Philosopher Of The Night Mugs

Joe's Bar - if you're trying to find yourself, maybe you're in here.

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

'I wasted half my life perched on top of a mountain in the Himalayas. Only to discover that the true meaning of life was a night in watching the box, with a few cans of lager.'

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

Lemniskate

"The overthinker"

That midnight hour when fleeting memories come home to roost.

'That reminds me of the blind date I had last weekend!'

"My feeling is that while we should have the deepest respect for reality, we should not let it control our lives."

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

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

'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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

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!

"You could always make me laugh but you didn't."

Thoughts of Stephen Harper...

Insomnia.

That's a street lamp, Steve.

"2 glasses of wine at lunch, I think I'm Socrates..."

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

The dark side of the moon

"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."

Siggy

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

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

'Frank! Cut that out and get back to work!'

"I had a dream that I was awake and trying to sleep and now I don't know what's going on."

'It depends on whether you see yourself as yesterday's man, today's man, or tomorrow's man.'
