5 COOL THINGS… to Distract You ’til Christmas
It’s here again… that period of time that falls after Thanksgiving but before whatever your particular religious and/or secular December-ish holiday* might be. Not sure about you, but we are whiling away the hours, pretending to be busy at work (carry a clipboard and walk at a brisk pace — everyone looks important with a clipboard). Here are our suggestions of 5 fun ways to waste your days while you wait for the elusive December 23rd:
* Our lawyers tell us that’s how to say “CHRISTMAS”.
1. learn how to make _________
Learn how to make anything at instructables.com. Whip up a paper rose while sitting at your desk or make whatever THIS is.
2. relive high school
Play MASH! Mansion-Apartment-Shack-or-House… did your high school predictions come true? (If someone out there is living in a mansion with a circa ‘87 Kirk Cameron, driving a Ferrari, well let’s just say you stole my dream life). In a post-housing crisis world, this game seems slightly dated. Maybe we should update it to: Condo-Apartment-Shacklike Apartment-Shack?
3. bowse bad art
Get lost in the Museum of Bad Art. Because nothing is funnier than serious pet portraits.
4. get gif-crazy
Give our fave film tumblr a tumble! lawyerupasshole posts snippets of movies in gif form.
5. try to answer an impossible question
HERE! (make sure your sound is on)
Now get back to work, you’ve got a lot of messing around on the internet to do!
