On my way to St Hives I met a man with seven Hives...

[Dannyalcatraz]

About a month ago, I had a lucid dream in which I was driving my young cousin around at night in an area I know well and we passed through a MASSIVE police checkpoint, through which we passed without being stopped while he and I speculated about what was going on, until we stopped for dinner about a block down the road...then I woke up.

Nothing too unusual, at least for me.

This morning, I had another lucid dream in which I was under arrest for events that transpired that evening with my cousin something about me busting through a blockade, evading police. I'm telling them about how my cousin is a witness, getting all worked up like any innocent man being aggressively questioned in a police drama. My cousin is paying more attention to his Nintendo handheld than to the cops...

I'm going on and on about how it couldn't be me and drew a diagram of my route...then I realize I'm talking about events in a lucid dream

...and my befuddled brain finally wakes me up...just enough for me to try to make an attempt at constructing a rational argument that would convince the detectives I was innocent because they were talking about events in a lucid dream weeks prior.

The detective's "WTF?" reaction finally woke me up. But not without raising my BP, making my heart race, etc.

Sometimes, I really hate my brain.

Sounds like a scene from a comedy

Imagine.. Planes Trains and Automobiles set in the 2010.

Yeah, I know it would be like Due Date and ten other movies that were based on the same premise, but man that would be awesome.

I need to roll a die...

...And that roll gives really really really unexpected result... And somehow extremely appropriate and coincidential...

Sounds like a scene from a comedy

Or Cheap Trick's "Dream Police" made real.

Happy Turkey day my Americanski chums!

 

[Blackrat]

Ok so what is it with this Turkey holiday? It's about how you guys hired some turk mercs to hunt the indians or somesuch right?

And then the black friday is the memorial over losing that fight?

About 15 years ago, I was driving along the highway in the early morning, half asleep, with hardly another car on the road, when I came across a police/army checkpoint. This was pretty startling because they a)were carrying submachine guns, b) they were dressed in black and wearing balaclavas and c) this is England - the police don't routinely carry guns, and you just don't get army checkpoints.

I slowed down, but was waved straight through. I noticed that a van had been stopped. This was the A1 - the main road from London to Edinburgh - and there were scary guys in paramilitary outfits with guns stopping people. I watched the local news, and looked in the papers, but nothing was reported. I can only guess it was some anti-terrorism work as this was the period when the IRA exploded some bombs in that part of the country.

I remember those times. I once about 13 years back was driven back to uni using only the back roads due to bomb threats closing the motorways. London to Lancaster is not a quick drive without motorway.

Blackrat-

Silly rat thanksgiving was a coopted festival. See the pilgrims were holland before they came to america and they witnessed the dutch celibrating the legalization of marijuana in amsterdam. Hense its motivations dealing with a" big harvest," eating to an excess then passing out in a stupor.

Blackfriday commemorates the day Ted Danson dressed in blackface when he showed up some media even and wasn't lynched as a racist because "its alright I'm dating a black chick."
