We had a green Christmas... and then a NB>> white New Year's... a skim of snow on the ground, anyway... maybe half NB>> an inch or so... ;) Didn't last, though... we got temps back into the NB>> 50s on New Year's Day.... been in the 40s the yesterday and today, and NB>> then it will go back to seasonal 30s tomorrow and following.... DS> Back in 1982, we had tornadoes on Christmas Eve. That's no fun... would blow Santa off course for sure.... ;) DS>> I hope the same holds true for my place...it was replaced 2 years DS>> ago. NB>> It should.... DS> For what my Mom paid for it, I hope so. As I said, it should... :) NB>> ... I saw a subliminal advertising executive, but only for a second. DS> I likely have noted this in the past, but in college 40 years ago, DS> one of the professors did "an X-rated" lecture. It was on "Subliminal DS> Seduction"....where "you are sexually aroused by ads". Yes, we have talked about that before... :) There was a course like that at my college, too... A friend of mine took it, and then brought stuff to show all his friends... We had a great time looking for the hidden images... once you know thwy are there, most if not all their "power" is broken... :) DS> They showed an ad of "Seagrams Liquor. Break out the frosty bottle, DS> and keep your tonics dry". We were told to write what was brought to DS> our minds. I wrote drunkeness, alcoholism, etc...but all these others DS> were writing all these sexually oriented terms. Apparently they'd had a sneak preview of the practice... :) Or had really dirty minds... DS> Then, I was shown what it was, and to say I was shocked was an DS> understatement!! In fact, there's a book that I have, with the title DS> "Subliminal Seduction"...and it asks "What is the sexiest thing in DS> Playboy Magazine?? Clue: Forget about the centerfold". :P I think that might have been what was being used as the (or at least a) textbook for the course my friend was taking... DS> Excuse the pun, but to this day, ads don't get a rise out of me. :P To this day, I'll sometimes check out the ads just to see if there are any hidden images.... I never found them particularly sexy either, though... ;) ttyl neb .... Boot in the root! BAT in a FAT! Backup,backup, DAT,DAT,DAT!! Go...
