Default Any psych minors wanna take a stab...

So, I had a dream last night that I have absolutely no explanation for. It began with Mrmerlin posting a video from under his car. He was inventing some improvement to the cross brace for 928's. It was something that had already been improved on by someone, but Mrmerlin was tackling it a different way. The other person (no idea who it was) was pissed that Stan was even working on it.

At that point Jadz928 came and picked me up, took me to Mrmerlin's house. Stan was living with his mom in very much the fashion that Will Ferrell did in Wedding Crashers, robe and everything. The four of us (Jim, Stan, Stan's fictional mom, and myself) were looking at some cool new 928 parts, when Jim revealed an awesome looking radio controlled car.

Stan asked how it ran, and Jim made a remark about Stan should know all about it. Stan said he hadn't been in that scene in a long time and that Jim knew that.

Jim told him it was the most sought after car in R/C racing these days.
Then Jim revealed to me that Stan was a disgraced ex-champion r/c racer.

At that point the dream became a dramatized documentary of the story of Stan as a R/C wunderkind, at R/C training camp, and his eventual disgrace from corruption that shocked not only R/C community, but the world.

BTW, I have been sober for several days now. Any ideas?

Hacker & Gretch, I totally get it if you have to move this.

You have wasted years of your life on cars and the rennlist?

Psych is a dangerous degree or minor. It fools you into believing you know what is going on, when all you have is a blind feel from a small part of an iceberg...

That said, my B.A. in Psychology says: that is a trippy dream!

So does this mean I am not an EX champion RC racer?


I did take my mom shopping today, that was sort of thrilling,
we even got 2 loaves of bread for the price of one as they were a day old.

The last time i went shopping with my mom,
was when I was 10 YO we took a walk in the falling snow to the 7-11 for some food for dinner.

Anyhow I will say I am very happy to be home with my family.....

I think you're gonna need a psych major for this one.

The only dream I can remember about the 928 is one in which a baggage compartment somehow formed under the car. Similar to a Greyhound bus. The roof of the car had to be 8ft off the ground. Car still looked good though.

Stan, I thought it was weird enough that I had a dream about you, your mother, and your R/C's, considering that we have never met. Now, I think it is really weird that you just gave up your R/C's, and are back near your mom.

I thing Stan needs to invite you over to his Mom's house for some meatloaf.
