On a scale from 1-10*, how would you rate your pain tolerance?
*with 1 being very low threshold
Bonus inquiry:
Is there a scientific 1-10 scale for pleasure as well?

I dunno, 7 or 8? I'm usually able to work through whatever pain I'm in if I'm focused on something. If I burn the fuck out of my hand while I'm cooking I just keep cooking because dinner needs to get done.

Well if you would've asked me back when this gang got started, it'd've been a very low number. I've been poked and prodded so much that it's pretty high now. Like, a 7? As far as mixing pleasure and pain scales...only my hairdresser knows for certain.

I wonder if there's a point where your seratonin receptors just shut down or frazzle out from too much pleasure. Have you ever heard of that rare condition where some people's pain receptors literally don't work? That's gotta be a weird life. |

As far as mixing pleasure and pain scales...only my hairdresser knows for certain. It occurs to me that people might be more or less susceptible to certain sorts of pain more than others, also. Like, one person might handle blunt force trauma relatively well (compared to most), but find even low electrical shocks excruciating. I think I'm like that. I do know that I tend to handle physical pain better than emotional. But obviously, there's limits to anything. |

Having undergone some grueling oral surgery back in the mid-2000s, I've found that I can pretty much take dental work without a problem. I don't know if it would spill over into other situations, but it certainly could. Of course, the redeeming factor with the dentist is that you do know that it's going to stop sometime in the relatively near future.

Funny, before it would let me post that, the board demanded that I shorten the subject line. I see no evidence that it asked you guys to do the same.
Addendum: And it just did it to me again with this one. |

That is very weird.
And no, it isn't doing that to me.

On a scale from 1-10, how aggravating is that for you, Marxo?

So, this is probably a terrible juncture in the conversation, but here's tonight's quandary:
It's already my days off again, but I haven't had a chance to decompress from the work week yet (things to do over at Mom's earlier today). Well anyway, I'm still in GO-mode as the evening comes on (though also weary and people-frazzled from the work week), and want/need to really relax. What does ZAQB suggest for me to achieve maximum comfy/onesie-mode tonight?

That doesn't sound very comfy, but it probably is what I could use, if only just to remind myself that I've got things pretty sweet for the time being. By God, I'll do it!

I wonder where Mayshon's wandered off to? I think he was the first one to post over here. Hopefully, he's just busy with good things going on.

In response to to your decompression question: Masturbate. There's nothing more relaxing than man-to-hand combat with the one eyed zombie. Incidentally, it's also a great way of dealing with an existential crisis. |

A recent Choco thread on twitter got me thinking:
Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies
Has there ever been a movie with a really long title that's been any good?
(Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb doesn't count because everyone just calls it Dr. Strangelove. Also I've never seen it)

Dr. Strangelove is fucking amazing.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is not.
