I'll get you for this, Trebeck, you scoundrel.

A little bit about my dream last night:

In the Dream World, I am the captain of the Black Pearl. I won the ship in a dream I had earlier this year, in which I made a bet with the undead first mate as to how many crewmembers there were. I guessed correctly and the ship was mine.

In my dream last night I reprised my role as Captain of the Black Pearl. I was also the captain of the Flying Dutchman. I forget how I won that ship. I remember feeling glad that the Black Pearl hadn’t been stolen yet, as I hadn’t used it in a long time. I decided to sail my fleet north and raid Santa Monica, and I was having a small party on the pier for anyone who wanted to join me on the mission.

We set sail and everyone was partying on the ship. There were plenty of honeys, and Alex Trebeck of Jeopardy had joined my crew as well. However, I soon embarked on a dinghy to investigate a mysterious new island that had appeared right off the coast. A couple of friends joined me, friends I hadn’t seen in years.

We paddled off to the island, but I decided to head back to the ship as I didn’t want this detour to slow down my raid on Santa Monica. Also, I wanted to head to Tahoe later in the week and I needed to get my fleet moving. (Somehow it seemed possible to sail to Tahoe at the time. Dreams are weird like that.)

As I turned my dinghy back to the Black Pearl, lo and behold I watched as Alex Trebeck led a mutiny and stole my ship! He sailed away with the Black Pearl and it vanished into a secret passage. The scoundrel stole my ship right out from under my nose!

I woke up shortly after. But don’t think that this is over, Trebeck. I’ll get you, that much I can promise. And the Black Pearl will be mine once again.
