Mix your cheeses at your peril

Cheese, alco­hol, a fever and decon­ges­tants make inter­est­ing bed­fel­lows. On Christ­mas Eve I had a ver­i­ta­ble tri­fle of a dream, unwrap­ping in lay­ers and slip­ping seam­lessly from one unlikely sit­u­a­tion to another. So — in order — we have a game of Roller­ball except instead of a rink, the arena is col­losal — at least the size of that char­iot race thing in Star Wars Schmar Wars. And instead of motor­bikes there are tricer­atops (Arthur, exem­plar left). And the sides are Allies vs Axis 39–45.

So far, so hum drum. Just another blog about a dream you’ll never have. But wait. Dur­ing the game a big sphere is fired into a lake. Inside the sphere are peo­ple, but they can­not breathe until they turn on the reserve sup­ply, which they do not know is laced with hal­lu­cino­gens. When the peo­ple are released from the sphere, they reveal them­selves to be.… the Teen Angels from Cap­tain Cave­man.

It went on, but you get the gist, and I’m cut­ting into valu­able tea-drinking writ­ing tea-drinking writ­ing about tea-drinking time.
