PSA: The great idea you have at 1:00 AM probably isn't so great

[taterguy]

And it definitely doesn't merit a phone call to my house to tell me about it.
:grr: :grr:

[Critters2]

1. Sorry.

It just seemed so brilliant at the time. Of course, now I can't remember what it was.

[taterguy]

2. Lots of really bad ideas seem brilliant at the time

[Critters2]

3. The telephone was invented so that Alexander Graham Bell

could call people in the middle of the night, with his brilliant ideas.

[taterguy]

4. No offense but you ain't that brilliant

[Critters2]

5. You've never seen me at 1am.

That's when my brain kicks on.

[Catshrink]

6. au contraire

Remember the Keith Richards story? He kept a little tape recorder near his bed. One night he woke up, grabbed his guitar, and flipped on the recorder. In the morning, he played it back and heard the opening riff of Satisfaction -- and 40 minutes of snoring. He didn't remember doing it.

Kekule figured out the resonance structure of benzene in a dream....

[taterguy]

7. Richards ripped off Satisfaction from Muddy Waters

And who the fuck cares about the resonance structure of benzene?

[Catshrink]

8. Because ...

it's the heart of all aromatic hydrocarbons. That's a very big deal in organic chemistry.

[taterguy]

9. The heart of aromatic hydrocarbons can wait until a decent hour

Write it down in a journal, but don't fucking call me.

Please.

[Catshrink]

10. Okay...

I wish I could convince my cat that my head isn't a pillow at 1am.

[Jameson and Craic]

11. I'm sorry about that

[taterguy]

12. You can stuff your sorrys in a sack

BTW, welcome to DU

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear taterguy...

Turn your phone off...

Then nobody can bother you...

Our answering machine is always on...

We do that every night!

The only time we turn our phones on is when our daughter is about to deliver our grandchild...

And that's coming up...

So they'll be on!

:hi:
