The Book of Wholesome Hobbies That Denise And Mark Have Forbidden Their Staff and Volunteers From Taking Part In

Originates from IRC. (This is ha-ha-only-serious.)

Book of Wholesome Hobbies that are Forbidden

  • Getting hit by a bus (essential or non-essential)
  • Deleting every single comment that an ex-friend has left in your journal and marking it as spam. (It's the marking it as spam part that's forbidden. Delete to your heart's content.)
  • Feeding the trolls.
  • Hanging out with that guy who points AK-47s at you.
  • Making a large number of completely outlandish suggestions in [info]dw_suggestions for the sole purpose of making the person handling the moderation queue crack up.
  • Tossing x-acto knife like it's a pen while bored waiting for things to run http://qdb.dreamwidth.net/dw/258
  • Fall over and injure themselves
  • Stuff parmesan cheese up their noses
  • Turn Random Word hEll into a mutant supervillian (via gamma ray exposure, or any other method)
  • Summon Rah like an Elder God: http://qdb.dreamwidth.net/dw/488 and http://qdb.dreamwidth.net/dw/590
  • Buying chemical raw materials.
  • Playing with chemicals (unless that is part of your Actual Job Description at your Actual Job). http://qdb.dreamwidth.net/dw/516
  • Getting gum stuck in your nose hair. http://azurelunatic.dreamwidth.org/6723816.html
  • Engaging in knife fights to determine who gets to keep their confusingly similar IRC nick and who must change
  • Any sort of knife fight at all
  • We probably have a rule about committing while on drugs.
  • Doing a burn test on unknown or possibly wool fibers with inadequate ventilation http://qdb.dreamwidth.net/dw/225
  • Setting users on fire http://qdb.dreamwidth.net/dw/588
  • Attempting to ride a Segway into the library http://misskat.dreamwidth.org/3452087.html
  • Throwing things off the hotel balcony
  • Buying unwise sparklers
  • Spending excessive amounts of money on nail polish
  • Stay up past bedtime
    • Especially when "staying up past bedtime" will constitute going against a direct order from The Bossen
  • Lick the keyboard (even if it is flavored)
  • Leaving the balcony in a downward direction
  • Absolutely not allowed to take a personal day to kill or otherwise physically harm people who have annoyed you.
    • Not on company time either

  • Going to the conference without pants
  • Having ice cream for breakfast
  • Answering Support requests while intoxicated
    • If you're lucky, D will top off your drink for you so you don't have to get up.
      • But approving your own answers while still intoxicated is frowned on.
