I find that playing simple games on forums can be a good distraction sometimes. For example, the Word Game.
I played the "This or That" Game on another forum ages ago. You basically post two things and the next poster says which one they prefer and then posts two things to choose from for the next poster.
(Yes, apparently I have too much time on my hands!!! )
So, for example:
Rent a movie at home or go to the movie theater?
