It’s Sunday morning in my part of the world, I am bored, and I haven’t anything consrtuctive to add (like, when do I ever?..) to the existing threads…yet I can’t seem to stay off the board. It is a quandry for me, to say the least…and you all might simply tell me to ‘shag off’, soooooo…
…how do I shag off (…let me count the ways)? And put some feeling into it 
It is 12:43 Monday morning here.
It is too late to play the pipes, and work beckons in a few hours.
You still have the whole day ahead of you, so shag off and play yer pipes.
Why shag? I mean, have you ever stopped to ask yourself this? Why not try to broaden your outlook? What about a deep pile? A good case of the piles should occupy your attention for a while until you straighten yourself out.
Gee, aren’t I helpful?

Well,.. beats piles
Well, Peter, on the surface I’d agree with you. But maybe Joe’s into something more exotic than a simple shag. Why not go Oriental?

What more proof do you need?:
Heavy Computer Use May Cause Blindness

A word of warning for all those reading this story on the computer…
A new research has found that watching a computer screen for nine or more hours a day may be linked to the development of a progressive eye disease, which, according to a report published in the British Medical Journal, eventually could lead to blindness.
Researchers at the Toho University School of Medicine in Tokyo, found the risk of heavy computer use and glaucoma was particularly strong among those who were short-sighted.
Glaucoma is more common in the elderly, and is characterized by progressive sight defects or visual field abnormalities that develop slowly over time. The exact causes are unknown, but potential risk factors include smoking and high blood pressure.
A link between glaucoma and short sightedness had already been established, but the added ingredient of heavy computer use – while long debated as a possible risk factor for short sight – has not been studied as a link to glaucoma, until now.
‘This is the first evidence of a link between computers and glaucoma,’ David Wright, the chief executive of the International Glaucoma Association in Britain, commented on the study.
‘…the widespread use of computers is at unprecedented levels and it is reasonable to expect some effect on the visual system.’
Wright emphasized that anyone involved in heavy computer use should receive regular comprehensive eye examinations to help detect early possible signs of glaucoma.
The researchers concluded that, ‘Computer stress is reaching higher levels than have ever been experienced before. In the next decade, therefore, it might be important for public health professionals to show more concern about myopia and visual field abnormalities in heavy computers users.’
Get yourself a good set of flat pipes and you’ll not need this forum anymore. 
Instead of “shag off” or “feck off”, I like the classy style of the example of the Almighty when he told two asscap primates to “go forth and multiply”. They never got the real intent, the stupid shites.
Misanthrope? Moi???
No, that would be “Mr Anthrope.”

Yeah, but you see, Royce, I can’t be a drag king. I’ve got those dangly bits and real facial hair. 
Wright emphasized that anyone involved in heavy computer use should receive regular comprehensive eye examinations to help detect early possible signs of glaucoma.
There’s a well-known treatment for this. I call it the “ounce” of prevention, myself.
Boy, I could go for a good berber right now. A shag seems to be out of the question.
Sunday morning shags… This isn’t necessarily a bad thing you know. Boredom is a condition that occurs simply because one is just not in tune with things. Most people go out and do something. For myself, I can see the universe in a booger, in the threads of my underwear, the cosmos unfolding… no need to go out! No time for boredom…
…I hadn’t thought of that yet…THANKS!
But can you see a booger in the universe. That’s observation for you.
Royce
Don’t they make a cream or pill for when the cosmos unfolds in the threads of your underwear? Beano, take it before no unfolded cosmos after.
In light of your question, wouldn’t Beano be considered a form of contraception?
that just made my day…
i hope i remember to tell someone to go forth and multiply… i imagine i’ll get a blank look from them for my trouble. ah well… i’ll think it’s hillarious.
…I hate math…
Man, I had to wipe coffee off of the monitor!
