⏱ You know you've been spending too much time on TDWTF when...

You wanna go?!
nah. i'll revert to the fox on 2014.12.26
until then expect daily avatar changes (on work days at least, but probably weekends as well)
-
You have a seriously dysfunctional family.
Either that or you missed the sarcasm. Here's </sarcasm> a close tag for you, gratis. You can figure out where to apply a matching start tag. I'd suggest the address bar of your browser, or possibly taped to your computer.

I got that, but decided to go for the joke anyway. Also, I would say that comment was facetious, rather than sarcastic (as are most "sarcastic" comments here).

The lack of obvious dickweedery seems kind of dickweedy to me. Enjoy your flag.

new pedantry badger?

I think I finally found my first bug!
Notice the missing/not quite hidden dates?

Not yet, according to the badges page. @PJH may be too drunk already to grant.

i'm sorry. run that by me again, it didn't compute the first time.

I'm mobile now, and likely to be so until I reach a laptop tomorrow.
1800 local and I've only had 2 pints of IPA. Not that far gone... yet.
Flag anyway if you want, boomzilla can pick them up as well.

Depends on the type of IPA...

I may have misremembered his office party was today.

I remember mushrooms and snakes, but no foxes.

Cool! Two more for Pedantic Dickweed of the Garter. :)

you know you've speent too much time on TDWTF when you visit a random webpage, see something you want to respond to, highlight it and are confused why there is no quote reply button that pops up.
-
You know you've spent too much time on TDWTF when...
your kids are skipping around the house chanting "Belgium! Belgium! Belgium" and "Daddy is a Belgian!".
-
When you read the word "pendant" but mentally autocorrect it to "pedant"
Sterling silver pedant? TDEMSYR.
-
When you're here, but you're not at work.
-
When you read an interview and come up with a WMG theory that SpectateSwamp was Tommy Wiseau based on speech patterns... http://www.avclub.com/article/tommy-wiseau-ends-lengthy-chat-about-his-new-sitco-213204?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_campaign=LinkPreview:1:Default

When you're reading old threads on usenet and are disappointed about not being able to issue whoosh flags.
-
When you tell a person IRL that something is "pants on head retarded".
Thanks for that one @another_sam. Much appreciated. You Brits are wordsmiths.
-
When you say that a situation at work is belgium-ed because an internal tool is broken.
-
You change your avatar because @abarker put a hat on your current one
Which I'll be doing in a few minutes...
-
When @abarker mocks you with an upside-down hat and you put it on your avatar yourself.
-
■■■■■■■-ed
That wouldn't make sense even our non-internal software is Belgium-ed. Heck we ship it to customers who are Belgium-ed themselves. They pay premium for having Belgium software!
-

That wasn't me!
Edit: It was @hungrier!

"pants on head retarded".
This reminds me of "survival day" at swimming lessons when you brought your clothes into the pool. I remember tying knots in the legs of my jeans and then "inflating" them by, um...sort of swinging them from behind my head and over to get as much air in there for a makeshift flotation device. They never worked very well, so maybe it was retarded.

Can we target @codinghorrorbot yet? cause it sounds like @boomzilla was doing it wrong. I never had a problem getting that to work.

@abarker Is Doing It Wrong™

.... if your jeans were made out of vulcanized rubber that would work..... not so much for cotton.

I remember that also. That was a class period that would have been better served teaching...anything else. Literally anything else.

Works just fine when they're wet.

Could easily be. I mean...it sorta worked. But nothing like a real life preserver. Probably better off just treading water.

Because as we all know, water is watertight
-

I never thought so. I remember a stream of bubbles coming out of them like a freaking aquarium airstone. Yeah, it might get you a small break from treading water, but you have to refill them nearly constantly.
-
.... not for long, and only if they stay wet.....
Well,you are in the water, so keeping them wet should be pretty easy.
Because as we all know, water is watertight
So you have to refill them with air every 20 minutes. BFD. Beats treading water the whole time. And the point is that the water makes the cotton fibers swell so that they fit tighter together, making it harder for air or water to get through.

I never did this class. The closest I ever got was holding my swimming shorts open when jumping in so I could release a load of bubbles and pretend I'd just farted

I did it in scouts. Never actually had a swimming class in school.

I refer you to:
"pants on head retarded"
Edit: In retrospect this post seems a little terse. It was only meant as a joke, as I did the same thing back in the day. ;)
-

Really? I believe we had a good portion of our PE classes as swimming classes. Those became more fun as the girls in our school began to "mature". ;)
-

the feeling is not universal.
not in the slightest.

You realize that you've gone from spending only 30 mins on TDWTF, to spending all day on TDWTF (between productive moments of course)....
Only to also realize that.... you no longer read the articles.
And the articles that you do end up reading, are because the article link post in the forums.
-

Yeah, I hit that point a few months ago. Every other week or so I will go back, read all the prior ones and realize I did not miss out on much...
