Maybe Add The Harlem Globetrotters?

Last night's dream was set in a spooky (but surprisingly well-lit) hotel in the snowy woods, where I was discussing the production of a reality show about fancy restaurants with a committee comprising Penn & Teller and the Doobie Brothers.

I defy anyone to come up with a weirder combination than that.

Today's horrible realization: the maddening pronunciation of 'escape' as 'excape' is actually etymologically sound.

I mean, I will still fire several rounds of Nerf darts at you if you pronounce it that way, because if you want to get into that wasps' nest then you could also argue that it's LATINIST, and by damn I DESPISE Latinism. And also, it's really goddamn obnoxious. But I will admit there is some history to it.
