It was in a strange context Alan. This is the exact sentence:
"I forgot I came downstairs, but I was passed out in the bathroom. The night
was finally taking it's toll. When I came to, I stumbled down, thinking I
was in bed asleep into second splan."
Not the best english, I must admit! Do you think they ran the words "second
splan" together but meant to type "seconds plan?"
