"Virginia Slims" were not marketed here.  The Tony Awards were sponsored by them once.  I edited out the commercials to a tape and used them as a "Teaching aid" in my Business Management/Marketing class.

The class knew we had come a long way.

4.30 am.  Dog walking time and then to the Gym.

Nah!  That's DR SignDoor.

Back to bed.

The tilemen will call within 48 hours to schedule a worktime. That is all.

Hey, Tommyofoz....is it true that an Australian Kiss is the same thing as a French Kiss Down Under?

Back from shipping.  Either everyone has discovered the little 11:00 to 11:30 secret (the post office is empty during this time), or everyone is trying to post everything before the rates go up next Monday - it was very crowded (I got there just before it got really bad).  People - eventually they ruin everything.

Since you brought it up

I Thought You Were Dale!

Scroll down to click on a link to view the commericial. The quality isn't great but you get the entire 30 second spot. There is a dial-up link, a high speed link and an avi (that's a file format) link.

"I'm Chiquita Banana, and I've come to say bananas have to ripen in a certain way. When they are flecked with brown and have a certain hue, bananas taste the best, and are the best for you. You can put them in a salad. You can put them in a pie - aye. Anyway you want to eat them it's impossible to beat them. But bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator. So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator."

For those who love TAR check out http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com

Their forums are unbelievable (click on TAR top right).

Anyhow i've been going through the spoiler threads and usually they know who the top 3 are. But apparently for this season they knew who won.

Also for those in NYC, apparently there is something called TARcon.  It sounds like it happens every year. It's some big party where all the TAR contestants go.  And people go and meet them.  Sounds like fun (there is a whole thread about it).

I had visited one of the TWP TAR forums once or twice this season and there were some strict warnings that there were accurate spoilers about who won on the Spoiler forum, so I stayed away from it.  People really hate Mirna and Schmirna there.

The TARcon thing sounds kind of fun.  I think if I were just a touch more nerdy about the show I would consider going, especially if the Blondies and Tyler and BJ were going to attend.

Paul:  So Joanne, do you remember that musician that was at the Playhouse a few weeks ago; the one that got a haircut?

Joanne:  Yes, I remember, Paul.

Paul:  Well I'm sitting here watching the Channel 7 news in High Definition. They just showed a shot of Central Park, and I think that's him, there.

Joanne:  That could well be, Paul.

Paul: He's got a bag of food with him..."L"...something...I can't quite make it out.  And...it looks like he's trying to pick up one of those joggers passing by...

Irish Spring...

Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.

It was Secret deoderant, not Irish Spring soap, that was strong enough for a man but made for a woman. :)

I've been writing a letter to our alumni association - surprisingly hard.  Trying to just give a welcome, a few little details, and then a head's up that there will be a general meeting in a few weeks.

I'm eating lunch at my desk.

Spinach salad with eggs and turkey...and a vinaigrette of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard.

Really quite tasty!
