I'm going to recount for you a dream I had last night. It's really just a fragment, but it's much more complete than what I usually remember of my dreams, so you should consider yourselves uniquely privileged:
It's the US election next year, and apparently 'Kishi is running for Congress. He's also the Republican presidential candidate for some reason, but his national campaign doesn't seem to be very effective, despite the efforts of some civic-minded and scantily-clad young women I see soliciting votes on a street corner by an ill-maintained public park. They pick up quite a few ballots from citizens in passing Italian sports cars, but they're clearly disappointed--and somewhat frightened--that they haven't gotten enough for even a single electoral vote. Later, I see the first election returns on TV at some kind of nondescript waiting room, and the network--I believe it was NBC--projects the incumbent will retain his House seat in the 13th district of Georgia; the picture of the candidate on the screen is a man in his 50s who looks not unlike a younger Dan Rather, with the name under the photo being "Prince Kawaii Ryűkishi".
You may, of course, comment on my particular dream, especially if you regard it as a terrifying vision of things to come, but because I don't post or pay attention to the proceedings here very often, feel free to write on any or all of the following topics in this thread:
1) In what ways has this virtual community invaded, pillaged, and raped your subconscious mind? Be as graphic as possible.
2) Who do you like in the elections?
3) Why do you people play Mafia without the Giant Clam?
4) What does Armistice Day mean to you? How about Veterans Day (observed)?
5) [redacted]
