If scientists could measure the amount of sleep deprivation I currently have, they could — the scientists could, you know, do something with it. Only a select few stayed up for the entire duration of Dream 17 which aired live on HDNet this morning, and most of those people are still passed out on their sofa. After getting just two hours of sleep, I woke up to my paranoid, but overly attractive neighbor telling me that she believes there’s a bed bud infection in my building. I told her to just let those little guys live their life. Bed bugs need to sleep too.
As mentioned earlier this morning, I would compile the greatest comments from our official MiddleEasy Dream 17 Chatroom and compose a play-by-play article of this morning’s event. Basically what I’m trying to say is that I let you guys write the post-fight Dream 17 article for me. Thanks guys!

ifeelLuckyPunk (guest): imanari by whatever the hell the undertaker submits people with
