Finally, a MeCha dream The short of it: me and jonmc and peacay were chilling in my hometown in New Zealand. peacay was talking about science and jonmc about the Texas Longhorns football team. Now I know very little about football, and nothing about college football, so I don't know how that got in there. It's very strange to dream about people whom you have never laid eyes on.

I actually had my first mecha dream the night before last. Sadly, I remember very little (should've written it down), but the entire thing was in the style of an animated line-drawing cartoon (also a first). It was really cool.

wow taz. that sounds neat.

gaspode, how did you know it was peacay and jonmc? Did they wear yellow nametags? ;)

Well, jonmc's picture is everywhere. And in my case she must have recognized the bullshit pouring from my mouth in that underworld twangg.

(Oh, gaspode...in case by some miracle it wasn't bullshit and you go on to develop a devastatingly wonderous and profitable cancer treatment or the somesuch, I wish to advise that I retain copyright.)

Okay, but if it weren't for MetaChat, gaspode wouldn't have had the dream in which the miracle cancer treatment was revealed, so the new rule is "All posts and comments © their authors; all dreams © everyone here".

In the interests of community spirit building (and noting that © was invoked prior to MeCha law change) I'm magnanimously persuaded to tithe 10% of all pre-tax profits for Gaspoda® anti-cancer spansules -- beyond the 7-figure mark at the 5-year stage -- to be divided equally among the MeCha dreamteam.

Heh, see the only time I dreamt about a fellow mefioso the dream actually spelled out shoepals name.

How could one not dream about shoepal? Just remember, if you develop a kewl new shoe, you must tithe 10% of all pre-tax profits for ShoePal HappyShoe Self Defense Stilleto Pump® -- beyond the 7-figure mark at the 5-year stage -- to be divided equally among the MeCha dreamteam.

Oh no! Business talk! Run away! Run away!

I am visualizing inspector Clouseau now.

posted by taz 05 July | 07:53

I'm sure I was schooling you, peacay, so no profits for you! Heh.

posted by gaspode 05 July | 08:23

Well that will explain those mysterious red welts on my ass this morning. I've already profited.

my metachat dreams are terribly X-rated. reasons of modesty, and the privacy of those involved, forbid me to comment further

The words "terribly" and "X-rated" do not belong together.

heh. If you ever make the record-breakingly successful X-rated film, "Behind the Bunny Door", just remember, you must tithe 10% of all pre-tax profits.. blah, blah. And jonmc gets to be the fluffer.

I always get the scut-work.

i had to leave when i saw this posted but had had a puedo mefi/mecha dream too.
the only part that makes sense to write right now is i was listening to someone with hair so black it looked dyed, sprawling out in a chair, eventually sliding completely to the bottom of it with their hand to their side either holding a bottle or in a bottle shielding postion.
make of it what you will but i'm saving the x rated stuff for a different thread
