I haven't had any dreams about Mudcatters (that I recall), but I think the phenomenon of developing an imaginary mental image of what a mudcatter looks like is an interesting one. I have developed such mental images with a whole series of 'Catters. What is generally a real SHOCK is when you find out what they REALLY look like! Yikes!!! What a major bummer, man. :-)

The biggest shock was finding out what Spaw really looks like. I had naively pictured him as a dignified and urbane southern gent, well dressed, with a neatly trimmed mustache, a vest, and a trim figure...kind of like a retired Civil War veteran of the most classy sort, transplanted into modern times. WELLLL....when I saw what he actually looks like...I couldn't eat anthing but oatmeal for a week afterward, and I developed a facial tic which only ceased troubling me after weeks of costly therapy.

That bugger owes me bigtime...
