Last Night’s Celebrity Dream
I love when I have Celebrity Dreams.
Dreams where I hang out with celebrities.
Last night I dreamed I was at the Democratic Convention; and Tina Louise asked me to get up and speak.
(She portrayed actress Ginger Grant on Gilligan’s Island.)
No one told me I’d be giving a speech. I hadn’t even planned on being at the Democratic National Convention, so I didn’t have a speech prepared.
In the dream, Tina and I were good friends, so I opened by saying:
“Tina doesn’t know this, but whenever I see her, I think of the episode where she convinced Mister Howell she could see the future which made Mister Howell think she could make him even more rich, so whenever he’d see her, he’d say ‘Ginger money, Ginger money, Ginger money.’ So when I see her, I think, ‘Ginger money, Ginger money, Ginger money.’ And what we need is a president who will get this country back on the track to prosperity for all Americans, so when we think of that president, we can say, ‘President money, president money, president money.’
And then two women started talking loudly to each other. I said, “I have the mic”, but I lost control of the crowd at that point.
And then I woke up.
Which is just as well, because I might have said something like this:
“Are you better off than you were four years ago?!” And I would have said that with exuberance as if I expected everyone to say yes. And then done the comedy reaction where you make an embarrassed face and say: “Oh. Okay. Guess not.”
“What about this? What’s the deal with Mitt Romney?”
After pausing to get everyone’s attention, I’d say:
“Do we really need a businessman to rescue our country from its financial problems? Do we really need someone who knows how to budget, cut costs, and spend wisely? Do we really need a problem-solver?”
Again with exuberance, only this time, as if I expected everyone to say no.
And then repeated the comedy reaction with the embarrassed face, but this time I’d say: “Oh. Okay. Guess we do.”
Before the guards hauled me away, I’d say:
“Go ahead and vote along party lines. Why let the facts and common sense get in your way?”
At which point, I would have wound up in a YouTube video like that one guy yelling, “Don’t taser me bro!”
This is what happens when you catch a glimpse of the DNC during commercials and then go to bed after eating Cocoa Puffs.

Please Note: Tina Louise appeared in my dream, but I have no knowledge of her thoughts and feelings on any subjects presented herein, so nothing herein reflects on her at all. She does not endorse or have any connection with this blog post. But I do admire what she and her fellow performers did on Gilligan’s Island.
