Dreaming of Matt McIrvin

A bunch of Kibologists, including Matt McIrvin, Sam McIrvin, and me,
were eating dinner at a restaurant. At one point, the subject of
nutrition came up, and Matt mentioned the importance of getting enough
iron in your diet. One of the other Kibologists looked unconvinced and
proceeded to deliver a long harangue about the evils of the Dietary Iron
Lobby as everyone else looked bored.

After this Kibologist had simmered down a bit, Sam turned to Matt and
said, in a low voice, 'Perhaps they would be more convinced if they
heard it from Baby Caley.' Matt nodded and left the table. After a
short while, he returned dressed as a baby; he was wearing a set of pink
full-body pajamas with attached feet. He proceeded to dance around the
room, expounding on the virtues of dietary iron. Everyone was rapt.
When we was done, everyone in the restaurant burst into spontaneous
applause -- some people were even cheering and whistling.

it's a good thing I eventually read the subject line of this post.

GO GO MATT MCIRVIN!

Excuse me, you must mean Samantha Wilkinson. There is no "Sam
McIrvin." I tried to call her Samantha McIrvin once, and she beat the
snot out of me. Then Matt McIrvin called and gently explained that
his wife feels her identity is imperiled by using her husband's name
instead of her father's name. *shrug* Whatever. I just wish he had
told me that BEFORE she beat the snot out of me. I still have rib
pain.

There is a simple reason for this mistake which I think makes it very
clear how I came to fall into this particular error:

I suck.

(The thing is, I thought of the Sam Wilkinson/Sam McIrvin issue before I
made the post, but I thought I remembered someone who should know,
possibly even Sam herself, referring to her as THE WRONG NAME. That is
the thing. That is. Yes.

(Perhaps that was in the dream, too. STUPID SUBCONSCIOUS!)

Anyway, my apologies for the error.

Not at all. You may refer to me by any of the following names whilst
you are asleep:

Schatzie
Darlissima Contadina
Shoop-Shoop
Dar Nang
Mama Smurf
Toonie

That one did always kind of puzzle me, though in my case you can be sure
my wife does not pin one iota of her identity on her mother's name. Bad
enough they have two letters in common.

Heather took my name because it's easier to spell than "Lawlor".

Lawlor sounds like someone Harvey Birdman would meet in court.

That's the worst advertisement for Diaper Burger I ever saw. How are
they going to get people to switch from McDonalds to Diaper Burger if
their commercials don't skip over the long harangue to get to the
dancing adult baby?

I apologize for the low quality
of this followup, and for my
computer's clock insisting I'm
posting from tomorrow morning
in France (all time zones have
been destroyed except CEST.)

The other followup I considered
but rejected was to just circle
your entire dream and say
"Didn't Suetonius say Nero did
that while he burned down Rome?"
I can just see Matt holding
a torch and dancing from house
to house in his pink feety pajamas,
or more properly, some sort of toga
with attached feet.
