This is a question Procrastination

Outlook is a wonderful tool, but not when it keeps reminding you that it is now 96 weeks since you were supposed to finish a report you haven't even started yet.

Just how lazy are you? How long will you put off the essential or the inevitable? What do you fill the time with?

(We're too lazy to write something funny here. You do it.)

In case you're still wondering what the flying duck my post was all about, it's actually computer generated. Using a template (which was partially inspired by this post) with several words removed, I got my computer to fill them in with random words. Using the best bits of about 15 runs, I compiled together this story.

I find that exposing myself to randomly generated juxtapositions does train my mind to either grab insights out of nowhere, cultivate a fertile imagination, or to at least enjoy an appreciation for the bizarre.

Even in the age when we've been exposed to several websites of bizarre humour that bypass what the mainstream media want us to hear, many still find this post too strange for them. Imagine seeing something like this back in the early 90's over and over again (this does partially explain why I'm the way I am)!

PS. My real procrastination story is that I never got round to doing a PC conversion of this program - it only runs on 80's-era hardware and I had to use an emulator to get it to work.

I like it for its undying obscurity
but... is it relevant?

It's about putting off reforming some chewing-gum, which is procrastination, so it's relevant.
