4 toothpicks

ok, so in my dreams i was summoned to spears lane...to a house that i know not to be a real fixture in the neighborhood...and i was instructed to bring my own toothpicks for the appetizers...so i brought 4, not wanting to appear greedy.....and there were cheese cubes, and bacon-wrapped scallops, and boiled shrimp.....and the television was on during this gathering...one of those room-size overthetop models......but i was too engrossed in what i could snatch up with my 4 toothpicks to notice what was playing....and the host (from my church choir....) asked if i had brought something to grill....and i took half a porkchop, in a baggie, from my purse.....i had not been instructed to bring something to grill...so i was a bit stunned to find a portion of a porkchop in my purse......and while i tended my bit of meat on the grill, i watched the neighbors who were out raking up the last of the storm debris..... and somehow i determined that the cadre of raking neighbors were republicans....no recollection how i made this determination while in dreamland....no recollection if i actually ate the porkchop.....
