Most people on this board just hurt their cat.

I've thrown a couple Dell CRT's which were about $700 a piece at the time off my desk when I was trading stocks for a living.

I used to smash mouses regularly playing poker. I buy these old Logitech Mouseman by the box-there like $10 a piece-for me I havent found a more comfortable mouse.

Dumbest thing I ocassionaly do with poker is I'll wing a Pilot Precise pen and have it explode-which is not too cool.

I've really toned it down thu in the last year or so. I'm getting too old to get that pissed off...and whenever you do usually get that pissed off you cant play afterwards--so you are just setting yourself up for a tougher day then you've already had.

Also forgot to mention that I've ruined more than 2 lcd screens on brand new Dell laptops by winging them across a room. Maybe thats why I never replaced that 2nd laptop I bought 2 years ago -really moronic.

haha I'm reading this thread after posting(bad habit)..another toy that has occasionally been abused is the tv remote-it's currently taped together and works aok.

Also I forgot the one thing I stil do in the last couple years is this ..I smash a calculater every 3-4 months. I went to Staples and bought like a half dozen as backups. The Xerox XRX-230 are great little desktop calculaters.

thats about all I can think of right now.

never broken anything...but i've beaten a few things (mouse, keyboard, etc) I did throw my copy of SSH out of my room and against the wall in the hallway in a fit of joy once awhile back. Thing held up like a champ tho.

Shortly after reading "Zen and the Art of Poker" I broke my mouse and had to get a new one. I don't think it sunk in that well.

i break some pencils now and then. but i've got plenty and they are rather cheap. sometimes they learn to fly, too.

I have never punched anything. I have never broken anything. I am very zen.
