Welcome to “The Dull Men’s Club” (Or, It Can Always Be Worse)
First off, let me say this….I’m not making this up.
Ever wanted to learn about the history of the folding chair? Want to share your thoughts about the exciting and stimulating visual experience of watching a grape turn into a raisin? And then learn all about the history of raisins? Or how about the ultimate adventure - taking your shop vac on a Fly Safari, stalking and sucking up the slower of those crafty critters, then, THEN, the most dangerous game….catching them while they’re actually in flight.
Ever dreamed of such an adventure?
Neither have I.
But, apparently somebody likes to do these things and, furthermore, they like to tell you all about them on a web site called The Dull Men’s Club. http://www.dullmen.com/home.html
Really. I told you, I’m not making it up.
I just spent about twenty minutes browsing the site and reading about the exciting activity of Extreme Accounting (good Lord!), and learning about the Joy Of Concrete.
For the truly adventurous there is a video of winding up a rubber band airplane (the crowd gasps in amazement) and even - brace yourself, now - a link to the Shoe Lace Website. I’m feeling all giddy just thinking about it.
I thought at first the site is supposed to be a farce, but then as I looked at more and more of the stuff on it I wasn’t sure if it was or not. I’m still not. Sure, that is. I think that the twenty minutes on that site has damaged me somehow. I know that after I managed to extricate myself from it’s oddly mesmerizing grip I had to resist the impulse to throw myself under a train. A long, slow train.
The guys who post the articles on this site make Woody Allen look like the love child of Indiana Jones and Eric the Red. It’s Walter Mitty heaven. If it’s not a farce, that is. I’m confused.
Think your life is boring? Check out this site and you’ll draw one sure conclusion: It can ALWAYS be worse.
