Dream of jelly cups / Walmart and Target pranks, anyone? / Murder irony

Had a dream where Helen C. was giving me, Auntie Fonda, and little Rachel's grandma a lot of jelly cups to eat while we were in Eunice's old house. We were also signing various birthday and Christmas cards: Mark Hainsworth (whose birthday is actually on the 12th), Uncle Richard, Hon, and various others whom I haven't seen in years. Jon noticed a stack of Christmas cards addressed to various people, but I recognized the names from our parents' Christmas card list. The dream just ended when we were busy trying to corral little Gabriel and Nathaniel! Weird... I know I have cards for the little boys, but not sure what would trigger it unless it was my prepping twenty cards with greetings and stickers last night!

Corey linked me to various pranks last night... Walmart Porn CD Prank #1, 12 Things You Can't Say In Walmart (NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR MINORS), Target Pranks - CD Prank & Banana Suit Dancing, It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!! (I LOVE THAT DANCING BANANA!), and Target Stereo CD Prank.

Janina told me just now that she got the Tim Tams on Monday; not bad if I got them out last Thursday, I suppose. Now it's time to ask Corey if he got his packages yet... we'll see.

I love this example of irony, for obvious reasons: In 1900, prison inmate Charles Justice came up with a way to improve the restraints on the electric chair while performing his cleaning duties in the death chamber. His idea was to replace the leather straps with metal clamps in order to secure the inmate more firmly and also reduce the problem of burnt flesh. Justice might have wished he had kept his mouth shut. After his release, he was given the death penalty after being convicted of murder. How was he killed? In the same electric chair with the metal clamps that he had previously suggested! (source: my Trivia Today newsletter)
