Yul Brynner

T had the most hilarious dream I've ever heard of. It was like the kind of anxiety dream you would have if you were in a sitcom. He said he woke up in a cold sweat, almost screaming. "B-I-L-L was there, and he was dressed like Yul Brynner, you know, in that movie, dressed like a gunslinger and he said 'Draw...' and then he shot me, and as I was dying he says 'It is what it is!'"
I said, "Are you talking about Westworld?" Unbelievable! Every time I talk to Tony, it takes me a fair bit of time and a huge amount of concentration to distill from the details of what he's saying what he's actually referring to. He constantly jumps from one diea ot the next, and uses generic pronouns like Him and That.
A is kind of the same thing. It's not that he makes zero sense, it's that he totally ignores the existence of or possibility f segues, and he draws totally off the wall conclusions from facts that don't in any way imply what he seems to think they do.
