You can lay yourself down (you can lay anything down), but you must LIE down. "lay" requires an object.

I have been mantled by my own evil twin.

...a good lay is not the same thing as a good lie (or at least not always) :)
However sometimes a good lie will lead to a good lay, n'est ce pas?

>evil twin.

Who? Or are you offering to fill the role? If so, thanks. Max told me you work in marketing, so you're halfway there already.
