Thinking Beyond the Box

I was attending a trial in an office building. I heard crying and tried to ignoreit. My sister said I needed to do something about it because it was disrupting her work. I went and people were streaming out of a room. Inside, there was a midget woman judge who was crying because she couldn't get her computer to work. I flipped the power to 'on' and she started dancing.

I was in a warehouse while they were trying to move an unpainted SR-71 outside to use its 12 engines for a test. They wanted to see if they could melt something. There was a field crew and I knew there was also a man sitting in each engine's separate cockpits. One of the field crew flagged me down because I didn't have ear coverings and walked me around the building. It was Larry, my JV volleyball coach, and he was excited because we were in a midnight tournament in Des Moines. At the front, it was the Dittmer St. Economy Roofing. I sat at my dad's desk when Dave P. brought his VB team in to have a look around where they used to play.

I was in a living room with Eric C. and two women. The women went to the bathroom. One came out. Eric wanted to peek inside at the other to see if she was doing #1 or #2. I wanted to scare her when she walked out. I went to sit down again, she opened the bathroom door, and I was suddenly commanding a spaceship in a massive multi-player combat game. I shot down a Star Wars Corellian cruiser and destroyed special golden sensors on a ship that was supposed to be the Enterprise. Someone shot at me and I realized the knob I was using to go left/right could be pushed in/pulled out to adjust pitch/yaw and if I pushed the knob's button, my speed went to 'turbotax' mode.

I was in the middle of a a street, stuck in my car because of an accident up ahead. That's when I decided to stand on the hood of my car, pulled out my pocket microphone, and set up speakers on my trunk...and then I started rapping about the awesomeness of the Ford LTD-->and that I could get away with shooting a gun in the air, but the guy in the car next to me would get shot if showed his licenses to a cop (he was some shade of brown). At that point, a black guy who I didn't recognize but was clearly important/famous came up and said, "Not bad, but you're no Stan Lee."

I was staying at a hotel that was in a small house. I went to eat in its restaurant and it was full but it didn't match the layout in the promo photos. In the promo photos, they had three tables setup in what used to be a bathroom with blue tile walls. I asked the manager and he informed me my family's rooms would be two separate single-bed rooms and two 'non-rooms'. I asked ' Like the last time?" ...because I knew that meant two people would sleep on the floors of converted closets. In the one closet, we found my orange backpack and a LLCC VB backpack that had been left there to get dusty since our last visit.

Returning to the dining area, it had been changed to a banquet area that was full of boys. They were all in Columbus, OH for 'Boys Nationals' and one recognized me as a 'world-famous volleyball coach'. They all mobbed me. One team was from Illini Elite, another from Bucyrus, OH--those guys kept asking "Do you know Pete?" (meaning Hanson, the retired OSU national champ coach) and "Do you know if they have anyone coaching them now?" (really). The third boys team was coached by the guy who played Haggrid in the Harry Potter movies except he really was 7' and his hair/beard were orange-red. That team was from "Hanson, Missouri". One of their players said, "You've never heard of it." I answered, "I have--because a HS job opened 25 miles from there last week."

5/1/20:

I was 'on tour' with the Marines. Watched a new electric gun that looked like a soldering iron...then saw a guy get chewed out for not keeping his weapon clean while he was covered in mud (the weapon was a stick). They then made me do it and even though I was 100% under mud, I kept the stick clean and the officers cheered. Everyone then played two-person tag...while low crawling around the dining area.

5/1/16:

.I was in a hotel during the Battle of the Bulge and got called up to fight the Nazis just outside where there was lots of explosions and hand-to-hand combat. I saw Eric Idle get shot in the arm, then keep fighting with a Tommy Gun one-handed until a German killed him by stabbing him with a broomstick. I went into the hotel for reinforcements and the actor who played Cpt. Winters from Band of Brothers was there in a purple shirt and green tie and he told me to round up all the men I could...so I went to the lobby and commandeered all the men there waiting to go to the stadium to watch the White Sox...all six of them. We went to the back of the hotel and they were confused that there was any fighting...and why they didn't have weapons. I told them we'd take them from dead bodies...by the time we got out back, the war was over.

5/1/11:

I was sitting on Michelle Valenti's kitchen floor, frustrated because she didn't have a copy of the game Big Boggle in her closet. I was debating what coat I needed to wear on a ski trip with people from where I went to high school.
