Marquette Finny debates Bill

Hello all,

Last night was yet again a wonderful night for having fantastical dreams. This one was less adventurous and more simply bizarre than ones of previous nights. The recurring theme of Abraham Lincoln seems to permeate my subconscious for reasons that still allude me, but whatever, it makes for a weird sort of connection between my slumberous thoughts.

I had two dreams last night, but sadly I only remember one, I'm calling it Marquette Finny. To fully understand this, you need some background information. Back in the good ol' days, I was a member of Croquet Club, and there was this person I played named Finny. Finny was a character who always had something to say that no one would ever expect. He was also very tall and lanky. Another character is Bill; all you need to know is that he is a small, Hawaiian boy.

Here the dream is..

I had this dream that I was in the student section of a Marquette University mens' basketball game. Like most student sections, there are a few people up front who live a die for that particular sports team. These are the guys who lead all the cheers, heckle the ref, high five the players etc. I noticed that one of them looked very familiar, and a closer investigation lead me to the conclusion that it was Finny, the Croquet player from back in the day. Only everyone was calling him 'Marquette Finny' and he was wearing a lacross pinnie made completely out of masking tape. Marquette Finny was the life of the student section, every play he went absolutely crazy. After a while, some one shouted, "Hey Marquette Finny, do Lincoln!"

Finny responded in the affirmative and somehow donned a full Abraham Lincoln costume right in the front row of the student section. The crowd loved it, everybody was going nuts for Marquette Finny. From the back corner of the bleachers, someone shouted, "I Challenge you to a DEBATE!" I looked over to see Bill, dressed as Stephen Douglas standing in the back row with an outstreched arm pointed directly at Marquette Finny.

After that, the dream turned into a black and white photo-montage of Pictures of Marquette Finny doing funny things in an Abraham Lincoln costume.

It was one of the stranger dreams I've had.
