If you dream for death, you will die asleep.

I beg to differ, unless it is a metaphorical sleep in which you mean that you never truly live.

Yeah. It's metaphorical. Although, I guess you could consider it instructions for summoning Death to take your soul.

"Oh, Death, won't you spare me over 'til another year?"

Ralph Stanley - Oh, Death

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HO-SCed2vI

"Oh, Death
Oh, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

What is this that I can't see?
With ice-cold hands takin' hold of me
Well, I am Death, none can excel
I open the door to heaven or hell

Oh, Death
Oh, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

I'll rattle your tongue 'til you can't talk
I'll step on your limbs 'til you can walk
I'll blind you eyes 'til you can't see
This very hour, come go with me

Oh, Death
Oh, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

Oh Death, how you're treatin' me
You're blindin' my eyes 'til I can't see
You stiffen my limbs, makin' me cold
Run my body right out of my soul

Oh, Death
Whoa, Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?

I'll fix your feet 'til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw 'til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour, come and go with me

This is Death, I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh off of the frame
The earth and worms both have a claim

My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet are cold
Death is a-movin' upon my soul

Oh Death, how you're treatin' me
You closed my eyes so I can't see
Well, you're hurtin' my body, you make me cold
You run my life right out of my soul

Oh Death, please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand

Oh the young, the rich or poor
All alike me, you know
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothin' satisfies me but your soul

Oh Death
Whoa, Death
Won't you spare me over till another year?
Won't you spare me over till another year?
Won't you spare me over till another year?"

"If you want to live, wake up and commit suicide."? That's crazy talk, heh-heh.

Isn't it also better to die in your sleep? Assuming you're old, that is. I'm sure young people would just feel shafted.

I just want to go quickly and without pain.

And it wouldn't be too bad if it was in some spectacular way, 'cause I'm a bit of a showman.

Nemonicus wrote:*Chuckles*

Maybe they're talking about a false awakening dream. I have those sometimes, and I really hate them. Lots of the time I figure out I'm dreaming and then want to wake up but can't. I have to jump out a window or stab my hand with a kitchen knife to wake up.

John Constantine wrote:I'm sure young people would just feel shafted.

I don't think many young people would actually mind it too much. I mean, we wouldn't ask for or want it, but if it happens, that's that. Happens to everyone eventually, and honestly it seems like a pretty good way to go.

Nobody remembers the people who die in their sleep.

What they do remember is the guy who got stabbed in the ear with an ice-pick. Or the gal who intentionally pushed the button that said Danger of Explosive Decompression. Or the fella who flicked the cigarette butt into the motor pool's fuel depot before taking a swan dive into the ensuing fireball. And who could forget that hapless tourist who got dragged under and rolled by a crocodile on the Disneyland Jungle Safari ride?

Dumb ways to Die
https://youtu.be/IJNR2EpS0jw

Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicine that's out of date
Use your private parts as Piranha bait
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Get your toast out with a fork
Do your own electrical work
Teach your self how to fly
Eat a two-week-old unrefridgerated pie
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Invite a psycho killer inside
Scratch a drug dealer's brand new ride
Take your helmet off in outer space
Use a clothes dryer as a hiding place
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Keep a rattle snake as a pet
Sell both your kidneys on the internet
Eat a tube of super glue
I wonder, what's this red button do?
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Dress up like a moose during hunting season
Disturb a nest of wasps for no good reason
Stand on the edge of a train station platform
Drive around the boom gates at a level crossing
Run across the tracks between the platforms
They may not rhyme, but they're quite possibly
Dumbest ways to die
The dumbest ways to die
Dumbest ways to die-ie-ie
So many dumb
So many dumb ways to die

The next special day in Agora is Arisis (February) 14th: Sant Valta Day, the Feast of Saint Valentine.

Originating as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus, Valentine's Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the multiverse.

Peter Auty - Walking in The Air (From the animated film The Snowman, based on the book by Raymond Briggs)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31mjvrydaLM

"We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
And walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air"

How about some curried waffles?

You know, it would've been cool if Scandinavia had remained pagan during the middle ages. During the Viking age the missionaries that first came to northern Europe were very unsuccessful in converting the Norse, and by that I mean they were all killed, and the vikings were already quite used to raiding helpless monasteries. Though, if they had remained pagan that probably would've led to tons of religious wars with the rest of Europe

What say you, Saint Olav?

I think all religions should co-exist in peace :3... Either that or have all holidays suppressed so people can't practice them

Or we could just become too lazy to practice them. Honestly, how many people enjoy putting up Christmas trees and lights, only to take them down less than a month later? Most people put them up early and delay in taking them down specifically for this reason, and now we have other holidays trying to make us decorate as well. Who decorates for Valentine's Day?

I've found that as you progress out of childhood, holidays lose a lot of their glamor and start to become excuses to buy discounted holiday treats and spend pathetic lengths of time lazing around watching Criminal Minds or some other form of entertainment while trying to forget that you have things to do.

Of course; beans are a good source of protein.

Mash up a bunch of chickpeas, mix in some tajini, olive oil, fresh garlic and a dash of lemon juice and you get hummus.

*Turns back to them with their curried waffles*

Here ya go.

Looks at Nation List
How'd we get up to 25 people again? This is a cause for celebration!
