Proverb Proof by misschraddøn, MonkeyBoy Dan
June 1st, 2009 4:46 PM / Location: 53.488932,-2.233400All were a little simple on their own, so we decided to do three.
Proverb One
WARNING: RUDE WORDS
Will a bad word echo a hundred miles? How about into the next room?
I'm guessing that this is trying to say that if you say bad things they'll spread around far and wide. But we took it literally instead...
Disproved: A bad word didn't even echo twenty feet.
Proverb Two
No man can sup and blow together.
Is it impossible to sup and blow at the same time? I'm thinking this is along the lines of don't try and do two things at once. A word of advice to all women(i.e. my mum) who claim that multitasking is a good thing and that I'm stupid for not being able to do it.
Proved: One wet face later and the proverb was proved
Proverb Three
This one is probably meant to warn you not to rush like 'less haste' more speed ' and such. But that interpretation would not allow for this hot fork-on-cup action. SLURP.
Disproved. Drinking tea with your mouth is quicker than with a fork.
So there you have it, there is some truths in the old proverbs, but only in 33% of them. FACT.
The first proverb.
A bad word whispered will echo a hundred miles.
A bad word whispered will echo a hundred miles.

Good stuff. You are funny, I'd like to see a lot more of you lot.
While I'd enjoy seeing someone blaze through a task a day, I think you would feel more rewarded by the experience if you pushed your boundaries on the high-level tasks. You've tested out of the introductory courses to praxis; you get it; I could learn a thing or two from you about "Genuinely free, self-conscious, authentic activity as opposed to the alienated labour demanded under capitalism. " It's the big stuff you might do that I'm really curious to see, eventually. The sort of thing you can't do in a day.
What Spidere mentioned though was the fact that we occasionally get a player who submits a dozen tasks in rapid succession, and then we never hear from them again. If possible we'd like to show you what keeps so many of us coming back, the subtler refinements of tasking. Unfortunately whatever we say, some people just want a little validation, and take the points and compliments, and are done with us. If that's the case, thank you for ride, it was fun. If not, stick around for a while, see if we can't show you something you didn't know happened on the internet.

Cheers for the compliments! Rest assured this is not a flash in the pan for me - I'm looking forward to getting involved in some bigger, more thought out tasks. it Yesterday's efforts were to get the ball rolling - I've already got two more to submit (that I've not yet been able to due to restrictions on same day submissions).
One thing I've really enjoyed about the few tasks we've done so far is the meeting people factor, had a couple of great interactions with people I would never have met otherwise.
We're looking to spread the word and try to get people involved - hopefully moving onto bigger things soon.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in sf0 for feeding my creativity.
Thanks for the advice and a thousand thanks for the genuine interest.
It is highly gratifying to find an online community whose primary modes of discourse are discussion and nurture rather than flame, bile and the rantings of trolls.
The current plan is to make weekdays thinking and planning time, saturday task completion day and then rest on the seventh day and pronounce it good.
You folks are on fire! :) Welcome to the game, and don't burn out too soon! I hope you can maintain a slow burn, and eventually come to some great conflagrations.
