I had a good long sleep before writing this morning's 4 posts about last night's big debate.
I think it's good to sleep on it. You get to see what survives the dream-mind's workings. So let me tell you about what I dreamed. I had a white dog, a Samoyed, and instead of a leash, I was holding a loop of white cloth tape that went around the dog's neck, and I knew I needed to get better control of the animal. I thought, what is my dog's name? Why don't I know my dog's name? Then I remembered: The dog's name is Lloyd! Upon realizing the dog was Lloyd, I was able to catch him in my arms. As I tried to hold him, his face changed into the face of Andrew Yang. I was very interested in talking to Andrew Yang, but the transformation was never complete, nor was it satisfying, because where was my dog Lloyd?!

Andrew Lang, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lloyd the White Dog.
Dreams, they complicate my life.
I hope he didn't lick your face.
Lloyd the Samoyed is an awesome name for a dog.
"Andrew Lang, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lloyd the White Dog."
You made me look up Andrew Lang! I'm like this Scottish poet is too obscure...
"where was my dog Lloyd?!"
He was llicking his lloins.
My brother's name is Lloyd.
He was named after his grandfather whose name was misspelled as Loyd.
Samoyeds hunt polar bears.
I'd get a Samoyed and name him Lloyd, but I'm afraid it's too hot for him here (in Wisconsin).
Lloyd, the good bboyd.
Lloyd is a good name for a Samoyed because -- as Ignorance intimates -- Lloyd is a near rhyme for Samoyed.
But it's a bad name because a Samoyed is distinctly white, and the name Lloyd means gray.
Were you subconsciously having Yang stereotypically switch l's for r's? Did Lloyd the Samoyed want a fleadom dividend?
Could be that you had a dream hearing problem. The dogs in my dreams are called Floyd.
We'd put a piece of string across the hallway as a Samoyed trap.
It's probably just me but if I were dreaming of Democrats, I'd see a psychiatrist soon.
I wonder if that weird cloth leash is connected to your observation about Yang's shirt
Lloyd Lloyd, all null and void...
Lloyd Thaxton was as white as one could get.

"

Maybe really, really light gray? There might be at least fifty shades of Lloyd.
Is Lloyd the Samoyed another one of your dog shares... or a step dog or a dog-in-law?
Althouse fans need to start showing up at Yang rallies with signs saying "Vote for Lloyd!"

No leash because Yang wasn’t wearing a tie.
Clyde the camel is the archetype.
this Scottish poet is too obscure..
Andrew Lang is better known for his collections of fairy tales. Each book is named for a color like The Blue Fairy Book. My wife has the set she read as a child.
Lang is also known among Sherlockians for his critical studies of the stories.
As a poet, not so much.
What a noble beast. I wish mine could still walk. Or stand up without help. Or poop or pee without assistance. People tell me I'm a committed dog owner. Sometimes I think I should be committed. He's still all there mentally so I'm going to keep doing my part if he's willing to do his.
If Althouse gets a dog she should name it Klobuchar.
If she gets a thoroughbred horse she should call it; Biden's Little Poligrip Slip.
"The dogs in my dreams are called Floyd..."
But they are pink, not white.
Like Pharaoh you need someone to interpret your dream. Perhaps God will provide you with a Joseph.
That of course brings to mind Andrew Lloyd-Webber. Hmm.
"sleep on it" was my favorite phrase in business. It guarantees reflexion.
Well, now time passed and now it seems
Everybody’s having them dreams
Everybody sees themselves
Walkin’ around with no one else
Half of the people can be part right all of the time
Some of the people can be all right part of the time
But all of the people can’t be all right all of the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that
“I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours”
I said that

Maybe you need to be kinder to Meade: not only are you dreaming of other men, you're dreaming of barely holding onto and then losing a white.
Er, a white dog, often a symbol of a close friend or lover or other deeply important relation.
Oh, it probably was a dream about Meade, but only Meade would be able to say why and he wouldn’t say it to the world nor would I.
That reminds me of and old joke about a person with a wood eye... anybody remember that joke? I could reconstruct it but I’m too lazy.
"Hare lip! Hare lip!"
I had a white Samoyed and if it turned into a Democrat in a dream I would know I was in Hell. But seriously, Wisconsin would be fine for a Samoyed. In the summer they like to find a cool muddy patch or a cement floor and lie in it on their belly. They like the water, summer or winter - water with chunks of ice is best but any water. They don't like anything around their necks and that ruff makes it impossible to keep a collar on them. You need a sled-dog-type harness that goes around their chest. They are part wolf and don't recognize you as an owner but as (maybe) the leader of the pack. Anyhow, a fellow pack member. Unfortunately, they don't live as long as humans, the only flaw.
There once was Prof who dreamt of Lloyd
A big ol'dog, (it was a Samoyed)
But she woke with a pang--
He turned into Yang!!
It's time to consult Dr. Freud
That reminds me of and old joke about a person with a wood eye...
Does it end with a one legged girl stuck in a tree?
....at the end of a date?
"Would I?!?!"
"Hair-Lip! Hair-Lip!! Hair-Lip!!"
I know several people in WI who have Samoyeds and have no problems. In that sense they are like any other double coated breed like Siberians, Malemutes, St. Bernards, etc.
When you brush them out, you can card their hair into yarn and use it to make clothing. Light and very warm.
Samoyed dogs are of Russian origin. Your dream indicates Andrew Yang is the face of Putin. You should report this dream to Robert Mueller immediately.
Hey, thanks for reminding me of the missing element, hare lip.
"Hey, thanks for reminding me of the missing element, hare lip."
Hey, you're welcome, wood eye.
LOL, Meade.
Here's a Reddit post that shows the whole joke written out.
@Ingachuck'stoothlessARM
Fantastic limerick!

if only you could see the huge smiles you put on our adorably cherubic faces!
