Celebrities Who Appeared in my Dreams: Dale


I was getting ready for some folks to come over for my birthday when Doc popped his head in the bathroom and told me that Dale from Passion of the Dale was here.
"Really?!?" I asked, stunned.
"Yeah," Doc said, "He came all the way from Canada for your bithday."
"Huh," I said and started to put on makeup.
Once I was ready, I tried to decide how to best make my entrance. I went through a couple of ideas in my head before stepping into the garage and declaring, "Wilkommen, bien venue, welcome!"
Dale was sitting on the couch in our garage talking to my Uncle Charlie. He looked up and tipped his beer at me and went back to his conversation. I began to look around the garage and wonder what Dale's impression was. I knew he was judging and that he had an opinion. I was very curious. But this curousity hampered me. I couldn't think of anything to say to him or anyone else in the room. And I felt bad that he had driven all this way to be so underwhelmed. Until, of course the zombies arrived.

  1. Did the zombies come for your birthday or just a neighbourhood sweep??

  2. A few things:

    Did I miss your birthday again? Just like me to forget and then show up to haunt you in another form.

    Wow, my hair is a lot shorter now than it was in that photo. Strangely, or not, was in my own garage yesterday and today! While I was puttering around and the iTunes treated me to random songs, something from Cabaret came on. Wilkommen indeed! Only, it wasn't that song. It was "I Don't Care Much" which is not to say this is what I'm feeling right now.

    I'm constantly judging but so are we all, show no fear my dear Flannery.

    Have you seen Zombieland? It was pretty hilarious.

  3. My birthday, of course G!

    Dale, fear not: my birthday is a week from Monday...that still gives you plenty of time to get here. You can get here by aeroplane...you can get here by bullet train but just get here, as the great Justin Guarini once warbled.

  4. I always thought that Uncle Charlie tried to dominate the conversations!

  5. How can you not dream about Dale? He's dreamy.


    Sometimes, nightmare-y, but mostly dreamy.

  6. I still missed your birthday didn't I? I'll sing and see if that helps: I can dream about you, something something something mine.
