The Daily Ping

Not a toilet in the country has not been affected by the Ping in one way or another.

Dream Death

“They” always say that if you die in your dreams, you die in real life. However, that’s surely an old wives’ tale because last night I died suddenly of some odd affliction. Thankfully, I’m here to report on it.

Death ain’t fun, though. According to my dream, when you die, you continue to live in a world just like the one you left with one major exception: no one else is there. I was in my house in my town, but I was the only one there. No one else was around except for an old woman (an angel, perhaps?) who was there to help guide my transition. I had a really desperate feeling of loneliness. And I wondered for a moment if Huyen would know who to give my music collection to.

I’m kind of glad to be awake now.

Two nights ago I dreamt that my friend Jane died. I have no idea what she died of, but I was at the funeral with her family just bawling. I woke up very upset. As far as I know, she is still alive. I don’t want to freak her out with this dream!

Wouldn’t Huyen keep your music?

I’ve died a million times in my dreams..it’s always the dream where I’m falling. I could trip outside on my front walk, and all of the sudden, I’m falling into a bottomless pit.

What makes this even more weird, is that when I was 13, I nearly died falling off a mountain trail on a Boy Scout hiking trip in the Appalachian Mountains. That will scare the crap outta you for a long time. It’s a long story that I’ve really tried to blot out from my mind, but needless to say, dream almost became reality.

This ping reminds me of the show Dead Like Me. I haven’t seen the show in a while, but I do remember it being about grim reapers. It was on HBO I believe.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
