    Re: Weirdest Thing You Do?

    Another one that should have been so obvious as I've done it my whole life.

    I constantly act like I'm playing sports when I'm not. I'll be in the kitchen talking to my wife and without even thinking about it, I'll swing an imaginary bat or pick up a spatula and swing it like a bat. I'll be in my bosses office having a conversation and will act like I'm pitching or am a lefty picking runners off with my best balk move or will throw a little stress ball off the wall and field it like a grounder.

    During our work bowling season, I'll shadow like I'm bowling or I'll swing an imaginary golf club for a few days after a round of golf. If there is another guy in the room, I'll grab the stress ball, dribble it like a basketball and cross him over or post him up.

    I've done this crap since I was like 5 years old and have never stopped. I don't think I do it as often as I used to, but I still do it pretty often. Even as I'm working sometimes, I'll put down the mouse to think real quick and take a left handed hack and get right back to work.

    And the funny part, at least to my wife, is that whenever I act like I throw the ball (whether it's a pitch, a pickoff, etc.), I always catch the ball thrown back.

      Re: Weirdest Thing You Do?

      I fall asleep to director commentaries on movies or some random Internet podcasts. The sound of someone else talking about an interesting topic soothes me, even if I've heard it before.

      Probably not the weirdest thing that I do, but I know a lot of people don't do that.

        LOL. I do this too sometimes. I'll be in the kitchen, and I'll bust a Jordan fadeaway.

          I stopped doing this when I was 12 years old, but I'll never forget a student teacher I had freshmen year of high school who used to pretend he was swinging a bat in front of the class like Trev described. He'd swing his imaginary bat and throw pitches, full windup.

          The class thought it was hilarious but I understood. When I was young I wouldn't notice it, but I was going through these motions 24/7. Bat swings, windups, dribbling a basketball, and I'd even occasionally juke out furniture. LOL I was a wierd kid.

            Sometimes, I'll randomly set up a field goal kick.

            Goodness gracious, I'm a weird mother****er.

              I sit on the floor in front of my coffee table all the time. I rarely sit on the couch. I have my laptop on the coffee table and I always play games either sitting on the floor or laying on the floor.

                          CBS is channel 5 here.

                          I wouldn't be able to watch the NCAA Tournament!

                          I think that's the only odd numbered one we have, outside of the Dish channels.

                              If you mean by volume, I do as well, except for X5. So my volume would go 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25... and so on. I didn't think of that before.

                                That is hilarious...I guess that'll teach people to stop peeing on everything.

                                It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.
