I Dream of a Genie... and Sasha Grey

There are few things more boring than listening to someone describe their dreams. Except maybe reading about someone's dreams. So last night I had this vivid dream...

I was watching a college football game though the stadium that was more like a high school field, most specifically either Blountstown or Bristol High's stadium in Florida. (I've always had a hard time differentiating those two places because they are very close together, and whenever I drove out to cover a story at one school, I'd wind up hitting the other one, too, so they are kind of the same place in my head.) The visiting team was Texas A&M and the Aggies were winning 54-0. The home team was repeatedly throwing passes into the end zone from about its own 30 yard line and having them batted down.

A woman sitting beside me was trying to tell me how good the team was and that they still had a chance at winning, at which point a receiver managed to pull down a touchdown pass and reassure her she was correct.

She went on to brag about how great the school and the other schools in its conference were. She sited as an example that one of the other schools in the conference was where they shot the classroom scenes during season 4 of "House" where he was selecting his new team.That made it the envy of all the other schools.

This particular school's pride and joy was it's Vegas-style show starring the Temptations (including two original surviving members) called "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." I know "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is a Stevie Wonder song.

The plot of the show was about the Temptations building a huge bomb and turning to a genie for assistance. The actor who played the genie sat in a large glass enclosure near the ticket office making faces and growling at people who walked by to help promote the show. When he needed a break, a sign sat in the enclosure explaining that the genie was off finding parts for the bomb.

Beside the genie's enclosure was a display of photos of the show and a video that played on a loop, featuring a musical number by six topless USO chorus girls with their faces and torsos painted like American flags, a la Nuke's face from Daredevil. Two of the women were Sasha Grey and Carmella Bing.Their song was about being recruited for the USO, being told their pretty faces could help the nation. The chorus featured the line, "On a pretty daaaaaaaay, I heard him saaaaaaay."
