Reason #241 to exercise regularly

[flexagon]

When you go out, you'll be that much more likely to have plans to go to the gym later. And so, when you are sitting on a bench peaceably doing crafts and talking to others who are also peaceably doing crafts, and suddenly a pigeon explosively poops all across your shoulders, you will have a much higher probability of having a tank top to change into.

Thank you, gym habit.

(For those of you with an interest in history, the last time I was pooped on by a bird was late 1993, the day I lost my virginity. That's always made for a great story... well, at least if "great" means I've had an entire subway platform fall silent when I told it too loudly. Are there any parallels to be drawn here? Well, nothing that would make heisenbug jealous, but it may mark the day I fell deeper into the depths of shameless knitterhood. Because before I went off to change into the tank top, when someone told me that I had a bit of poop in my hair as well as all over my T-shirt, I held up my pristine knitting and said but look what it didn't get!. What can I say... sometimes you just have to look for the bright side.)

Birds are evil. At least you're resourceful!

I'm continually amazed at how you have a topic-appropriate icon for everything. :)

It's all about what's easiest to wash, right?

Glad you were poopared.

AAAAAAhhhh hahahaha!

I was already amused by the story, but "poopared" put me over the edge to hilarity--thanks for that!

Glad I wasn't only amusing myself. :-D

I had to go back 2 pages on my friends list because you're not posting much these days. Anyway, I came across a game online and I thought you'd like it: http://www.armadillorun.com/

Oh cool, thanks! I downloaded the demo and played with it a bit. It definitely seems like the kind of thing I'd have fun working through. :)

There's a 2-D physics sandbox called phun that's also supposed to be good, though don't go to phun.com or phun.org... they both go to the same place and it's just a mediocre-looking porn site.
