4:00 AM EST and DU is flying

[Jim Warren]

Amazing amount of activity given the hour. I hope it's a good sign and not everyone is getting like me and can't sleep well lately.

Oh well, just thought I note it, no need to reply, too many other good threads just whizzing by.

carry on

1. Naw

I'm just displaced from my industry thanks to Bush shipping my job over seas. So I stay up however late I want looking for work and contemplating suicide! YAY!

[DieboldMustDie]

3. No suicides allowed 'til after the election.

:evilgrin:

[BeHereNow]

2. Hell, we can sleep when we're dead!

And with the Busholinis in power,
you never know how soon that may be!
:nuke:
So carry on indeed!
BHN:toast:

4. Uncredited quote of the night

"When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember that you started out to drain the swamp."

5. Bizarre, but interesting tangent...

I give you now Professor Twist,
A conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside,
One day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
"You mean," he said, "a crocodile."

-Ogden Nash

On Edit: Whoops, I didn't get it all...

[Jim Warren]

6. Hilarious

all right, I said no need to reply but THAT was too good, made me laugh out loud.

Where's it from, would make a good sig.

BTW welcome to DU. (think that's the first time I said that)

[shraby]

7. Here's another Ogden Nash

There's been an accident they said
Your servants cut in half he's dead
Indeed said Mr. Jones and please
Send me the half thats got my keys.

[AZCat]

10. Oooh, that one's good

I find these positively delightful.

Wouldn't it be weird (and nice, for a change) if we had a president who thought and talked like Nash? I bet more people would tune into his speeches then...

[girl gone mad]

8. Just an old fashioned astronomy student..

I developed my nocturnal habits when I was still a kid, sneaking out at night to wander the streets of suburbia. I love spending time in NYC, but I wouldn't want to live there because having a lot of other people up and active at 3 am takes all of the fun out of it. :)

9. Listening to Ray Taliferro

great liberal talk radio. It's "only" 1:40 AM here in the west.

[Jim Warren]

11. right

sorry if the post was east coast centric, edited the subject.

[blackcat77]

12. I've been sitting here trying to figure out why...

...IE wouldn't play animated gifs.

Turned out it was the stupid Zone Alarm.

If I'd just assume that 90% of the stuff that's wrong is somehow related to Zone Alarm, it would make my life easier.

[FleshCartoon]

13. I just keep...

...going to sleep on the wrong side of the bed.

[izzie]

14. I just sleep at the wrong time of day.

Night has always seemed like the best time but the world here runs at the wrong time for me.I have not read Ogden Nash in years.

[doni_georgia]

15. I totally don't sleep anymore. Went to bed at midnight and got up at 4

Unfortunately this is becoming the norm for me. At least I am a school teacher, so I only have 5 more working days until I get 5 weeks off - HOORAY!

[FleshCartoon]

16. I'm having trouble sleeping lately, too.

And my appetite's gone off.

I think I'm just worried about a lot of things.
