Bad Blog Idea From Dream

Ian Clifton — Sat, 16 May 2009 10:35:30 +0000

In the midst of a series of bizarre dreams, my brain created one in which I blogged about the origin of my social security number. Of course, I had to give all of it as I explained why it had each number…. Sorry readers, my waking brain thinks that’s a bad idea.

Magic 8-Ball

I once took apart a Magic 8-Ball, but the magic drained out as blue liquid and all that remained was an icosahedron of disappointment.

Storms And Alarms

Earth-shaking thunder and ragged lightning: very cool; the resulting answer of car alarms going off at 2:30am: not cool at all. Dear car owner: I’m glad your overly-sensitive car alarm lets you sleep soundly at night. The rest of the neighborhood is jealous; we’re all wishing we could sleep soundly too.
