STUPID O'CLOCK?
Another mylottian used this expression and it kept me laughing all morning, so much so, that I just had to steal it.
My apologies and thanks to Mr.Fish, as I stole this from you.
So, do you get your best epitome's or revelations in the middle of the night, or do you do the stupidest or silliest things then. Or is there a time during the day where you just get the dosey's?
Or any other ?? O'clock you found interesting, significant or amusing, please share.
Is there a smart O'Clock? Or a neat O'clock? Or even a boring O'clock?
Tell, tell, inquiring minds wanna know.
WE NEED TO KNOW!!
Jokesters welcomed and in fact, encouraged here. Let's have some fun.

"Stupid O'Clock" is pretty much ANY time that I'm running on vapour only and going through motions completely devoid of any common sense. This is sually very late at night when I SHOULD be in bed, but I sit here like a trained monkey typing away..... It's also stupid o'clock the second I decide to try and offer fashion advice to my Wife, expect to get a straightforward answer from an employee and when I think I can call a local Cairo food delivery place and order something in English! (It's stupid o'clock AND time for a parade when you phone up a pizza parlor, order a large pizza, lasagna and cheesecake in English and then somebody turns up at your front doorstep with a 6 pack of scourers and a goat!)
As for your other "o'clock's", it's smart o'clock whenever I have an opinion on something (except fashion of course!); neat o'clock for my Wife the minute I leave the house; and it's boring o'clock when my Wife switches the TV channel to Oprah, Rachel Ray, Tyra or Dr Phil!

Well, this really isn't what I'd call funny or even amusing, but it's Divorce O'Clock here!
Thanks to some of your wonderful advice, Annie, I just may have gotten Social Security to see that I am truly disabled. About 10 days ago, I received a letter from the disability judge, telling me that I had 10 days from the receipt of that letter to file an appeal or ask for another hearing to discuss the findings of the psyche examination report, a copy of which the judge sent to me.
The report is EXTREMELY in my favor!!! I wanted to send the judge the results of my newest nerve conduction studies, but they won't be ready until tomorrow, so I decided that he has enough information already. The psyche report said that I am SEVERELY affected by the psychological conditions stemming from my physical conditions and they would severely affect my ability to hold down "gainful employment".
So, I should be getting the judge's decision VERY SOON. It should be in my favor and, if so, that'll be the day my husband knows that this marriage is ending. There's no saving it now. He's gone too far. He ruined Mother's Day for me yesterday and he was already on thin (0.0000000012th of a millimeter) ice!
Once I get that approval letter and a check for back benefits, I'll make sure that sweet hubby leaves me, because I'm not going to leave him... it'll help me get alimony if he leaves me.
Besides, he told me he wants to sell this house and move closer to his work. I told him "Fine. Do whatever you want. That's what this marriage is all about anyway, right?" He didn't answer and I didn't press him for one. But, he still hasn't changed any, so...
All I need is some kind of income of my own and IF I'm approved for disability, that'll be enough for me to live on until the alimony starts rolling in.
So, it's Divorce O'Clock here! Please don't feel bad for me... this will be the end of an extremely unhappy time in my life and I plan to celebrate once it's over!

Oh goody a Divorce party at marti's house. YAY!
I'll bring brownies, ok? Lots and lots so everybody can have some and you can stash some away as a housewarming gift, too.
Yes, I see it as a new beginning for you. A happy ending, kinda.
Get the boys to dig that hole, and keep pointing to it every time he irritates you. That'll send him packing.

Mentalward, we don't know each other, but I'm so proud of you and happy for you. Good on ya, girl!! Disability isn't granted easily - you usually have to end up getting an attorney to get it, so you clearly must need and deserve it. I'm working on getting it too, but am still in the paperwork stage, and it's awful, so many questions, and soooooo much writing! Anyway, I just wanted to give you a hello and tell you how happy I am for you. Get rid of that husband, and get yourself a brand new start. No doubt you deserve that too. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Oooooh, how deliciously EVIL!!!
Brownies sound PERFECT!!! I haven't had a good brownie in ages, either the regular kind or those "special" kind!
Yep, celebration time ahead! I'm actually getting psyched about it! I'll be outta here before this becomes my theme song:

Midnight is the time when I reach my peak.
I get very creative and have great ideas.
There are simply too many distractions during day time.
This is no big secret.
Most office workers don't have a window.
They work under the same conditions than if it was night time.
If you are working on your computer...
You cannot be distracted by anything going past your window.
Each time you get distracted... it takes you 5 minutes to get back into what you were doing.

My stupid o'clock time, is when even a easiest spelling of a word but I can't spell it because I can't remember the spelling. Smart O'clock happened when I got a very excellent decision that made benefit all, it happened mostly when I am at work. Neat o' clock? I don't know if that happens to me LOL. Boring o'clock, would be every sunday when I am at home resting because sometimes I sleep all day and when I wake up I eat and then after that I don't have any idea of what to do, so it is boring o'clock.

Cool analogy, grecy.
I am a very good speller. Used to be in contests in school. So, yeah, if I can't spell something, it is definitely stupid o'clock for me and time to retire to bed.

I first heard the term "stupid o'clock" at the start of this year, from a man I'd dated a few times. He was referring to the time I would get up every morning during the week (between 6 and 6:30am).
My stupid o'clock tends to be more past 11pm or closer to midnight. The more tired I get, the more giddy I get, and the dumber things I say (yes, it DOES happen that I can get worse! ).

He wasn't insulting ME per se, but getting up at that time in general.
Then again, if he WAS insulting ME... it's a damn good thing I dumped him, eh?

Okay, I get it then. He just didn't like getting up at that time, thought it was too early.
Did you read James's response? I just knew he would spice up this convo.

Was he insulting you, saying that you were daft in the morning?

Aah! I love that expression! Stupid o'clock would be around 2 or 3 am for me. That's when I'm ridiculously tired/silly and I think everything is hilarious.

Yeah, me too. Right around 3 - 3:30, I need a chocolate bar or a snack to keep me going or I fade and get quite lazy.
Grouchy O'clock for me is PMS time. The husband is on his "BEST" behaviour then, cause he knows I'm likely to bite his head off and shyte down his neck. *giggles*
Good response, thanks scarlet.

It is pretty much my standard response when someone pisses me off during THAT week (PMS). The husband tends to walk around on eggshells making peace offerings to keep me from actually doing it around that time.
It is comical and helps to get me through the misery.

Stupid o'clock is that time when you've been up so long that you start thinking if it is worth going to bed at all! I regard any time within the 24 hour period as potentially that time. Like now even when Ireally ought to be out in the garden but think that it might rain. There's not a cloud in the sky and the sun is beating down!

I kinda thought that's what you meant to sparks yesterday, or should I say..this morning....really, really early, or was it late, late last night.
Yes, I should be out in the garden today, too. It rained on Saturday, all day, so we've had quite enough of that for awhile as far as I am concerned. Still puddles to that effect, in fact.
Maybe I will actually get a bit of garden work done today after these responses here.
Kisses sweets and thanks for the inspiration. Today, you were my muse. This discussion, after all, was because of your brilliant wit. And I can even hear your accent through the keyboard, too. It is quite sexy.

Yes, our dear Pikey said it in another friend's discussion and I had never heard it before, so I was laughing all morning at it. Just thought it was truly hilarious! So, I just had to share it and figured some people would surely come up with some pretty funny responses as well.
Welcome to mylot.
Blessings.

It's a play on words. So, if English isn't your first language, it may be difficult for me to explain. Um, maybe someone else might chime in and help. That's what discussions are for, after all.
