What you guys suggest is the stuff of nightmares. I'd wake up screaming, not applauding.
Well, aren't you hoity-toity hard to please!

What I experienced last night wasn't a dream, really, but a sort of grinding thru a memory barrier. For some reason, right before I fell asleep, I tried to remember the name of the key French Situationist. Just a complete blank. I could see him, the famous photo of him smoking a cigar, but no name. Throughout the night, I'd wake up and try to remember the name. Nothing, and fall asleep. And then around 3, I woke up and thought, "Guy!" But that's it. Maybe an hour later, "Guy Desrosiers! No, not right." Then when the alarm went off and I woke up, I had it: Guy Debord. No idea why I should forget the name but neat how my brain was working on it while I was asleep.
Forget it, what about even knowing it?
Ha! He's important for my popular culture class—I talk about Debord and his idea of the spectacle in my KISS lecture—and to a lesser degree my punk class (McLaren was influenced by the Situationists, and both Jon Savage and Greil Marcus really pushed the connection to explaining punk).

More seriously, ignorance of a somewhat obscure Marxist art terrorist isn't exactly meaningful.

I fell asleep around 2am and only slept for about 3 hours, but I had a brief and unfortunately aborted dream that I’ll retroactively title “Indiana Jones and the 2-Hour Journey to Hell”. The basic plot was that there was an archaeologist-type guy who had discovered a narrow cave of some sort that spiraled straight downwards to an open cavern filled with rivers of lava and some other fucked up shit that I don’t remember. We had a limited one-time opportunity to make the roughly 45-minute hike down, hang out for a half hour or so, and then climb back up. After some lengthy discussion and looking at maps, a party of 6 decided to make the rather dangerous journey. The party consisted of the archaeologist, a reporter, a photographer, me, and guess what......Doc and Rev?......you guys were there too (I think you guys made the cast in this dream because of our recent local snowfall experiences). At one point, as we dawdled at the surface near the mouth of the cave, Doc threw a tennis ball down the hole and we listened to it bouncing down. Anyway, when we finally worked up the nerve to start the trip, the archaeologist went first, followed by the photographer and reporter. Doc went next, followed by Rev and then me. Doc was wearing a beat-up Red Sox hat, Rev (because of his previous IMCT avatar pic) was wearing a stormtrooper helmet, and for some ridiculous reason I was wearing some kind of snowshoes. Unfortunately, as I plunged into the narrow opening after some hesitation, I only made it about 50 feet down the hole before I laughed so fucking hard that I woke myself up. Probably for the best, but I really would have liked to see how this one turned out.

Too bad you woke up—I was going to do something really awesome.

Maybe, but I’m picturing a Red Sox hat floating in a pool of lava. Hopefully you just dropped your hat doing something awesome. :shifty:

My Sox hat is, in fact, around 15 years old. Not even close to navy blue anymore. It's grey and sweat-bleached in places. The Boss thinks I should get a new one, but I like old and beaten up.
