Troll for maroons . . . doesn't take long . .

RoeDapple 1 year, 12 months ago

"Urban Dictionary"

maroon; A term of derision often uttered by Bugs Bunny when referring to an interaction with a dopey adversary. It is a mispronunciation of the word "Moron"

"What a Maroon!" "Will ya get a load of this maroon"

Thanks autie. That describes what I do here to a "t"

"What do you do when you have trouble falling asleep?"

I don't have trouble falling asleep. The voices keep waking me.

RoeDapple 1 year, 12 months ago

Do you ever wake up with a song goin' through your head, no reason for it but you just can't shake it? Then you kinda wait, thinking maybe you'll have a revelation and it will all make sense. . . . but it never does . . .

♫Anybody here seen my old friend John? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed a lot of people, But it seems the good they die young. I just looked around and he's gone.♫

Actually have that 45 laying around somewhere.

LadyJ, for a second I thought you were talking about a revolver. Seemed like that solution was a little radical.

Calculate exactly how much sleep I would get if I fell asleep right now.

Repeat 10 minutes later.

And 10 minutes after that.

dork laugh I do that exact same thing. Then I get up and get a Tylenol PM

kateku 1 year, 12 months ago

I do the same thing! There is a fine time line for correct Tylenol PM consumption. You have to take it early enough that it won't disrupt your ability to hear the alarm.

i'm about 3/4 of the way through that book-can't stomach more than a few pages at a time. disgusting, the entire lot of them.

LadyJ 1 year, 12 months ago

Watching tv puts me out. Got some of those new fangled tvs and I just set it to go off in an hour so it doesn't stay on half the night.

It is very handy that you earth hairless apes sleep. That makes it easy for my and other species to sneak in and do experiments on you.

looza 1 year, 12 months ago

I ask my wife to talk to me....it puts me right out!

wissmo 1 year, 12 months ago

ditto, then I shudder silently until the light of morning saves me.

RoeDapple 1 year, 12 months ago

Just for the record I have never intentionally scared the bejeesus out of any street walkers by presumptuous molestation due to my inner creepiness when I turn into an attack dog.

RoeDapple 1 year, 12 months ago

LadyJ - I have a couple of .45's laying around here too . . .

. . for when the aliens bring their probes . .

Nobody can get no sleep There’s someone on everyone’s toes But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here Ev’rybody’s gonna wanna doze

RoeDapple 1 year, 12 months ago

Knew a guy like that. Work, work, work, night and day, type A (actually AAAA). Claimed he would retire a multi-millionaire by age 45. Brain aneurysm got him at 41. The wife and kids did okay though.

Masturbation. Great time to meet the stranger again or

If it is before 2:00AM I will head down to Brothers and just drink what is left on the bar and pass out about 20 minutes later. Do not know how it works but I forget most of the night and wake up feeling like I was drugged but hey, it works

I try to make out the shape of the ceiling fan in the dark while mentally quoting Ol' Ben Franklin. "Early to bed, early to rise...healthy, wealthy & wise." Attaining one out of three is a start, I guess. I fall asleep thinking about the other two. I don't know if the national bird should be the turkey, but I'd be ok with it for either major political party. You see! It's working, isn't it? Give it a try, Ben's a snooze.
