Wilson, if you can abuse your "serious" thread PWing, I can coax you back to the second primary mission of this thread! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Don't forget your sun screen!

PS- I think we need a title of "Queen of the PWs" that the lead person gets, along with a little counter of how long they've held said title and maybe a little blurb on past queens and how long they reigned. I think that'd be cool. B-)

Weren't these last few posts in the "serious" thread? Were they moved to the LTE? Or was I just too immersed in the PWing to notice that they were in the LTE to begin with? If so, my apologies. But Wilson, do remember your camera! :D

I'm back in Durham. Saturday was a travel day. I'm getting Andrew off to TIP today then I'll concentrate on setting up a get-together with any Durham locals. (Tilly, I'll be in touch soon.)

Poor wilson! Enjoy today at least.

BD...ever catch the Tall Ships in the harbor. I was down there yesterday for other tuff and it was full of people. I guess having a decent weather day for once probably helped that along.

You're incorrigible. I gotta figure out a place to buy the newest Vanity Fair and the newest New Yorker (oddly enough, Piggly Wiggly doesn't carry them). If I can dredge up a camera, I will try to take some surreptitious photos.

Thank you. I resemble that remark!

Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your efforts :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil:

Me too!! Stevo will likely be headed to Kerr Lake to hang out with my folks that weekend and finally get to use his boat for the first time this summer. I think the thought of all us Duke girls scares him. Besides, he realizes a girls weekend is no place for XX chromosome-types :lol:
Umm, I think you meant XY chromosome types :D But I disagree. If I wasn't headed to Pompano Beach, I'd certainly head to Emerald Isle! Strange how y'all planned it like that ;) Darn!
OMG! I can't believe I made that mistake :oops: Better head back to PA school.

The ad with the employees of a certain large conglomerate singing a cover of the Linda Ronstadt/Aaron Neville song, "Don't Know Much" has to be worst ad ever. Whoever imagined it was a good idea should be severely punished.

My new favorite ad is for DQ's Girl Scout Cookie Blizzard, where the daughter draws her and mom with one and dad has none. He's a boy, he can't have one.

Another ad I find interesting lately is the Ally Bank(formerly GMAC bank and a division of a former employer of mine) ad where the guy offers the two little girls a pony. Brunette, less cute* little girl gets a plastic toy pony. Cute, blond little girl gets a real-life pony. My, my, the stereotyping is firmly entrenched isn't it?

Those are a good set of commercials (the other one being - "you want a bike? But you can only ride it in this miniscule box.")

I was wondering where Ally Bank came from. They have decent intro CD rates.
