7. Set me up, bartender...

If you want I'll tell you all about the weird political dream I had last night and we can see if you can interpret it for me.

[Aristus]

9. Talk to me.

:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

[VelmaD]

15. Ok...here goes...

so I dreamed I was in DC at this big State visit by Russian President Putin. We were in the Capitol building. I was in the crowd.

Anyway, there were all these dignitaries and whatnot up on the dais. They were glad-handing and chatting before the speeches started.

All of a sudden this guy in the Vatican delegation dressed as a cardinal pulled out a gun and started firing. He didn't really hit anybody at that point. People started screaming. He jumped off the dais and started running out of the building...

when Tip O'Neill (of all people) stepped into the room and the guy ran smack into him. Tip tried to talk to him and calm him down and the guy shot him point blank in the chest.

By this time, the Capitol Police had managed to get to him and they subdued him. Surprisingly they did not shoot him (though the Secret Service did not look happy about that).

Anyway, any thoughts on the deeper meaning of it all?

[Aristus]

17. That's pretty weird all right, Vel. The weirdest part was the

Cardinal taking out a good old Boston-Irish Catholic good guy like Tip O'Neill. Could it be because good old Tip didn't always toe the Vatican Papal line?

Was Putin the target? Is it because Eastern Orthodox still beats out Catholicism in Russia?

[VelmaD]

19. I have no idea...

I honestly don't think the person in the Cardinal outfit was really a part of the Vatican delegation but was using it as a disguise. Don't ask me why I thought this while I was dreaming it - I don't know.

My current theory is that Tip was just a stand-in my brain used for the current majority leader and I really just want someone to shoot Tom DeLay. (Note to FBI - this is in no way intended as a threat...realy, seriously, I mean it, cross my heart) :-)

[JohnKleeb]

20. and I thought I was weird j/k Velma you arent

I was asleep in class one time and I felt like my brother was gonna punch me in the face but I woke up and I was like whoa dude I am in school.

[VelmaD]

25. Oh, I am too weird...

and proud of it. :-)

[Aristus]

21. How could Tip O'Neill EVER be a stand-in for Tom DeLay????????????

Wouldn't happen, Vel, my friend. Still, that dream's good enough for a free drink. :beer:

[VelmaD]

24. The mind works in weird ways...

and it was just a passing thought. I'm willing to entertain alternative hypotheses.

*sigh* Why can't I just dream about sex?

[Aristus]

26. I dream of sex every night.

Even if me and the wife have just had it. I'm insatiable. S'Okay, so's she! ;-)

[VelmaD]

28. Well, to be honest...

I do too most nights. It's just that last night's sex dream went from hot to distressing. The sex part was just spiffy. It's just that everyone on earth kept showing up and interupting the proceedings. Most frustrating.

[Lady Freedom]

[Aristus]

13. Here y'go, Lady.

[VelmaD]

27. Hey Little Bit...

long time no see. Nice to see your ego is still solid as ever. :-)

[leftist_rebel1569]

31. Oh, of COURSE!

Yeah, like silly things like girl troubles and Short Bus could keep THAT down...;-)

So, how've you been? I haven't seen you in a while, either...

[VelmaD]

33. I'm doing alright I suppose...

got to hear Jim Hightower and Amy goodman speak today at the Austin Green Festival. That was fun. Hightower is fuckin hilarious - if you ever get the chance to hear him speak take it.

[leftist_rebel1569]

34. I think I will...

Although such people seem to never come to MN...:(

Glad you had fun though. Sounds like it was a good time :)

[VelmaD]

35. It was a hoot...

there were all sorts of fun vendors at it selling various and sundry organic and political stuff. I got myself some new button and bumper stickers. My personal faves "Witch Parking: All Others Will Be Toad" *snort* and "One Nation, Under Surveillance".

[Lady Freedom]
