Get the Monogamy Parade mug.This is when you find yourself staying up late to do something that seems like a good idea at the time, but you regret it in the morning. Most commonly this occurs during television watching.
Commedian Jim Gaffigan has brought this issue to light during his stand up routines. In particular, Gaffigan goes into detail about staying up late to watch a Growing Pains marathon. This seems like a great idea at the time, but upon waking up...Growing Pains wasn't such a good idea afterall.
So essentially The Growing Pains Paradox is staying up late for anything that seems like a good idea in the evening. However, due to the lack of sleep you regret the decision in the morning.

I honestly don't know whether to troon out or not: how will I fap to not having a dick any more if I don't have a dick? It's Blanchard's Paradox all over.

Get the Blanchard's Paradox mug.A paradox in applied philosophy analogous to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
Tenet 1 - Advice or information taken from Zeno at face value will always be wrong.
Tenet 2- Investigation or contestation of any information taken from Zeno will always show it to be correct.
Corollary to Tenet 2- When such a contest is resolved in Zeno's favor (as it always will be) the contesting party will be severely mocked.
Therefore, interaction with Zeno will always result in the interacting party coming away wronged or mocked.

A bargain leather jacket was purchased on the basis of Zeno's insistence that it was real leather. As it turned out, it was not real leather. Forty dollars was lost when a hot fork punctured a whole in it.
But mocking ensued when, despite everyone's doubts and harangues, Zeno's method for estimating hourly television power costs turned out to be completely correct.
According to Tenet 1 of the paradox, if the leather jacket had not been purchased, it would in fact have been real leather.
According to Tenet 2 of the paradox, if Zeno's method for power estimation had not been knocked, the estimates it provided would have been grossly erroneous.
