    Aaah!!! :) Slamming doors is still good! :D
    I have evidence of how much I love to slam doors in the spare room. :o
    Except my particular style is to slam it back into the wall behind it. :p

    Oh, and punching or kicking closet doors in de rigueur around my house. Oh and filing cabinets. :o

    I think about doing it alot. :)
    Popping popcorn in a pot on the stove, that is.

    I miss being able to slam the phone down on someone. Not that I am ever mad enough to do that...but if the opportunity arose, it would help. :o
    I used to love the big pushbutton phones.

    it funny we still call it "dialing" the phone yet rotary phones haven't been used in like 20 years

    and instead of slamming the phone down, i just press end and throw it....usually on the couch.....cell phone can be pricey....:p

    Nothing beats a good wall-punch. :D

    I am the kicker, not the puncher. :o
    My brother taught me to throw a punch with my thumb enclosed in my fingers. :mad: I would have alot of broken thumbs if I ever had the nerve to throw a punch. :o

    :D Well there's evidence all over of my door slamming skills. It's so cathartic! :D And having a prefab concrete house pretty much saves the walls from any of my little tantys. :o

    The filing cabinet on the other hand is a goddam sturdy f*%ker so I don't think I'll be taking that on anytime soon. I've pretty much killed the closet by over filling and I'm so used to jollying along it's got a free pass. :D

    My granny always said the best way to work off some aggression was to go out and chop some wood. Now there's an obsolete skill for ya! :D
    NOPE!!!

    Your bro was just making sure you lost any fights in the house. :p

    I've punched more walls than I care to admit... bleeding knuckles make me realise that your kicking technique may be smarter. :o

    We definitely should bring back chopping wood. Not that I would do it but I would stack it.
    I remember when a girlfriend told me her husband was doing very cruel things to her. We had just had firewood delivered that day. I was so mad I went outside when I got home and was drunkenly flinging wood all around the yard, towards the woodpile.

    I would say hand washing the dishes, but I know someone that doesn't have a dishwasher! :eek:

    One of the best things I reckon, whenever we rent a holiday house, is the dishwasher!!! :D Otherwise tis all washed by hand in the sink here. :)

    And I do a bit of wood chopping at the farm from time to time, although I did use to quip to my Gran that nobody should leave me alone with an axe when I'm cranky! :p:D
    NOPE!!!

    :D Cheeky bugger! :p

    Never fear, I'm quite sure I'll be far too busy with house guests to be anywhere near the axe. :D

    ouch...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
