I think it was back in the sixties when some twit came up with something called "Primal Scream Therapy". The basic idea is to holler at the top of your lungs and that this relieves stress. It does feel good; sometimes I'll do it in my car, just for fun.
But I have a better altenative: Maniacal Laughter Therapy. Rather than screeching like some nutjob, let loose with a good evil laugh! Imagine your orbital death ray is poised to wipe out the entire population of Peoria if you don't receive 82 tons of blue, peanut M&M's by the time you finish blowing your nose. Get drunk on the imaginary power! Let fly with a solid "Mwa-hahahahaha!" type of thing. Get creative. It feels great.
And don't forget the psychotic grin for the sake of those around you.
Enjoy!

What?! Two in the same year?! IS HE MAD!?
The spousal unit has tagged me with a sort of meme thingy. So, here goes a bunch of fours.
Four jobs I've had in my life: Security Gaurd, Taxi driver (Are you talkin' to me?), Process Engineer, Quality Engineer.
Four movies I would watch over and over: Aliens, Star Wars IV (Han shot first!), Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Incredibles.
Four places I have lived: London, St. Catharines, Newmarket, CFB Gagetown (but not for very long).
Four TV shows I love to watch: Mythbusters, Family Guy, Futurama, Stargate Atlantis.
Four places I have been: Toluca Mexico, Denver, Brownsville Texas, Disneyworld.
Four websites I visit daily: Slashdot, Dilbert, Hardgainer, Adrenaline Vault.
Four of my favorite foods: M&Ms (except the crunchy ones in the blue bag), shrimp, Spousal Unit's risotto (seafood or chicken), and lately Miss Vickie's jalapeno potato chips.
Four places I would rather be right now: New Zealand (looks like an amazing place), on a quiet beach somewhere (not too far from civilization, but not too close either), the house I grew up in, in a cozy pub with a group of good friends.
Four Friends that have been tagged that I think will respond: The only folks I know who blog have already done this thing, or won't.

There! Happy now?
Useless invention #1:
Ingredients: 1 escalator, one laser or ultrasound ranging device, on programmable logic controller (PLC) (if not already part of escalator), and one slinky. This also assumes that fine speed control is possible on the escalator.
Basically, setup and program the laser or whatever to detect the position of the slinky and feed this measurement to the PLC which then adjusts the escalator's speed to maintain the slinky in one location. The slinky keeps going downstairs, but never gets anywhere.
Hours of useless fun.
Which reminds me, some people are like slinkys. They aren't really good for anything, but they're fun to push down the stairs.
