I dreamt last night that we stole a city bus in Victoria. Though our reasons for taking it made perfect sense at the time, later as we realized that people thought that the bus was in service and expected us to hit all the stops, we were all like, "Dudes, why did we steal this bus?" Suddenly it didn't make as much sense to be driving a stolen bus. What's worse, all the passengers on the bus expected us to follow its normal route, but I had no idea where it went once it left Quadra St. Also our ultimate destination was actually in the opposite direction.

We eventually ended up ditching it in a downtown department store. Through the magic of dubious dream mechanics, we drove it in through the entrance turnstile (not sure why the store had turnstiles at the entrance). We were confronted by an exasperated store security guard who berated us for bringing a bus into the store, and pointedly informed us that it would not fit through the exit turnstile. We asked him what he wanted to do with the bus, and he told us to "just leave it here. This happens all the time. They'll send somebody around for it later."

True to his word, there was another stolen city bus already parked to one side. We were just backing our bus in beside it when I woke up.

"just leave it here. This happens all the time"

I almost squirted milk right out of my nose, except I wasn't drinking milk.

I smell another Hollywood movie script!!!

I don't know where my brain comes up with its ideas for some of the surreal dreams I have sometimes.

There's another little detail that I forgot about when I wrote about it here. When I got behind the wheel of the bus, I noticed that it had three pedals, even though the bus was an automatic. One was obviously gas, and another was obviously the brake, but the third pedal didn't seem do to anything. I pumped it several times to see what it would do, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Finally somebody came back onto the bus (it was either you or atara) and informed me that every time I pushed that pedal, a sign on the top of the bus lit up announcing that it was stolen. D'oh.

You know, if that third pedal became a law, I have a feeling that fewer vehicles would be stolen!

The third pedal works better if you load the rocket launcher first. Clears out traffic in front of you beautifully!

Dude I so wish I had that dream!
