Did I, or didn't I? I went to sleep last night wondering if I'd gotten rid of the snowball that I'd been pelted with by Scrappy. I didn't. And since Moonglum's received his first gift from his Secret Santa, I'll add another to his pile - this one from me.

How can I possibly still be hungry after my second midnight snack?

Post by Phalon on Dec 21, 2007 18:44:35 GMT -6
That is because, Ubernut, the second midnight snack always falls within the Inbetween - the time period between when your head tells you the day is over, but your stomach thinks the new day as begun, and therefore it must be time for breakfast.
I'm not sure how it works, but during the Inbetween calories don't count.
What? That's not the way it works?
Damn.

I was following a truck the other day. The truck had a large roof-rack that was piled high with ladders of different types. The truck belonged to our local Gas utility supplier.
All gas pipes around here are buried underground?

That's kind of funny, Moonglum - it made me laugh anyway.
And speaking of ladders...
Why are all the runged climbing devices male? Where have all the lassers gone?

They shine brightly. You've heard of Lasser Beams, havn't you.
I find this very worrying.
Why do people have their sat-navs on when driving home from work? Are there really that many drivers who've forgotten where they live?

Oooo, scary thought, Moonglum.
Here's one that's been keeping me awake for the last few nights, and obviously, tonight is no different; it's 3:30 am.
How can one teeny-tiny, short little hour daylight saving time-change mess up a person's sleep pattern so badly that that person's inner alarm clock somehow got reset to 3:00 and rings so loudly that there is no chance of using the snooze button?
Grrrargh!

Grrrargh! Ah, but it's not teeny-tiny or short. Not when you're lying there with one eye on the clock. Why do we do that? When we're trying to drift back to sleep, why do we always have to look at the clock to see how much time has passed? 'Rings so loudly'. I've done that. I've woken up because the alarm has been ringing, only to find I'm a couple of hours early and it hasn't been ringing. But it did, I know it did. It woke me up d**n it!

I know, I know!
Because if we didn't look at the clock to see how much time has passed, we would not know how many hours of lost sleep to complain about in the morning.

If Canadian geese stop on their migration home to become parents, are their goslings U.S. citizens, and therefore called United States geese?
We've got a Canadian goose couple nesting on the pond at work - I hope we'll soon see little goslings. They are so cute and fuzzy swimming after their parents.

A pottery company advertises a line of rustic pots made to resemble rocks in this way: "Life-like Rock Pots".
Uhm....has anyone ever see a "living" rock? How do they act? What do they eat? And should I be afraid if I ever come across one?

Whilst researching for a well known game! I came across this little gem.
'Mattak is made from chicken feet with rice and yellow beans. Some reliable candidates say that the delicacy tastes like crunchy spinich and chicken poo.'
How do they know?...........................unless!!!
(yes Scraps, I'm to blame for that one.)

LMAO! never heard that one, vox. one that kept me up when I was five was; "Who decides what's a fruit and what's a vegetable?" seriously... I like tomatoes... but who decided they're a fruit? taste like a vegetable to me. what do I know though.

I've often wondered "if carrots make you see better in the dark, why do I have to wear glasses?

nah, with that, I always wondered why I wouldn't just turn on a light to see better in the dark.

Yeah... random is good! Sorry if you took that the wrong way, vox. Feel free to slap me for that one. Here's a thought that used to keep me up a lot;
"If Jimmy cracks corn, and no one cares, why did they write a song about him?"

that's great, gabrielle! i don't have questions that keep me awake, but, like aph, my inner child likes to mess with me when i'm starting to drift off to sleep. like, i'll be laying there, almost asleep, and suddenly think "i like eggs," or some such thing. random, yeah. annoying, yeah. but, in hindsight, always funny simply because my thoughts get so random when i'm falling asleep.

@ Gabrielle: maybe they really DO care, but want to pretend that they don't....?? @ Ellie: your random thoughts are one of the things I love about you. interesting thing i noticed... vox has been on since she posted this... but she hasn't posted anything. I really hope you didn't offend her badly enough that she doesn't want to come back, Gabrielle.
