Wait… Is it “I lay awake,” or “I lie awake”?
Definitely I lie awake as 'lay' is the past tense and your statement didn't quite seem to be past tense.
However, it does seem in the U.S. that lie is very rarely used anyhow so it's probably still correct.
Do you guys think a "Peter Hyams Appreciation Thread" would garner such praise?
No, cause I would be a troll by saying "Stay Tuned was his best movie ever, suckers!"
(Which it was.
The man whom even my cat Attila knows must never be mentioned within the walls of Castle Briggs.
Jack, at the risk of sabotaging your amicable feelings toward this thread, not that I would do such a thing, because, really, I’m happy as a clam that Max, not I, started the first thread to receive the Jack Briggs Great Thread™ award (and certainly not to mention that my own contribution to this now, literally and officially, great thread was considerable in both quantity and wit, though my humorous setup and callback at the end appears to have been lost on some), and along with the risk of correcting a writer – though I, unlike someone else whose name I won’t mention but who has popped in here on more than one occasion, would never pander to someone’s ego for some stupid, made-up accolade just because he’s a writer with administrative authority over this forum – who has been published in respected journals, I believe that should be “who,” not “whom.”
Oh, and Max, sorry about not catching you, even though I was standing right here. You see, just at the moment when you asked for someone to catch you, I was thinking about reaching for my coffee, and, well, you know.
Ass-kissing, indeed!
I didn't like 2010 either. Blechhhh!
You forgot the first rule of Castle Briggs: Never mention "the Peter Hyams thing" by name.

I mentioned the excrement by name, not the excreater.
