Danny J:

The Ultra-Peepy (or however it’s spelled) thing did occur to me after thinking of it for a while, since that is one of the few Zim episodes I’ve seen (I’m more of a comics fan, however.)
This Medusa creature was WAY spookier than Ultra-Peepy. It was like the most horrifying gerbil you can imagine; almost worse when it was small, since at least when it was large you couldn’t see the details if it so easily. Think like Sam, the World’s Ugliest Dog, but the gerbil equivelent. And its tendancy to talk in demonic threats and laughter just dind’t help things. I am pretty sure that within the dream it was specifically said to be a gerbil, not a hamster, whatever difference that makes.

Gratuitous congratulationses to Manimal and Womanimal as well on the arrival of Minimal. Here’s hoping he(or she) will grow up to be as much of a geek as we are.

Okay, now on to the subjects of conversation this thread deals with. I haven’t won anything big on scratch tickets, but then again I never scrached many of them. Most I won was back a long time ago, Ontario Place (or was it the CNE?) was giving away 3 scratch-tickets with admission. I remember I won 3 free tickets and $17.

On the subject of weird dreams, I’ve had plenty of ‘em, including ones with the TV acting as a soundtrack… I once fell asleep with the TV on and dreamt I was actually in one of the shows that was playing. I remember I totally freaked out at the “Rich Bitch” character. Heck, I had a dream with the Steve Harvey Show as a soundtrack earlier today!

And now, to close this post, I provide more bizarrity dredged forth from YouTube.

Many congratulations, Manimal! And welcome to the neighborhood, Minimal. Get back to us when you get the whole typing thing down. Basic motor functions are a tough skill to master, but it's mostly worth it.

Maybe tonight you’ll have a terribly written and clearly-made-only-to-get-money sequel.

Talia: Maybe it was a hamster? Ultra-Peepi for the win.

On the dreams topic, I think it was yesterday I had a strange dream where me and Jhonen Vasquez (who I only know by reputation) were fighting a giant gerbil that was attacking Hermosa Beach. Actually, it might have only become a gerbil later on, it was something big though, and I think it was named Medusa. Most of the dream was me and Jhonen wandering around looking for where the creature had gone off to, and there was this creepy cast of dread and discomfort all about while we roamed the streets. Finally we found it and there was a big fancy battle against it; Jhonen got injured at one point, but he recovered and I think it was him that maned to cause the creature to shrink down into a small gerbil, and I trapped it in a gerbil ball. After that it was my job to dispose of it, and the creature kept talking to me, saying really spooky things, and trying to make deals with me to release it.
I think in the end it had babies or something, and 2 of the babies escaped. Very classic sort of horror movie ending there.
