Call me crazy (c’mon you know you already do) but I’ve got a new obsession. Every day I read the Groupon Coupon…even if I don’t have the slightest interest in what they’re selling because the copy is SO outrageous.
Here’s part of yesterday’s (which was for a fondue place): “Now that spinach has been deemed a performance-enhancing vegetable, Popeye’s future shortstop career hinges on his transition to cheese. Get a sailor’s worth of energizing, melted cheese with today’s Groupon”
Most of the Groupons are like that and now I’m hooked on reading them!
What sorts of brain-draining/time-wasting things do you read/do?
Please don’t count “reading Killer Chicks” among them. Today in Free for All Friday we’re discussing True Crime
JB Lynn's Confessions 
Kudos to someone who can take a coupon blurb and make it entertaining.
That wasn’t even the best I’ve seen!
That’s hilarious and I echo Jennifer – serious kudos for coupon creativity! Does Twitter count? I’m hooked.
They almost always make me laugh, Joann.
I’ve never heard of Groupon Coupon! Must check it out.
Like Joann, I’m finding Twitter to be the biggest time-suck. I could just mindlessly spend hours reading the constant tweeting of people I’ve never met in real life. I did manage to wean myself off of celebrity gossip a la Perez Hilton, though, so that’s a start.
Celebrity gossip is the biggest mind-suck out there, imho
I have a craigslist Missed Connections habit. It’s more under control than it used to be, but some days I read them for way longer than I should admit. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/774664.html
I didn’t say “Please provide me with another way I can waste my time”.
Thanks alot. 😉
