The Many Buttons

In this apartment, there is a certain love for buttons. This stems off of us playing non other than Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda, specifically, the Ocarina of Time. Of course, one is playing and you just happen to be fighting off enemies who need to be as we like to say, "jacked". And hence, those spectating can be heard yelling, "Press the jack button on 'em!!!". This then went on to become a part of our every-now-and-again speech. Example: whenever someone got the slightest injury, they would say "someone pressed the jack button on my finger" or whatever other body part that had a boo-boo.

Then along comes the staples commercial with the concept of the easy button. We thought that was a genius idea. I don't recall exactly who's idea it was (very sure not mine) we would write a word on the message board and put a circle around it and it would thence become a button. The words would then be slightly changed so that the "button" would have new meaning. We have done like stuff before. To get more acquainted with this concept please check out the blog about the board rule changes in my roommates blog "Ling and You!". You'll have a better idea what's going on.

Here are a few of the one's that we have done:

step 1. floor
step 2. florist
step 3. purist

another:

step 1. sloth
step 2. slosh
step 3. slush
step 4. lush
step 5. flush

Other ones include the off to oaf to loaf button. And so the trend continues. I say go and have fun with this. We have. And it's become rather quite fun to create buttons such as"liquify" or "shaft". I only ask of you to not press the "hit me in the face!!" button. Thank you much.

...or the "curse my posterity for many generations" button, or the "puree my internal organs" button, or the "triple the lint output of my belly button" button.
