achievements matter to me while I'm alive, no matter how small they are. Anything that I do while I'm alive will be infinitely more than I'll be able to do when I'm dead.

So if I make someone smile by telling them a joke, then that's a great achievement compared with what I'll be able to do when I'm dead.

If you act badly enough while you're alive, you'll make LOTS of people smile when you are dead.

[Si Hunt]

I like to think I live for the moment. I still worry, and get unhappy, and do things I wish I didn't, but I've fundamentally an unambitious person and I think that helps, because essentially I'm happy with whatever I've got. All I want in life is warmth, good company, good times and nothing to worry about. That makes me happy, and who cares about anything else?

Si.

Death's not the handicap it used to be ...



Pianist Andre Tchaikowsky has starred in Hamlet.

Vincent van Gough, Eva Cassidy, all achieved fame after their death.

Buddy Holly kept releasing new material 10 years after this death.

Elvis is still getting number one singles 30 years on.

Heath Ledger is in the running to win an Oscar.

And of course Jesus is as much in demand as ever he was when he was alive.

[Rob McCow]

Well, Elvis is still alive so he doesn't count.

Of the others lets take the example of Buddy Holly. What do you think the response would be if you asked Buddy Holly what he thought about his new material released after his death? I think the answer you'd get would be a long, long silence.

You see, he doesn't have an opinion on it. He's dead.

Everyone knows that artists only say what their agents tell them to.

But there's always this ...



It's like email for dead people ...

No, that's just one of the best practical joke devices ever. You move it around and make it spell stuff out, and then when the other person asks if you are moving it, you say "no, are you moving it?" Then you ask it how you will be when you die, and you make it say an old age, then you ask it how old your friend will be and make it say how old they are now or will be next year or something. And then you act surpised and shocked...

"Hey Jeff - this dead spirit mispells 'color' the same way you do - creepy!"
