I just woke up from a dream in which I seemed to be watching a movie, which from the casting, art direction, and costuming, appeared to have been made in the mid-seventies. Peter Sellers was playing the role of the founder of a eugenic breeding program and in one scene where he and his staff were wandering around a large internal multilevel space inhabited by the first generation product of the project while the staff pukes were giving the boss a verbal status report on the project. And of the department or section names were suffixed with the word "dale" as in thisdale or thatdale. All was not going well.
Sellers: What about viewdale?
Flunky: We had to close that, we didn't want people looking in at what we're doing here.
Or something like that.
(The original three primary shopping malls in Minneapolis/St. Paul area Southdale, Brookdale, and Rosedale.)
