Well it did work for me a few times in the past.

I want to also, but I seem to procrastinate and not start trying.

I have been putting my homework off for 5 hours now...

I second Whozjama's suggestion. Just "deciding" to not procrastinate rarely works.

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 4:21 am

Procrastination is just so hard to conquer. I should know. I'm still fighting mine and often losing.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 2:25 pm

I once suffered from procrastination, but it has been such an issue that I will have to put it off till later.

SergeiTheFox · Post by **SergeiTheFox** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 2:42 pm

I was going to go to Procrastinators Anonymous, but the meetings kept getting postponed.

So many bad jokes, so little time.

I was going to make another joke, but I decided I would do it later.

You know, it is VERY tough to purposely write something to be bad in a good way. If you're not careful, it just ends up being bad.

And that, my friends, is why trollfics are one of the hardest things to do properly.

Oh, definitely. Look at the jokes in Christmas crackers. Those are so bad they're good, but there is a fine line.

Someone agrees with me!

I got it from CGPgrey while listening to one of the Hello Internet podcast episodes.
While I say I know the advice I can say I have the experience to verify it. I tried to use ColdTurkey once, the urge to waste time had me googling un-installation methods on the second day.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 7:45 pm

I don't think I could use Cold Turkey. First of all I wouldn't even try it because it'd become a hassle that would anger me more than procrastinating would,

So I finally was able to make fried chicken with my uncle. It came out good, but it could have used more salt.

Found this on Tumblr; TAWOG shows procrastination in a nutshell

It's so perfect.

It certainly is. Also... maybe it's just me, but did they change Gumball's VA? His voice sounds a lot higher than I remember.

Mon Feb 02, 2015 1:02 am

yeah, that's what happens when you actually have kids voicing kids. their voice changes and you need a new actor.
that's why it's better to have adult voice actresses play them. Nancy Cartwright's been Bart Simpson for over 25 years.

During Season 2 the original VAs' voices had been changing, so the first episode of S3 ("The Kids") made an in-universe excuse for transferring voice actors. How they're going to be able to pull this off any more than once, I'm not entirely sure.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 2:04 pm

I dunno, the Peanuts voice actors were pretty endearing.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 3:47 pm

I think Fergie at one time in one the shorts (not sure which), voiced Sally.

She was in "It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown"(1984), "Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown" (1985), and "The charlie Brown and Snoopy Show" (1983-1985)

so none of the big important ones, just the ones from the 80s that no one remembers

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 4:40 pm

Oh I'm sure plenty of people remember Flashbeagle. That was one of Peanuts' more epic episodes.

Tue Feb 03, 2015 7:48 pm

I've never heard of it, but maybe you had to be alive in the 80s to remember it

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:50 pm

What's Peanuts?

Kidding - just kidding!

I haven't really seen the show, but I've read some of the comics.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 11:18 pm

I just found myself strangely drawn to Danger Mouse.

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Wed Feb 04, 2015 9:26 am

I have only seen the major Peanuts specials, as well as the It's America Charlie Brown episodes. I need to watch more Peanuts, now that I know there are more I haven't seen. I bet it will be great if I liked the ones I know about.

SergeiTheFox · Post by **SergeiTheFox** » Wed Feb 04, 2015 9:37 am

The only thing related to Peanuts I've watched was a Christmas special. When it comes to older television programs though, Mr. Belvedere is my favorite

Bucky-Roo · Post by **Bucky-Roo** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 12:17 am

I have only watched the Peanuts Christmas special. I was an avid Peanuts comic reader when I was young

Punchy · Post by **Punchy** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 7:40 am

I prefer almonds

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 1:30 pm

Walnuts are my choice.

SergeiTheFox · Post by **SergeiTheFox** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 1:54 pm

Eh, I'd go with Cashews.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 2:12 pm

When I eat nuts, they have to be salted. I can't eat unsalted nuts. Too bland.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 6:49 pm

Same here. Though when I was younger, I used to suck the salt off of the nuts.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 10:31 pm

Does pecan pie count as a nut?

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 11:11 pm

I hate nuts unless they are in something like a cookie. I don't know why, I have just always been that way.

Whozjama · Post by **Whozjama** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 2:15 am

I used to (and still do!) eat boiled peanuts after dinner whilst watching the tele. My family traditionally had star anise added to it, so it was fun to overload my senses after a bowl of peanuts....I should buy some more raw peanuts to boil

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 3:43 am

I just love cashews. Almonds are okay, but I only really eat them when they're in chocolate.

deepskycyan · Post by **deepskycyan** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 5:14 am

Eugh. Can't stand nuts. Even if they're coated in chocolate. Avoid them like the plague.

Raisins though (especially chocolate coated ones), are oh so good and sweet. I nearly prefer raisin cookies over chocolate chip. Was surprised so many people dislike raisins.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 10:34 am

Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite, behind snickerdoodles, brownies, and sugar cookies.

dtlux1 · Post by **dtlux1** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 12:03 pm

I love oatmeal raisin cookies, but I don't think I'd choose them over chocolate chip. I also love sugar cookies, the best ones are the ones I can get from Giant Eagle. I love those, they are some of the best cookies I have had.
