What people like Johnny Depp, Gary Oldman and William Shatner do for a living.

Brett: "Yea, he didn't half chew the scenery. Almost as much as William Shatner in Star Trek."

the scenes

it is how you know you're about to dream. the scenes is a different dimension before dreams where you accept everything in the reality without question. you could be riding a bike with tinfoil wheels or passing by a house which is made of water. you see a stick on the ground and you just know it's called dad.

I was having the scenes! let me go back to sleep

Guess you're taking the scenic route to the hole

This phrase is said while golfing. to someone who isn't keeping their ball within the fairway. It usually means they're in the trees or hazard areas.

Your ball is about two inches off of the white house's fence. I guess you're taking the scenic route to the hole.
