I was contemplating just going around and gathering humorous reactions to the OSBP (which at this point has neither a Wiki page nor a fandom Wank listing, for shame!*), but that's annoyingly close to actual work, and you probably also have a dozen people on your fl who have already done that.

We've been moved around at work, so I'm getting used to my new desk. They keyboard is hinky (shift key angering me), but the armrest on the keyboard is better, since it is not openned and exposing me to sticky stuff at every opportunity.

I gathered up my courage to the sticking place and tried the scale in the changeroom and have found that I have lost 7.5 pounds, which I guess is good. I'm not looking for dramatic results or anything, although I'd like to be able to do as much with a shoulder press as the incline, unless that's impossible.

Today is NCBD, but I got no notifications, which means that either I have nothing today or the Facebook utility that sends me notifications has decided not to work.

I wish my FLCS would do an email notification, but that requires either lots of work or a highly sophisicated program.

*edit: Although Unfunny business does have a very in depth post, thanks to meallanmouse for the heads up for that.

Hadn't heard of that actually - guess I'm hanging out in the wrong sorts of places. I think a good related project might be the OBPG (One Breast Per Geek) project. (Note that the tongue is firmly in the cheek for the humour-impaired, since some people can't recognize humour if it bites them on the ass.)

To reply to my own comment, having read some more of the postings about the OSBP, it does seem to be an interesting concept in theory, but in practice, with the state of the world being the way it is today, not such a good idea. I would suggest that anyone who really wants to "touch boobies" look into something like this (http://todgertalk.blogspot.com/2008/04/sex-toy-review-jenna-perfect-pair.html) instead. Or, you know, get a life.

I'm fairly certain clicking on that link will get me fired.

It's amusing how little he seemed to have thought it through when he posted that.

It's like he hadn't come down from the ecstasy when he posted the plan for world peace they'd worked out at the rave.

[absinthe-dot-ca.livejournal.com]

The link itself might not get you fired, but it in turn links to another one that more likely will.

[anidada.livejournal.com]

And by humourous you mean...?

[thebitterguy]

Amusing. Funny. Well written. Taking the piss out of in ingenious ways.

edit: and, hey, 7.5 pounds! Isn't that awesome?

Why doesn't anyone want to talk about that?

[anidada.livejournal.com]

Taking the piss out of the original culprit, you mean?

It hurts that you have to ask.

[thebitterguy]

Well, yeah.

Way to go, by the way!

[absinthe-dot-ca.livejournal.com]

7.5 pounds isn't a miracle, but it's a good solid weight loss that can't be chalked up to "just water weight". Actually, if you've been working out hard you may have lost even more, as the muscle you'd have built weighs more than the fat you've lost.

Re: Way to go, by the way!

[thebitterguy]

I'm pretty sure there's muscle being built. I can feel a difference in the shoulders and arms.

[srhall79.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the weight loss!

I had missed reading anything on the OSBP until now (I'm sure RPG.net has a thread that I passed over) so your link was my first exposure. I guess I must be an innocent, as I am once again amazed out how clueless some of the idiots on the 'net are.

at. "amazed at"

[thebitterguy]

I'm sure it would have been ignored entirely if not for the OP's status as an 'internet celebrity'.

[srhall79.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I like the term "internet celebrity." It brings to mind images of paparazzi crotch-shots of bloggers.

I did enjoy the Open Source Kick in the Balls project, but am too lazy to find the link.

thank you
