I was in a hotel room watching the Olympics with my friends Dustin and Chris. The even was taking place on a glacier. Trying to show my immense knowledge of geology to the boys I pointed out that the contestants were sledding down medial moraines (where 2 glaciers join together and all their rocks pile up in the middle of them). They were suitably impressed, but only until we realized what these sledders were doing that

I dunno; depending on the variety of Lunchable, there's a good deal of complexity involved. Intricate stacking, multiple combinations crackers/cheese/"meat" -- that team's got my vote.
OH NELLI MY VAST GEOLOGY KNOWLEDGE HAS ALL BUT FADED AWAY ALREADY.
Just kidding! Well, I mean, yes, it has, but I don't really care. :)
I do remember moraines, though. And your dream is hilarious.
good point on the lunchable stacking, that is a true skill
