480 - Five Star H(ot)ell, Mr. Silver Relaxes Every Day After Work With A Train A Pretty Girl & Some Rope, and "To Sleep - Perchance To Wake - And Then Go Back To Sleep - Perchance To Dream"

[1:08 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
If I died and went to Hell it would take me 20 minutes at least to notice I'm not at work
[1:09 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
You never know. Hell could be unicorns and bubble gum... non-stop happy music...
You know – to drive you nuts.
[1:09 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
LOL
[1:12 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
If you were somebody that did not like the movie Robocop, your Hell could be watching it non-stop
[1:13 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I'd lie and say I didn't like it
[1:13 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
LOL
Hey hey! I think this one is enjoying this over here!”
"No I hate it. Aaaugh! Aaaaaa! I'm suffering!"
(smirk)
[1:15 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I DEFINITELY don't wanna see the sequel... >.>
[1:29 PM] 
"Please! No! Not HELL! Not for ETERNITY! What are you gonna DO? I live in constant screaming DREAD of beautiful attentive women, luxury living, idyllic cultivated parklands, nice music, and premium delicious foods and drinks! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!! GOD FORGIVE ME!!!"
"BWAHAHA!!! IS THAT SO? WELL IT'S TOO LATE AND THERE'S NO ESCAPE NOW!!! LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE FOREVER IN A FULLY APPOINTED SIMULATION OF 'THE BILTMORE' LOADED WITH ALL THOSE THINGS YOU CAN'T STAND!!!"
No! No! Nooooooooo!!!!!”



[3:26 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Now you flee
Go ahead and flee, Mr. Silver, like you always do!
[3:27 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
Flee the troglodyte light flight kite mite
kick it flynn wild wicket sping wing
[3:28 PM] 
Good luck with that...
Got totally hosed on my current ticket
[3:28 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
When you announce you're fleeing, I picture you scampering off laughing
[3:29 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
Like a masked bandit
[3:29 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Or the Hamburglar
A bandit of that caliber
[3:29 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
Tie-a-woman-to-the-tracks caliber
[3:29 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
While twirling your mustache
[3:35 PM] 
I wish
I have the top hat, but the wrong facial hair
[3:36 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
You either die the hero, or you live long enough to tie a damsel up to the train tracks while twirling your mustache
[3:36 PM] 
I also need the suit, the walking stick and the big cloak
Finished
(Flees!  [In black and white with plinky piano music accompaniment])



[8:02 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I cant keep my eyes open for the life of me
[8:04 AM] 
No sleep?
[8:04 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I just don't ever sleep well these days
[8:05 AM] 
Way back...might know it, might not...there was a very good police department comedy show called "Barney Miller".
[8:05 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Haha!
Yeah I know it
[8:05 AM] 
One of the cops said something that stuck with me
One of the others was having trouble staying awake.  So the other told him his technique he learned on long boring stakeouts (I think)
"I just convinced myself that if I fell asleep...I'd die."
[8:07 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
LOL
[8:07 AM] 
Yes, audience loved it, I loved it...until college and experiments in early drinking.
Because with little experience in amounts and results, naturally one can go a bit too far.
And those words would come back
Apparently Jack Su's joke ingrained a bit too deep in my subconscious.
"Oh no...I'm SO tired.  But if I fall asleep, I'll die."
I don't think I ever did. 
If so it wasn't permanent
[8:16 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
LOL
In the work I do at the church I've met several people who have legitimately lost that game
They fell asleep and died
Came back for round 2 tho
[8:18 AM] 
OD or systemic?
[8:18 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
OD
Nice seeing the people who have been clean for umpteen years tho
Something uplifting about a person recognizing their mistakes, correcting them, and moving on
We talked about the hierarchy of needs a bit too, in my group
[8:30 AM] 
Morning Mr. Blue: 
[8:34 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Mr. Blue, we are playing "fall asleep and you die"
[8:36 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
How do you play?
[8:36 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Don't fall asleep
[8:36 AM] 
Rules are on screen. Good luck!
[8:55 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Well if I fall asleep I could die if not wearing my BiPAP
LOL
If I don't die when sleeping without it, then I just inch myself closer and closer to death
with all the stress it puts on my body
[8:59 AM]  Mr. Blue:  
It's like SIDS but for adults
SADS
[8:59 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Yep
My report says I do stop breathing, but mostly I breath very very very slowly
Which is why I think I do well in conditions of low oxygen already – my body is used to it
LOL
[9:02 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I think the chances of dying are low
But the chances of having a miserable night's sleep are high
[9:02 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Yes. But over time the stress on your body leaves you higher on the chances of dying
[9:02 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I'm not sure what the deal is with my sleeping
I can never sleep on my back
[9:03 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I cant either, I choke
[9:03 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
I normally can fall asleep in any position but I always end up on my side, and I go back and forth
[9:03 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I do flat on my stomach, usually with my arms underneath me, head ot the side.
My neck turns way more one way than the other cuz that's the direction I sleep in
[9:04 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
I just removed a pillow
I'm sleeping a lot better now with one pillow only
I think our bodies are built to sleep a certian way, and when we jack up our neck with pillows it messes it all up
I mean if we think about it, people never had pillows a long time ago
LOL
[9:08 AM] 
Fun Fact - People used to think that all the paintings/woodcuts/drawings of people in the Middle Ages shown in bed sitting up was an artistic choice to best depict the subjects.
Turns out...they just slept sitting up
Mrs. Silver does it occasionally.
[9:08 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Apes make nests in trees or on the forest floor
[9:09 AM] 
Keeps the ground bugs out of your head for one
[9:09 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Right
Most of the nests keep you upright
[9:10 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
That's interesting Mr. Silver, I never knew that
[9:28 AM] 
Its also come out fairly recently that sleeping the night through isn't natural.  Sleep aid makers don't mind the fad much.
[9:29 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah i don't know if my sleep pattern is normal. I definitely toss and turn and wake up for several minutes.  But that's what I've always done
I'm sure it's fine
[9:30 AM] 
Sleep patterns are like bad breath...of course everyone knew about bad breath, but it was just a thing.  Listerine called it a technical sounding name and now it's a condition needing cured.
[9:30 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yes
Or mild acne - "If you're a teen and you have normal facial acne you are basically a goblin, so please buy our product"
[9:31 AM] 
Rolling back on topic, it's actually normal to wake up in the middle of the night.
Pre sleep-all-night fashion, medieval people would write about how they'd get up, do their post first-sleep things -- whatever they were -- and go back to bed for second-sleep til morning
[9:33 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
These Middle Ages sleeping things are the kind of neat stuff you never learn in school
[9:34 AM] 
Nod
[9:35 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Similar to reading about how carrots were different colors in different eras
Always still carrots but sometimes red, purple or white
[9:36 AM] 
Or finding out one of the ways the Native Americans "helped" the Pilgrims survive the first winter was the Pilgrims grave robbing.
Doesn't come up much in grade school history...
[9:37 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
LOL Yeah
[9:40 AM] 
At least Columbus has been thoroughly outed
[9:40 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yes
