7. Laughs??? Well, there's more below.
I'm actually in the dyssomnia faction of DU. I work for myself and start at 12:00 noon so this is about my outer limit. This should be worth a few chuckles; plus the main site is just hilarious. You've probably seen it but what the heck.

16. Yep, and all you turbo charge day timers will jest have
to git use to it....

Seriously, it's the only time I feel as if I can connect....

you see, I multi task, as many do, while posting so if I get distracted for ten or fifteen minuets, off the front page my thoughts go and i am thus sent to wondering through the valley of page 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..... looking for that tidbit I was meaning to read, that tid bit that would make my life complete.......

But in the night, the sweet sweet night, when most of the world slumbers on without a care, we few stay here and defend democracy and the social contract with PM witticism and sly innuendos and clever plays on words....

Oh, yes, we are the ones who keep the whole thing floating on, on toward the dawn when the normal people take up and pick up the pace while we sleep the decadent sleep of the ones who got out of the system before the system got out of us.......

What a piece of cheap sci fi crap that was, huh,,,,,,,,
