OK, next one...hypnopompic...we've had hypnagogic and psychopomp, so we may as well combine them and try hypnopompic...

You know, I'll bet you are one of those people who hits the snooze alarm a dozen times in the morning, aren't you? You just love the hypnopompic state you're in so much you can't get your butt out of bed!

Me, I just jump out of bed, anthropomorphically yell at the alarm clock for its audacity and get on with the day.

"Metempsychosis" is the next one.

I will again sit in stunned silence.

The next one, indeed. Me, I hope to come back as a race horse. Being put out to stud would be way cool.

If I knew I would be reincarnated as a horse, I might be tempted to organize a bacchanalia.

Next word: "stochastic"

Someone should conduct a stochastic analysis on what the probability is of hooking up with someone on collarme.com!!!

OK, what's next...hmmm..."covinous"

I think it is pretty good example of our pigritude that we are on this message board whilst at work! We should really be working. What slackers!
