THE MUD'S DOWN AND I AM VERY BLOODY BORED.

I'm bouncing around in my seat. I WANT TO THROW DEADLY TAROT CARDS AT THINGS AND WATCH THEM GO AAAH AND DIE.

Help.
Help.
Help.

Please post something entertaining GOING MAD.

*gives Mnemosyne some cookies, post-it notes and crayons* See what you can make of those, okee?

Here is a list of things you can do while waiting for the mud to come back up.

1) Get something to eat/drink.
2) Have a shower.
3) Watch TV.
4) Play something else, like Morrowind.
5) Play another mud.
6) Flick through these forums.
7) Write an entertaining novel about a fish and his journey through life.
8) Become leader of an underground religion and lead all your followers to their deaths.
9) Tie a piece of paper to your ankle and run after a chicken. Then tie the piece of paper to the chicken.
10) Disguise yourself as a tree and scare small children in the park.
11) Design a braille keyboard and monitor for blind people.
12) Make love with as many people as possible.
12) Roll a dice until it lands on the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in sucession.
13) Write a letter/email to a friend.
14) Visit a sick relative.
15) Go shopping.
16) Paint a picture.
17) Learn to kickbox.
18) Improve your typing skills.
19) Create a computer game from scratch.
20) Write a hopelessly long list of things you can do while you wait for the MUD to come back up.

That should keep you occupied.

Look for WIERD things on the web!!  
For example:

http://lukepl.8m.com/corbin.jpg
The above link will show you a picture of:
The four legged woman had a malformed siamese twin, which meant she was left with two pairs of legs and two vaginas from which she gave birth to five children, 3 from her body and two from her twins. Billed as the Four-Legged woman form Texas, Myrtle used to gallop across the stage like a horse and was a very popular freak in the early 1900's for her horrific deformities.

Another:

Dunno, I think it's creepy too.

That's just in a couple minutes of poking around... there's all sorts of strange things to look at on the web... and makes the time pass.

Good luck!  Hope they reinsert your IV soon!!!

Just for the sake of fun, I'm going to disagree with everything you say.

1) I'm not hungry
2) I took one this morning
3) There's nothing on
4) Morrowind is great and all, but the loading times are bad.
5) Another mud? Are you completely nutty? The admins are watching me...
6) Hmm, hmm...useless poll, done!
7) Darn, you got me, that's a REALLY GOOD idea!
8) Ooh, sounds fun, but what if they see what you're planning?
9) I don't have access to chickens
10) Aren't trees kind of...big, and small trees kind of...skinny?
11) Wow, um, I don't think that's possible
12) No
12) Borrring
13) I'd rather IM them, and if they're not on, screw it.
14) And leave the computer? What if the mud comes back up?
15) See 14
16) That's rather general, and I have nothing to paint with\on
17) What if I mud at midnight?
18) They're good enough if I care this much about a mud being down.
19) ...Done. Want to play now...? Uh, you win!
20) *erases the copyright from your list and writes 'Wenlin'

[Santrilla]

Oh, so we're playing that game are we?

1) Then get a drink.
2) Have another.
3) Then get a video or something.
4) Upgrade your computer so that it can handle Morrowind better.
5) Make up a new character and start afresh
6) You could always make your own post and wait for witty replies...
7) Yeah, I thought that one sounded good too. I've already written the first two chapters.
8) Ahh, but they'll never find out, because if you suspect anyone of knowing your plans, you sacrifice them to the almighty fish god!
9) It doesn't have to be a chicken. It could be a cat or something.
10) Yeah, you're right. That one doesn't work.
11) The keyboard is possible- if they're touch typists they don't need the letters anyway. The monitor, maybe not.
12) Oh, go on.
12) I admit, that one is kind of dull.
13) So make new friends who ARE online, and then IM them.
14) By the time you get back, the MUD will be back on.
15) See above
16) Alright... paint a picture of your mud, then transfer it into ASCII art and submit it to the admin of that mud to be put on the front page.
17) You can kickbox at night. Believe me.
18) You can never be too good at typing...
19) Try again, and this time make it more challenging.
20) Oi! Give me back my copyright!

Incidentally, I noticed there are two 12)s in this list. What's a man to do?
