My worst nightmare …

I woke up in a cold sweat this morning after having the worst nightmare.
At some point I plan to get a new tattoo commemorating my latest daughter, as I have one marking two of the others (there’s another one in the mix I will also commemorate when I figure out just what to get). But since my youngest is named Lucille, I was going to get B.B. King’s guitar (coincidentally also named Lucille) tattooed with a banner with her name and some flowers floating around it or something (if someone wants to take a crack at designing it, feel free).
Anyway, in this dream I was going to an artist I didn’t know, but who assured me he was great, had all this experience, etc. I should’ve known better – he looked shifty, like an unshowered Eric Roberts on a long binge.
So the guy works on me, gets done, pulls out a mirror – and there, on my bicep, is a giant sloppy Rolling Stones logo with a black apple next to it and, behind it, a giant, loud banner in 70s style writing that says “JOURNEY!” Yes, with the exclamation point.
Then Shifty Eric Roberts charged me $275.
I showed my wife, who was understandably horrified. I just figured, what the heck, I’ll get it covered up when I find some more money. And don’t ask me to explain what any of this means. Other then I really don’t want Eric Roberts giving me any tattoos.

It could have been worse, Tony. It could have been Julia Roberts. She would be giggling the entire time and talking about how great she is.

Great. It’ll be Julia Roberts playing tinkerbell tonight. Thanks for that.
