A.C. TOUR-DREAMS. :(

And I had no ideas what it meant.

[actourdreams]

Once you mentioned that I had a hard time unseeing it. XD

[sinneahtes]

I kept thinking "ack-toor dreams" and wondered if it was something along the lines of "dreams of (some French-like word I can't understand)", heh. Funny how our brains read...

[actourdreams]

What I've gotten from this meme is that pretty much nobody looks at it the way I do. :P

[casatthedisco]

I've been mispronouncing this the whole time. I thought actour was a UK spelling of actor (even though I realize only now that that makes no sense because I've seen the word actor written by UK writers before) and I've been pronouncing it kind of pretentiously like AK-tor. I think I subconsciously assumed you were into acting.

[actourdreams]

Well, actor dreams are cool too! Although I don't think I have any talent for them. Never been in anything theatrical since some Gilbert and Sullivan productions when I was young.

[casatthedisco]

You've got me beat. Other than one meeting of my high school's improv club, I haven't gotten near the stage.

[kuzujuk]

I actually knew what it was and where it came from! I think you must have had it as a googletalk status at some point.

[actourdreams]

Haha, if you've been in my vicinity sometime during the last four years you've probably encountered it at some point.

Or elsewhere. It's pretty much his most well-known quote.

[kuzujuk]

I have, and I had that one summer of Lawrence-and-Bell as my history curriculum.

It's a pretty good one, so.
