The furry claws of your dank subconscious...

...beat the living hell out of me last night. And I haven't even started the chapter on Freud! (Or would that be Jung?)

After a fitful night involving a horrifying dream about a tongue-ectomy- and the subsequent trauma of trying to retrieve my tongue*

while it crawled away from me on the floor (!)

::faints::

I woke up with a stiff neck so wretched I can hardly turn my head to the left, and mental imagery so foul that it'll take hours of Playstation 2 to erase.

I think the worst part was that it all seemed ... merely inconvenient in the dream. Don't ask me what I thought I was going to do after I caught the damn thing - and only now, in waking life, does the full horror of it come to me.

(*By the way, did you know that in dreams, retrieved tongue tastes faintly of crunchy, oniony coleslaw? Yeah, I hate me too.)

You know, a guy like me, being married to the love of my life and whatnot, really should not be having certain things running through my head after reading this post.

(So to where should I return the tongue when I'm done with it?)

Everyone who absolutely, positively, CATEGORICALLY did not see that coming from miles away - can I see a show of hands? Just me then? Ok, carry on...

I suppose I'm relieved to know that, in your dream, it didn't taste like my grandmother's tongue* anyway.

* - I only went there to keep Kimberly from beating me to it.

Paging Kimberly. Kimberly to the tongue thread, please.

Are you guys sitting down?

Mark's grandmother's tongue didn't even occur to me. I was too wrapped up thinking about what the dream meant. I must be losing my touch. I blame FEMA.

Also this would make a great tagline:

Paging Kimberly. Kimberly to the tongue thread, please.

I second the vote for making "Paging Kimberly to the tongue thread" a tagline. And not just because we know it would get plenty of use.

Ahem. I need to go now.
