I find lubrication helps.

S said...

I don't know, but you've obviously managed to get stuck by your computer. What have you been doing?

Anonymous said...

Use a crowbar.

Annie said...

Tsk, boys... So lamentably literal-minded...

LC, I guess I walked into that.

Billy said...

Push.

Or walk backwards.

Or turn around.

Alda said...

Ask for help.

Annie said...

masturbate

QE said...

What kind of stuck are you?

There's usually an '/unstick' command of some sort, so that the customer service people will come and reset you back to a nearby spawn point.
Although it might not work in real life. Certainly I have yet to work out how to get to the command line.

Anything to do with these guys?

When you're stuck like Glue. Vaseline.
If you need some Goo. VASELINE.
La la lala lala la.

I use solvent to get myself unstuck.

Alcohol is a solvent.

Work out if that's a bad thing. If not, sit back and smile in a smug fashion, possibly with an ostentatious cocktail in your hand. If it is a bad thing, work out what's sticking you and make it go away somehow.

Hmm, interesting. This is like a psychological test, the answers revealing more about my dear readers than the question.

Billy - push - yes, that's clearly the answer, but I'm lazy. Backwards - not an option. Turn around - another possibility.

Alda - too right. I'm very bad at doing this.

Rehan - often my first choice too. But can be very distracting.

Tim, they're interesting - though that website hurts my eyes, surprisingly for artist types.

Rad, nonono - water-based is safer.

Llewtrah, ah, it's tempting but only a temporary solution.

Anonymous, very interesting.
sometimes the best thing is to do nothing... it might well be better to adopt the attitude that... it is in fact quite acceptable to be stuck and to do nothing, and that this is a healthy and unavoidable part of life...

Violet, true enough... Am stuck in many ways but most of all in my thinking, which is hard to change.

Annie said...

Annie & QE, I missed you.

Annie, ça va san dire.

QE, resetting back to the spawn point would be very useful I think.

Quink said...

Look it up on Google and pass the solution off as your own.

Rad said...

I was quoting lyrics from an Elastica song. I do agree with you though. WD40 is much better.

Most times I have got physically stuck I usually laugh. Stuck in a sort of lost/abandoned type way not knowing where one is usually smoke alot (when I did smoke) and eventually cry or get lots of money out of a cashpoint and get into a taxi or call a friend. If stuck mentally I usually resort to getting the tarot cards out or go to sleep to avoid facing reality (until I get bored) and eventually have a word with myself.

Go to Berlin next week, with me!!!! I´ll get you unstuck, love...

It really depends on where I'm stuck, which part of me is stuck, for how long I'm stuck, if I'm stuck alone or with someone else... the answer can go from "simply enjoy" to "chew a leg off if I have to".

Annie said...

Quink, it's the one time Google is failing me.

Rad, I know. WD40? Ewww!

Em, good idea!! Let's do it!

Dcver, this is not so much being physically stuck, which can be fun.

Rad said...

But it smells so goooood!

What do I do when I'm stuck?

Wriggle!
