    I can’t sleep; tell me a boring story

    I’m a chronic insomniac; I’m usually up until midnight or one AM, no matter when I have to get up. Just my nature. But tomorrow I have to get up early, so can someone please tell me a boring story so I can crash soon? Thanks.

    Yeah, that’s pretty boring; thanks. But I still have some active little grey cells. Someone deliver the final blow!

    Damn, you corrected your typo, which made me pay attention, which woke me up. Right back where I started. ;-)

    Wine isn’t helping either. I tried reading a shitty book, but it wasn’t dull enough.

    Hmm... here’s a start:

    It’s late, and you’re still awake. Allow us to help with Sleep Aid, a new series devoted to curing insomnia with the dullest, most soporific prose available in the public domain. Tonight’s prescription: “How Mechanical Rubber Goods Are Made,” first published in the Scientific American Supplement on February 13, 1892.

    Well fuck me, I now know how seamless rubber hoses were made in 1892, and am still wide awake. Not a fair trade, in my opinion; help!

    I don’t know what that is, but maybe you could hit it over and over in your head, like counting sheep?

    It's this drop on Bob's trail. It's not a big deal. Ive done bigger ones, but I crashed hard on this one and now I'm afraid.

    “Fear, like lack of sleep, is in your head.” (I just made that up)

    I’m going to go lay down now, and hope for the best.

    This is amusing. Are you on your phone? Install twilight and crank the dimming and red balance way up

    Type Glademaster into the TGR search box, that should do it.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    Andrew's out right now. He's at the gym so I'll tell you a story.

    Andrew was about 4 at the time, and I used to pick out his clothes for him in the morning. One day he said he wanted to dress himself. So I went downstairs and waited to see what he was going to wear. He finally came downstairs and he had on green pants, a green shirt and green socks and a look of pride and accomplishment on his face. I had all I could do to keep from laughing because each green was a different shade and he looked like Kermit the Frog. He had skinny legs and arms like Kermit.

    I also shed a tear in my heart because I knew from then on I wouldn't be picking out his outfits anymore.

    Find some old CPA study materials. I actually gave my books to a woman who was an insomniac and she said, “omg it put me right out.” Problem is that they are so boring you actually get too bored to continue reading before falling asleep.

    Go into Ghast's reply section on his profile. You'll either shoot yourself, or your mind will melt down like warm butter. Either way, you are out
