I just woke up from a dream in which I was preparing to enter some sort of "kill or be killed" arena, along with these people I used to go to church with, and MisterDarcy and NomiMaybe were a couple, and MisterDarcy was all, "But I want to go in with you to test this new gadget I invented," and I was all, "Daniel, in the arena- it's kill or be killed."

How come dream arenas are never "kill or be fed a nice dinner"? For that matter, how come real arenas aren't like that?
@Bustie: Me, too! And he was very dapper.
@-j.: next, at 9, Five contestants enter. All five of them leave again, only one gets a piece of cake and the other ones have to eat raw potatoes.
Also, dream Nomi was wearing a lovely turquoise dress and I further pontificated to Darcy about how beautiful she was and how I was happy they were in love and he should keep her safe instead of worrying about his harpoon-with-gps or whatever it was.
@Xenu: I am not a big fan of cake and would honestly consider eating the potato. I don't have to kill anyone, do I?
You don't have to kill anyone, but if you do decide to, you have to ask permission first.
"Excuse me, Bustie? May I attempt to kill you with this harpoon-with-gps designed by dapper dream Mister_Darcy?"
"No, I'm kind of busy, here, if it's all the same. Maybe some other time?"
"Oh, all right. Thanks anyway!"
@bustie: it was, actually, kind of awesome. Even if I DID wake up this morning groaning at my own cheesy lines.
This is the best dream ever. It very much trumps my stupid dream in which a malevolent octopus was poisoning members of a family one by one in a weird flooded room.
@Mace: Whoa there, I beg to differ! Any dream about a malevolent octopus wins by DEFAULT.
Xenu: your subconscious is weird but I don't feel violated.
Bustie: of course its epic! Similar to The Time Machine... but not. Same theme kind of deal about losing someone to a grander "mission." I suppose if one were in a thunderdome/ fight club/battle royale scenario... but if one were to harpoon a malevolent octopus to save a damsel in a blue dress it would be equally awesome.
OK I AM THROWING DOWN THE GAUNTLET. THE FIRST TO HARPOON A MALEVOLENT GIANT OCTOPUS AND BRING IT TO MY FEET GETS THE BROAD.
I for one approve of dreams with GPS-enabled harpoon weaponary, esp. if I help make it.
As for the MisterDarcy-NomiMaybe pairing, well we'd be pretty awesome looking based on the fact she always dressed wonderfully and supposedly I'm dapper at times. So that's a plus. But even if its a gross idea (like eww, girls!), the whole idea of wacky gadgets and "kill or be killed" arena with church people makes this an awesome dream. An epic dream.
@Nomi & Darcy: Ok, now that you're both here, we must reshoot this dream. Bustie will write the screenplay. Go!

I'm sorry if you two feel violated- I didn't MEAN to imagine you as a couple!
