buffalo on the highway...
Mar. 7th, 2003 09:04 amYes, I am here, with a bizarre dream to share with you. It involved driving through Dallas. And, um, buffalo.
So we were driving down the highway in Dallas (me, my mom, Luan, and some guy from my history class), an elevated region of highway through downtown, and we noticed that all the buildings along the sides of the highway were really hideous. The guy from my history class, who apparently lived in Dallas, told us that, during peak tourist periods, they disguised the hideous buildings so that surprise at their hideousness wouldn't lead to highway accidents. We then drove into a little covered, enclosed region of highway, which literally had a door (open) across the front of it. Inside we saw a guy sleeping on a mat, dressed up like Davy Crockett, under a buffalo-hide blanket.
That's only the beginning.
We passed through another door, into the next enclosed area, and suddenly had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the two buffalo that were crossing the highway. They walked off through the wall, and behind them was a hyena. The second buffalo looked behind him and, in a voice of alarm, said, "Hyena!"
We drove on. Next enclosed area. Doors close behind us; doors in front of us are closed as well. We get out of the car, confused. The buffalo (but not the hyena) reenter through the wall, this time accompanied by large numbers of tiny cuddly pigs, which they appear to be herding. Then a cow walks in, accompanied by large numbers of tiny cuddly cows. "Oh, great, more livestock," mutters someone (the enclosed area is now kind of crowded). Then the guy with the buffalo-hide blanket walks in and explains to us that these are, in fact, his livestock. He opens the doors for us and ushers us outside, where suddenly, we are standing outside a building, among trees, each of us holding one of the tiny cuddly pigs. The man explains that he is a volunteer here and uses his livestock to teach people about the pioneer life.
What the fuck does this mean? What's with the cuddly pigs? What... just what?
