Best Show Dreams?

[Denim Gremlin]

I had a dream Jon called me and asked me to pick him up at the airport but when got there Bonnie (or what i imagine bonnie looking like) had already picked him up.

I may or may not have had a Best Show dream this very week.

I usually fall asleep in the mornings listening to Adam Carolla, and leave my radio on.  Well, right after Carolla comes the Frosty, Heidi and Frank show, and I either dreamed that somebody called that show doing a Philly Boy Roy impression, or, I actually woke up to someone doing just that.  Either way, Frank killed the call pretty quick, and seemed to be hip to the idea of Philly Boy Roy.  Then I fell back to sleep.

I hope we're not about to enter some era of copy cats.

Any other FH&F listeners on here who might be able to verify this?

I had a dream of a Wurster call last year. I remembered a good deal of it when I woke up.  The caller begins, "Boy, how about this song Young Folks.  Peter Bjorn and John.  It's everywhere, huh? [this song was in very heavy rotation in Toronto - I assume it was elsewhere - and used in MTV promos]" and some small talk about Peter, Bjorn and John followed.  Eventually, Wurster has an announcement.  "I'm actually working with those guys, PB & J.  Are you coming to Sandwichstock?"
T: "Sandwichstock?  What's that?"
J: "Well, Tom, I'm putting together the first sandwich-themed music summer festival.  We've got the boys of PB&J - Peter, Bjorn and John - and I'm very excited to announce that Bread are reuniting [though I've just looked them up and discovered several of their members have passed on - my dreaming self was unaware]."
T: "That's great."
J: "Oh yeah.  We're hoping to get Hoagy Carmichael too."
T: "Like a hoagie, that's nice.  Well, first of all I think he's been dead for several decades."
J: "We'll have to agree to disagree on that.  But you know who I'm most jazzed about?"
T: "Who's that?"
J: "BLT, of course!"
T: "BLT, who's that?"
J: "Wait, you have a radio show and you've never heard of BLT?  (singing) American lady, gonna rest a while!"
T: Sorry. . .
J: Bacon Lettuce Turnerdrive.
T: (laughing) Bacon Lettuce Turnerdrive?  It's Bachman-Turner Overdrive, you idiot."
J: No, it's not.  Is it?"

That's all I remembered, but I've got to admit I laughed when I woke up and remembered it.

Anyway, I just signed up for this board.  My name's Sam and I'm from the T-Dot, home of the television shows "Prank Patrol" and "Heart of the Annex"; I'm a big fan of the Best Show and look forward to reading the board.  Thanks!

That story could be a Fan Fiction Contest entry.

Welcome aboard, Charley.  Fine first post!

Charley/Sam, I wish my regular-conscious was half as intelligent as your subconscious. Bacon-Lettuce Turnerdrive! I love it!

Also, prank patrol is from Toronto? Really? I am filled with shame.

Well, I confess that I'm going on Tom's report of his visit to Toronto - he singled it out as the zenith of Canuck culture.  I've just tried to find out where it's filmed, but no luck.  That said, I highly recommend this link from the now-back-in-business Wikipedia.  It's a story of ninjas and wizards, and I think we can all take something wonderful away from it:

I just had one a couple of nights ago.  Tom and Jon had formed a band where Tom played guitar and sang, and Jon played stand-up drums.  Kind of like Some Velvet Sidewalk.  I don't remember any song titles or what they sounded like.

I had a Wire dream last night. Not exactly Best Show, but somewhat related.

Omar from The Wire was trying to kill me - like chase me down because I had somehow wronged him, & I thought to myself, "It's just business" and I hid/ran from him in a childhood friend's house.

Just thought I'd share, since you guys got me into the Wire (haven't even watched it in a few weeks either).

[Sarah]

Much of my night was passed in Wire dreams, emily.  I don't remember any details, but I think all of them were pretty grim.  Which is surprising, don't you think?

[Emily]

hmm, weird.

cool though too.

[Sarah]

Not really.  I watched season 5 this week, finishing up the last three episodes yesterday, so it was very fresh in my mind.

I was going to start a new thread for this but then I remembered this one existed:

Last night I dreamt I owned an "I-Ron's Reggae Challenge" t-shirt and it was the best thing ever. I can still see it perfectly in my mind--there are three silhouettes: a guy doing shotput, a guy doing hurdles and a guy either smoking a joint or drumming, I think it changed. And across the bottom, the name of the band. My dream basically just consisted of me walking around in this t-shirt and everyone being like "wow, I've never heard of them, are they good?"

Guess what I want more than anything in the world, now.

This has got to happen.
And then I-Ron needs to do a dub platter of "Turlet."

I once had a dream that Timmy von Trimble and I were driving around in his Barbie Dream Car on the open road, blasting Skrewdriver.

This is probably because this douchebag on another website said this in a "What's the saddest song you've ever heard?" thread:

David Allan Coe-would you lay with me in a field of stone
Saga/Skrewdriver-The Snow Fell
Dropkick Murphys/Skrewdriver- Green Fields Of France

sorry cant [sic] pic [sic] just one

I told him these songs also make me cry but for a very different reason.

By the way, he says he's into "females, white ones for the most part, thats [sic] just my personal preferance [sic]." Also, communism and homosexuality makes him sad. And he spelled Joseph McCarthy's name wrong in his list of heroes. I informed him of this by telling him, "Hey, douchenozzle. You spelled McCarthy wrong in your profile, you creep." He hasn't fixed it or gotten back to me.
