Parrakarry · 07-03-2004, 12:36 PM

A success rate of 22 percent? That's GOOD?

AJ Middleton · 07-03-2004, 12:52 PM

Ok no. I could list a number of factual reasons why that's dumb.

Dark Magus · 07-03-2004, 12:54 PM

Well, that would be having the dream about one out of every five nights or so. Not that bad.

**BEARD BURGER MASTER** · 07-03-2004, 04:30 PM

Wait, wait, wait... hmm, spemd money on something that has a 22% success rate? Or for as little as nothing, try to control your own dreams, by making yourslef know you are dreaming, AKA achieving a lucid dream (Heh, lucid is my new favortite word), thus having anything happen? Hmm... I don't know about any of you, but I perfer the latter.

Super Shy Guy · 07-03-2004, 04:57 PM

well, 22% success rate is better than 0% success rate.

still not something I'd care enough to buy, though.

Juliet · 07-03-2004, 05:38 PM

Why don't you just have someone stand over your bed and whisper your crush's name to you all night?

Sim Kid · 07-05-2004, 11:05 PM

* Hot damn! It's got a 22% success rate for controlling my dreams, most of which I don't even have, or I don't remember! *

I don't see why anyone would want that. Sure, 22% is better than 0%, but if you're trying to prevent nightmares, then just use a Dream catcher. I haven't had one in years ever since I got that, and aren't Dream catchers psycosomatic(sp)?

**Prince Toad** · 07-06-2004, 12:02 AM

Well screw you guys, I want it.

Link47 · 07-06-2004, 12:42 AM

22% success rate? Folks if my math is correct (which it may not be so here it is: .22 * 7), that means that 1.5 times a week i get to bang britney spears. So that means if there are about 4 weeks in a month, thats 6 times a month. Yea, no complaints with 22%.

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-06-2004, 02:29 AM

^^^Well, it's got a built-in slow-acting alarm that wakes you up gradually, thus making it easier to remember your dreams.

[sales pitch]And it plays CDs & DVDs, and has its own online service, and a built-in hard drive, and a handheld control unit the size of a dictionary, but soon they'll make a new smaller one! Plus, it slices, it dices, it even makes julienne fries![/sales pitch]

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Juliet · 07-07-2004, 04:24 PM

Fine, have someone stand over your bed and whisper your crush's name to you over and over again, and suddenly scream it when it's time to wake up.

Heh, reminds me of a cruel little trick we used to play at slumber parties--we'd stand over a sleeping girl and whisper, "Dmitris...Dmitris...Dmitris...Dmitris...over and over again, and then suddenly yell, "DMITRIS!!!!" The girl would always wake up murmuring, "...Dmitris?" (Dmitris was the nickname we gave to our group crush. We were such children back then, and still are...)

**Dylan** · 07-07-2004, 09:11 PM

Love the Hamlet reference in the title, Cap.

^ Y'know, it kinda reminds me of "train". For those who aren't familiar with it, you and a friend pick a sleeping victim, shine a flashlight in his/her face, and yell "Train! Train!" When the poor soul wakes up, one of the pranksters commences to pummel the victim in the face with a pillow. Oh the memories...

Juliet · 07-08-2004, 08:21 PM

^That sounds like something my friends and I would still do.
