All right, finally a minute free to type!
Some More Fun Things to Do Around Center Neptune
Spread rumors that due to funding cuts, the cafeteria is now substituting Spam for all pork products.
Steal one of those little dishes of pudding from the cafeteria. Prop it upside-down on some bricks. See how many days--or weeks, or months--it takes to fall out of the dish.
Put a whoopee cushion on one of the chairs on the Phoenix's bridge.
Glue a dead spider to a small piece of glass. Tape it in front of the lens of one of the intermittent-sweep Security cameras.
Post "LOST" notices in the lounges and cafeteria with a picture of an amoeba.
Start a hallway basketball league.
Jam a tape of "H.R. Puf'n'stuff" in one of the lounge viewers.
When someone asks about the above, tell them you think it's a briefing tape and doesn't Witchy-Poo look like Zoltar? If they buy it up to the point where the broom falls out of the sky, give yourself extra points.
Send G2 an anonymous award for "Most Inventive Use of Feathers."
Hang an air freshener in the G-4.
Start an Irish dance club. Move the rehearsal site around as much as possible: next to the cafeteria, above Chief Anderson's office, in the Phoenix's drydock . . . .
Teach yourself how to play the bagpipes.
After you think you've mastered the bagpipes, start wearing a kilt and sporran when off-duty. Make up your own plaid design.
Stencil a box with CAUTION: SCORPIONS, LIVE, AUSTRALIAN and leave it open on the floor of the locker room.
Carry a mouth harp in your pocket and practice it during slow moments.
Tell people your department's new defense project involves crossing jumping cholla cactus with poison oak.
Try the old burning-bag-of-compost trick in front of someone's door. Who knows? This is an undersea base full of science types. It might actually work.
Make up holidays. "Hey, everyone, it's Sanitation Appreciation Day!"
Buy a large hairy fake spider and perch it on your computer monitor. If anyone asks, his name is Boris. At Christmas, tie a fancy bow and a little bell to one of his legs. Give him a little green hat on St. Patrick's Day, and a cotton ball at Easter (he's babysitting).
Keep a Tagalog-to-Swahili dictionary at your desk. If anyone asks, it's to help you with your work manuals.
Leave a pile of empty cans balanced at the top of a stairwell, then remove the nearest light bulb. Put a sign outside reading QUIET PLEASE: RECORDING SESSION NEARBY.
If your field is mathematics or physics, put together a dissertation with lots of incomprehensible formulae "proving" that the latest Spectran ship cannot possibly fly (or travel in space, underground, underwater, etc.). Start a loud-voiced discussion somewhere public with someone whom you can count on to disagree violently with whatever you say.
Write a theme song for Spectra and hum it loudly during attacks.
Compose an anonymous love letter to Zoltar and leave it on someone else's desk.
Become a public, vocal fan of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Lost in Space, and Star Wars. Work elements of these into conversations at every opportunity.
Tuck your shirt into your underpants so that the waistband hangs out. See how long it takes for someone to actually tell you. Fix it, then unfix it when they're not looking.
