Etymology: sleep deprivation, vision

COMMENTS:

I can't decide if your artichoke cultivation is big and brilliant (like the lighting system required to run such a thing) or dark and scary (there's got to be a reason why basements figure so boldly in murder movies) - petaj, 2007-04-09: 04:58:00

Oh and nice work with sleep deprivation. I went down that path, but no lightbulb moment on fitting in the idea bit. - petaj, 2007-04-09: 05:00:00

The lighting system did throw me a curve, as did where I would relocate my washer, dryer, furnace, and resident spiders. - purpleartichokes, 2007-04-09: 05:59:00

COMMENTS:

I love this word except for it makes me think that perhaps the reason for being awake is considering mullets. But it would have had my vote if I hadn't voted already. - playdohheart, 2007-04-09: 04:37:00

Or considering midgets, or midget mullets. - petaj, 2007-04-09: 04:51:00
