Crazy dream...
Okay, so I'm too lazy to retell it. Here is a cut and paste job from my instant message conversation with my sister.
1:39PM
Melissa Skipton: Guess who has a new book out?
1:40PM
Chris Meador: Christopher Buckley?
Melissa Skipton: Dave Eggers!
Chris Meador: oh
Chris Meador: cool
Melissa Skipton: "You Shall Know Our Velocity"
Melissa Skipton: I *wish* Buckley had a new book out too.
Melissa Skipton: How are things going?
1:45PM
Chris Meador: fine
Chris Meador: I had a weird dream about being in a scrabble competition
Melissa Skipton: There's a cool book about competitive Scrabble...called something like "Word Freak"...eheheh
Melissa Skipton: Did you win?
Melissa Skipton: I read it, but can't remember the title now. It was written by the sports commentator from NPR.
Chris Meador: Actually I was on some kind ol scrabble team
Chris Meador: we were hanging out in the hotel room before the competition
Chris Meador: my teammates had gone to the store and come back with all this stuff
Chris Meador: they were making scrabble boards out of slices of bread and letter pieces out of meat
Melissa Skipton: That is so bizarre, words can't express it..ahahha
Chris Meador: I was asking them what they thought they were doing
Chris Meador: and one said that she thought it would be funny to bring our own pieces in and use meat
Chris Meador: so I went off
Melissa Skipton: (snickering)
Melissa Skipton: "You can't use meat for Scrabble tiles!!"
Chris Meador: "YOU CAN'T BE COMING UP IN HERE AND BE ALL LIKE I WANNA USE MEAT"
Melissa Skipton: LOL!
Chris Meador: "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY C TILES THERE ARE IN A STANDARD SCRABBLE SET?!"
Chris Meador: "I DIDN;T THINK SO!"
Chris Meador: I guess I was like team coach or something
Melissa Skipton: That's two salamis for you, one head cheese for Bill and four proscuittos for me.
Melissa Skipton: Rah rah rah! Go meatheads!
Chris Meador: But it takes a pretty cocky scrabble player to show up and insist you play with deli meats
Melissa Skipton: That is true.
Chris Meador: Except dad was there too for some reason
Melissa Skipton: You won't get to play with meat, but you'll be the envy of the masses for your ingenuity and gonads.
Chris Meador: and when I started dumping out their bags (like from the store), a big animal carcass fell out, sort of like big foot
Melissa Skipton: Well, that's odd.
Melissa Skipton: One big-ass tile
Melissa Skipton: That would have to be, like, the prize or something...eheheh
Chris Meador: Although I was too furious about my cocky newbie scrabble team to be bothered by the minor details
Melissa Skipton: "Whose foot is this?! Huh?!"
Chris Meador: So then we were going to sleep and it was like 12 people sleeping in one hotel room
Chris Meador: and I thought, damn, we need a bigger budget
Melissa Skipton: Competitive Scrabble must not pay well. Now one of your teammates must start hooking.
Melissa Skipton: That is one freaking hilarious dream!
Chris Meador: Well if they hadn't blown untold amounts of cash on deli meats///
Chris Meador: I should have my dreams analysed by a psychologist
Melissa Skipton: Probably the good stuff, too..Boar's Head and such
Melissa Skipton: Make and appointment with Randy. The "doctor" is IN!
Chris Meador: 5 cents
Melissa Skipton: Right!
Chris Meador: I concerned that if I actually told people about my dreams, I'd be involuntarily committed
Melissa Skipton: It's the Baker Act for you!
Melissa Skipton: No more ham dreams
Melissa Skipton: Moon Over My Hammy...why is that so funny to me?
2:00PM
Chris Meador: I dunno.
Melissa Skipton: Well, one month til moving time for you
Chris Meador: Did you see the Brak show where he feeds the goldfish three hams?
Melissa Skipton: No, I must've missed that one.
Chris Meador: http://www.c4vct.com/kym/sg/brakshow/goldfish.htm
Chris Meador: Three hams will fill him, three hams will thrill him, why don't you feed him, three hams! o/`
Melissa Skipton: Oh dear. Thanks for the link..I'll check it out. When is the Brak show on?
Chris Meador: Sunday nights on Adult Swim
Chris Meador: Chuck has a bunch on the computer
Chris Meador: Including that episode
Melissa Skipton: Ah..yeah, that's Chuck's favorite show (Adult Swim)
Melissa Skipton: I think I usually miss it as I am watching HBO on Sunday nights...drat
2:10PM
Melissa Skipton: "happy as a bag of wigs"? Ok, now I've just peed my pants laughing (not really)
Melissa Skipton: Gotta run...ttyl..stay out of trouble, you!
Chris Meador: Okay
