I had a dream the other day. I just got off work, and was waiting at the bus stop and I started to hear this low rumbling. when I looked around, I saw this huge wave of water in the distant.

I had a dream once, where I ate a giant marshmallow. When I woke up, my pillow was gone.

How did you get to be a moderator here, Al? Kidnap Chris' parents and put them in a hole in your basement?

1934.25 feet here more than enough to survive the big one when HAARP really gets things moving. ;)

I wonder how many people will die just from anticipation in  this year of our lord 2012 ?

Actually, I've been favorably compared to Daniel Craig, of the latest 007 flick.

the weirdest dream I had was when I was fighting a zombie in a giant food grinder (with the spinning blades at the bottom). I got an arm & leg cut off, but the zombie guy got both legs cut off at the knees, that's when I was able to kick him in the face until he lost grip and slid down to the bottom and got chewed up into pieces by the blades.
