You ever thought about settling down, getting into jigsaw puzzles instead?

You have never been stabbed with a sharp jigsaw piece by an angry sibling, have you Worry?

[worry]

Course not. Who would get angry at me?!

One of the guys at me new company has decided that as I read I must want to listen to him wax lyrical about the shite he reads. Going off his description it sound vaguely like something that was the butt of a lot of jokes in the reading now thread.

Weredolphins are people too!

I lost interest in those around the age of 14, I think.

I fucking love jigsaw puzzles.

There are online sites were you can upload pictures and just do puzzles to your hearts content. I have done hundreds of hours of those things. Still, it doesn't really beat the joy of completing a physical jigsaw puzzle. But those things are expensive.

I sometimes dream about owning a giant house with an enormous table where I could spend weeks assembling 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzles.

I burned out with 1500-2500 ones. Too often the makers take the cheap shortcut of making a third of the picture the sky that's all the exact same shade of blue. when that's all you have left, it becomes pure trial and error, which is tedious and no longer fun.

I still have a whole box of them in our garage somewhere.

Maybe you two could team up with Worry and have some sort of ninja puzzle competition where you are competing against each other and have to fight for the pieces

If you've never made a Wentworth puzzle you haven't lived. Best puzzles out there.

[Aptorian]

Just googled Wentworth. 100£ for a 1000 piece puzzle? That wood puzzle better be cut out of mahogany and lacquered with the blood of a tree nymph for that price.

[Abyss]

When you complete the puzzle it opens a portal to Narnia. Also, nymphsex. Watch for splinters.

[QuickTidal]

Puzzle nymph sex is....complex.

It's better than that. No edge pieces, themed puzzle pieces hidden in the framework, great quality. It's more than just a puzzle, it's a little work of beauty. Plus you don't even need 1000 pieces, because due to it's design a 250-500 piece puzzle will give the same challenge as a 'normal' 1000 piece puzzle. They are just gorgeous.

[Gorefest]

Okay, I worry about myself now.

Goddamit man, now I want one!

EDIT: Googled them....good gods, these are not only nicely designed, but the art on them is GORGEOUS! Looks like I'm spending some money.
