Fire for Rocky
It's nighttime and I am with Mickey, Rocky's manager from the first three Rocky movies. There are other people with us initially because they are carrying a christmas tree with them. It seems that someone has done something offensive to Rocky and this is some sort of revenge. Mickey suggests ramming the christmas tree up the tailpipe of the guy's car. What they end up doing is burning the tree next to the car. Mickey mentions something about hitting him with a strawberry smell. I wonder whether the tree has been coated with some strawberry flavor. Anyway, now it's just Mickey and myself. We light the tree and start running away. We run around the corner behind some bushes and start watching the fire. I mention that perhaps it isn't wise to stick around and watch. We run around a building and find ourselves looking at the fire from another direction. There are cars driving along the streets and I again suggest we get out before someone sees us. Mickey starts getting pretty nervous at this point. Every car that approaches he panics. We end up running down a dark street to avoid the cars. The street dead ends at a wooden fence. We are both pretty uncomfortable back there. I peer around the fence and see two fairly large black guys sitting behind it. I start to back away when Mickey picks up on what they're talking about. The two black guys are discussing golf or some other low impact sport. Mickey decides to join in the conversation. I'm feeling rather nervous as Mickey starts telling them that boxing is a real sport and they both need to check out the Rocky vs. Clubber Lang fight that's coming up. The black guys are more receptive than I thought they'd be. After the conversation when Mickey and I are walking away I mention that the relationship between whites and blacks has improved over the years. We continue walking down streets. Where we are going I have no idea.

This one cracked me up. Just the idea of you talking to Mickey and the image of sticking a strawberry smelling Christmas tree up someone's tailpipe. Man, you should not eat so late at night, it will mess with your dreams. It is true, I have been told that your stomach will make you dream all kinds of weird stuff. Weird thinking that the brain cares what the stomach is doing.
