Poole, Pain, and Desperation

Hungover jumping jacks
  Imagine the most intense headache you've ever had - maybe a long night of drinking, waking up at noon next to the bathtub, wondering where your pants are and how you mysteriously ended up with a burn on your ass...add to this confusion and general malaise the terror of hundreds upon hundreds of jumping jacks.   This is probably the worst idea in the history of time

Throwing self down the stairs
Does this really need any further explanation?  One the list of things to do before I die, throwing myself down the stairs is usually absent...usually.

Deep pit of discarded writings
  How did the pit get there?  Obviously it took a lot of frustrated energy to dig such a hole, even a figurative one.
