Night-time Thinkers Gifts

'Sometimes late at night I'm not sure the leading economic indicators know where they're going,'

"You go on in, I’m just going to catch up with the moon for a few minutes."

"The overthinker"

'It's midnight, do you know where your brain is?'

"Why is it always me that has to get up just as I'm falling asleep to do things I forgot."

"Looking at you, the moon and beyond, don't you think we could start a blog?"

That midnight hour when fleeting memories come home to roost.

Pachyderm insomnia.

Night-shift entrance

'So, ten thousand pounds could be yours if you call in and answer this question...Why the hell aren't you in bed?!'

"Goodnight, Dan, you handsome devil!"

'Mummy, can you please pull the curtain and make it dark please? I'm scared of the light...'

"I suppose you're wondering why I've summoned you here at 3 AM, minion." "I try not to wonder." "After crunching the numbers, I've determined we'd increase profits by being open 24/7." "We're in the suburbs. Everyone's asleep." "Not true. By being closed at 3 AM, we're missing out on the potentially-lucrative Igor the Wino clientele." "Go to the alley and give Igor a 1-for-the-price-of-2 coupon." "Very bad man."

"Let's go to sleep so that when we wake up today will be tomorrow."

"Honey, wake up. I had that dream again where I wake up and you get angry at me for waking you up."

Colin kept a notebook by his bed to write down any ideas he had during the night... "Genulph hyu donkey slapperthwaite."

"Someday, son, a giant conglomerate will find a way to harness the moonlight and make us pay for it."

"I also have trouble sleeping. I don't understand why. No one I talk to seems to have any trouble falling asleep."

Insomnia.

Expired, expired, expired, expired, expired, expired.

Tomorrow's another day, he thought, unless I get lucky and sleep right through it.

"The idea at 3 am. The idea at 7 am."

What are you doing up, mom? Big meeting tomorrow. Must be prepared. It's one a.m.! Go to bed, young lady. You need your sleep. It must be late. I heard my voice coming out of your mouth. Scary!

Thoughts of Stephen Harper...

That's a street lamp, Steve.

'I'm going to the library to study, so don't wait up.'

'I know these safety meetings tend to run very late, however... '

"We prefer our idea people to present their ideas during office hours."

"The magical time of night when the artist awakes, not with any idea, but with the murky recollection of an idea from the previous day that was not written down and is now lost forever."

"Must you bring your work to bed?"

"Wake up, baby. I just realized how my insomnia is all your fault."

"See, Timmy? No boogeymen under your bed — they're all out there."

"It's 2 A.M. Do you know where your p***s is?"

"Ask not for whom the refrigerator hums..."

"I dreamed my parents were still alive."
