Sometimes I just don't know about my subconscious...
Last night I dreamt that the Boy and I went back to the indie/arthouse movie theater where we went a couple of weeks ago to see Milk. We bought our tickets, and then the woman behind the counter wanted to see my ID. I handed my license over, but she didn't trust it (because, apparently... we weren't in Kansas anymore...). She asked if I had a Home Depot card, and I said no. I felt like she was being bitchy, and so I basically started getting out everything I had with my name on it, from my library card to credit cards to my Barnes & Noble card (which doesn't actually have my name on it, but oh well), just to sort of prove that my license was valid, I guess.
After a bit, it finally occurred to me to ask why she needed to see my ID. The woman told me that in the theater we were going to be in, the third row from the back was indented on both sides, and the person sitting in the outermost seat had access to a chainsaw, which was to be used in the case of a zombie attack. I thought that was quite silly...
...because of the logistics: you couldn't leave the chainsaws running the whole time, because no one would be able to hear the movie. The people sitting in those end seats, then, would have to be able to start the chainsaws up, without faltering, at a moment's notice. Besides, how could we tell what direction the zombies might come from? Or whether they would be slow zombies or fast zombies? A chainsaw would be a completely impractical weapon for such a scenario!
