Ok, so here I sit, at my college over christmas break. It is the day before new years eve. Things are dead. It's 9:00 (central time zone), and I work until 3:30 or 4. I need some help to kill the boredom. I work at the IT helpdesk for my school. I live about half an hour away from the campus. There are no computers to fix, all the work orders are complete. I'm just friggen bored. So... I call upon the vast knowledge resource known as the lounge to help entertain me in a matter that is safe for work. I need ur help.

This could keep me entertained for a while.

I have already read all of snopes and bored.com
I will read the lounge and GBS for a while.

Any other good archives to read?

I have dev-C++ at my disposal. Anybody need me to write a console app for them?

Find a janitor's closet, a stereo, a camera, and some Elvis MP3's.

Grab mob, turn on music, turn up, use mop as microphone, impersonate. Record for the lounge's enjoyment.
