Silly-ass dream

[Bossy Monkey]

I was in a store, which as usual was the size of a small town. For once there weren't any cars driving around inside at least. There was, however, an escalator a mile long. When I got off the escalator, I was in the blue jeans section and had a brilliant idea: a slogan to go on blue jean butts! It was the greatest slogan ever! It was going to make my fortune! I would have it made!

So I asked Wendy & Lisa. Younger readers or anybody not afflicted with "Jeopardy!" memory can be forgiven for not knowing that they played with Prince in The Revolution before going, uh, soli. In real life, I have no recollection which one's Wendy and which one's Lisa. In the dream, Wendy was the guitar player and Lisa-- um, I sort of substituted the character from "Saved by the Bell." At this point, my dream featured narration. (Hey, I spare no expense in my sleep.) The narrator detailed Wendy & Lisa's recent credits, some but not all overlapping. One (in my sleep) is in the house band on "American Idol"--do they actually have a house band on "American Idol"? And there were a bunch of fictitious movies. Wendy, or anyway the guitar player, was stuck in time at the "Kiss" video; then again, so am I in so many ways. She liked the slogan; Lisa, not so much.

The slogan? All the news that's fit to print is written on my butt. Yeah, I was disappointed, too. In fact, awake me was actively pissed off, because in the dream I was totally convinced that this was the route to wealth and fame. Awake, I can easily see that a) it wouldn't fit on most people's butts; b) anybody with a butt it would fit on wouldn't likely want to call attention to it by writing on it; c) nobody puts writing on jean butts but on sweats; d) the New York Times would sue; and e) it's a crappy slogan to begin with. But it was kind of cool when it was going on, and anyway, how often do you have a silly-ass dream, literally?

2. I could go for the becoming rich and famous part coming true

even if it came from writing on people's butts. Stranger things have happened! (Granted, not many.):P

3. I had a dream the other night, also with an "American Idol" reference.

Two of the contestants on the current season of "American Idol" are Megan and Anoop. Megan has already been voted off the show, but Anoop (the guy from India) is still on it. (And yes, American Idol does have a house band, led by Rickey Minor. But they often bring in additional musicians and/or backup singers for certain performances. The other night they had a harp and harpist on the stage. And when a guest star appears on the show for a one-time performance, they bring their own band.) Anyway, back to my dream:

I went to Sea World with Anoop, Megan and a small boy who spoke only French and was dressed up in his "Sunday best." He kept saying, "Shamu! Shamu!" So the boy and Megan went off to see the Shamu show, and we agreed we would meet up with them later at the pearl diving pool (an attraction that the Sea World in San Diego did have years ago.) Anoop and I decided to just walk around. We agreed that we would meet up later at the pearl divinThere was a large slide that ended in a big pool of water. Anoop went down the slide and came out of the water, but was totally dry, none of his clothes were wet. He did it several times to show me that it was some kind of special water that didn't get you wet, but I believed it was Anoop's ability to stay dry, rather than the water. So I didn't go down the slide. It was the day before Christmas and I said we need to find a Christmas tree before we leave. So we split up and were looking around, then Anoop called out to me. He had broken off a triangular piece of a wooden gate, a lattice-type gate that expands and collapses. He showed it to me, expanding and collapsing it, and said when we get back to the hotel we can set it up and everyone can decorate it. Before I could answer I woke up.
