Things to do when you live in a boring "city"...

Ok you creative, inventive, and might I add hilarious folks, I'm looking for ideas. I am cursed to live in an absolutely BORING town with about as much culture and excitement as a defrosting freezer and am looking for ways to pass the time till my next voyage into the real world (or New York as it's normally called). I welcome any ideas or suggestions!

Make toothbrush bracelets!! It's a toothbrush, and a bracelet! Like God's gift to man.

i could not live in a small town. On roadtrips when we take pit-stops, i always wonder what its like...but never want to experience. haha no offense to anyone who lives in these sorta towns. but, i too live in a smallish suburb of chicago...but we have great malls and stuff. haha I'll join you Clarinetbiter135 in cow tipping!!

I just created our Suburbian Support Group thread :) Go post!

THOUROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is pretty easy to stage with your locals.

I do relate to all you bored suburbanites. Having been born and raised in New York City, I get SO bored going to theatre festivals, new restaurants, foreign films and avant-garde music performances. And then the plethora of museums-Whitney, Guggenheim, Frick-who can keep the names straight? If I go to just ONE more art gallery opening, i'll scream!

But jungle, what if I love libertine men and scarlet women and ragtime?

Shameless music!

Meijer (or whatever local supermarket you frequent) is great.
24 hours.

Buying Red Bull and riding the Penny Ponies by the entrance is a good way to kill an hour.
Especially when you get to the level of hyper that you attempt to "race" the ponies.
Works best around 3 am.


Once, my friend Mary kidnapped 4 of our friends.
We drove them to Meijer, gave them each $2, and instructed them to buy us presents.
When they returned, we graded their gifts in assinine categories.
(Edible? 2 points. Orange? 4 points. Found in the checkout lane? Subract 2 points.)
And we gave the winner a t-shirt from our dorm that said:
"Who's Your Monkey?"
That was the best day ever.
I got some really cool presents out of it, too.
I still have the sign that says "DANGEROUS: NO TRESPASSING"

Oh insomniak, the idle message board is the devil's playground.
