Any other sites?

[Jumpy]

In a couple of hours, I will be leaving this forum so I don't find out the score before I watch the game when I get home. It will require more will power to stay away from this board than quitting smoking, but I think I can do it.

to aid in my efforts, I was hoping that you guys had some sites that are safe for work and safe from possible XU score contamination that I can jump to when I feel the need to slack off and jump on the web.

this is especially tricky because our firewall is rather strict, not allowing me any access to any site with even a hint of games, streaming media, porn, etc.

All quality suggestions will be repped.

Completely misread..... usually CNN and Dick Vitale's blog won't have any X coverage

Spend an afternoon randomly updating wikipedia with misleading information.

Now that is a good idea.

EDIT: I'll have to catch up to you after some more suggestions are posted STL. It says I have to spread the love.

Not sure if you'll be able to access it, but Chillable Hours (http://chillablehours.com) is a tremendous time waster. Just don't get mad at me when your productivity plummets. If you can't directly access that, there's a Traveler IQ game that is equally addictive. Direct Link (http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq/game1) to that game.

Another one that you might not be able to access is Hapland (http://foon.co.uk/farcade/hapland/)(there are three of them). It's addictive but can be frustrating.

Edit: missed the part where you can't access games. Like STL said though, wikipedia is a good time killer. You can learn tons of obscure and generally useless facts.

You should try musketeermadness.com they never talk Xavier basketball over there it is usually just two guys yelling at eachother.

Go to woot.com (http://www.woot.com) and enjoy the WootOff... new products pop up as soon as the old one sells out. And you can pick up random Christmas gifts for friends and family.

Don't forget the amazing subservient chicken at subservientchicken.com (http://www.subservientchicken.com)... good for a few minutes of entertainment.

Upside Down Dogs is good for a few laughs if you're into that kind of stuff....upsidedowndogs.com (http://www.upsidedowndogs.com)

Also, a computerized erector set that you have to download: http://sodaplay.com/creators/soda/items/constructor
(http://sodaplay.com/creators/soda/items/constructor)
Or, http://symmetrylab.com/machine/... also a time waster.

That chillable hours site sure has an unhealthy infatuation with all things Palin. I'm not so worried about productivity dropping. It's hard to get less than 0%.
