Toilets don't have nipples! / Sonic Cherry Limeade

Had a weird dream about some church meeting - Daniel went outside to try convincing us stragglers to come inside, but we were too busy talking. He told me and a few others to come with him to his apartments near the church, so we could see his magical toilet. We were dubious, but we went with him - he did some stuff with the toilet lid and such, and presto! Two nipples appeared on the toilet, and Daniel instructed us to press them. Jeremy, Amos, others, and I took it in turn to do so - there was a wave of revitalizing water, and supreme music! Michelle came out of the living room (which was strewn with toys), and wondered what was going on. She ordered her husband to clean up the mess while she walked with us back to the church. We nearly got hit by a truck when we crossed the road because of sudden icy conditions and stupid drivers. Once we got back to the church, Jon told us that someone was going to give birth in the meeting - we looked inside and saw a section of pews cleared of people. Later, we learned that it was a man's wife in the hospital giving birth, but her husband had to attend this meeting. Interesting dream, but I'm not sure what triggered THAT one!


Sonic Cherry Limeade

Here's the signature drink from the chain that's reviving the drive-up burger joint, just like a scene out of American Graffiti or Happy Days. It was in 1953 that Troy Smith obtained the parcel of land in Shawnee, Oklahoma that was big enough to fit the new steakhouse and root beer stand that was his dream. Troy thought he'd make the steakhouse his primary operation, but as it turned out, folks preferred the hot dogs and cold drinks over at the root beer stand. So Troy did the smart thing and ditched the steakhouse to focus all his efforts on the other joint. At first, he called the root beer stand "Top Hat." But when Troy found out later that name was already being used, he came up with "Sonic" to signify "service at the speed of sound." Today, the chain is the sixth-largest hamburger outlet in the country. This recipe makes a simple, old-fashioned drink by combining Sprite with cherry juice and some lime wedges. Use cherry juice made by Libby under the brand-name Juicy Juice for the best home clone.

12 ounces Sprite (1 can)
3 lime wedges (1/8 of a lime each)
1/4 cup cherry juice (Libby's Juicy Juice is best)

1. Fill a 16-ounce glass 2/3 full with ice.
2. Pour Sprite over the ice.
3. Add the juice of three lime wedges and drop them into the drink.
4. Add the cherry juice and serve with a straw. Makes 1 16-ounce drink (medium size).
