The phony disclosure in the '70s that there were subliminal sexual images in advertising illustrations, like ice cubes. They weren’t really visible unless you imagined them.
Favorite yokel.
Some folks’ll never lose a toe, and then some folks’ll.
Like Cletus, the slack jawed yokel.
Favorite hotel
Jedidiah Clampett. He always managed to straighten out his poor, deluded, relatives without ever disrespecting them or making them feel stupid. He was a true gentleman.
What’s your most favorite prank? (Can be one you pulled yourself, or one a friend pulled, but it has to be true. Interweb pranks count only if there’s video proof.)
Ninja – I iike the Clampett answer and the hotel question, so Ill choose
Kirovakan Hotel, Vanadzor, Armeina. Wonderful old Soviet style class, very cheap, wonderfully friendly.
Favorite leaf
Well, poot! OK, my Favorite hotel is the Waldorf Astoria in NY. Specifically, I loved the old “Junior League” suite*, which was always reserved for our use. It was just all so Victorian and proper that you’d swear a ghost would haunt the place all night if you dared to order coffee instead of tea.
*This one is a tiny bit grander, I can’t find the actual room. But you get the idea.
Now! What’s your most favorite prank? (Can be one you pulled yourself, or one a friend pulled, but it has to be true. Interweb pranks count only if there’s video proof.)
Double ninja’d! Phooey!
My favorite leaf is sarsparilla. We had a tree in the back yard growing up, and I loved the smell of it when you crushed one up in your hand.
Now, for Pete’s sake, would somebody please pick a prank?
Favorite prank? Easy. When the Mean Old Lady on our lazy, went-nowhere street used to call the cops because we were playing road hockey. She’d come out and berate us kids for playing in the street (“Children should not be playing in the street!”), and later, the police would show up, because she called them. The cops didn’t care, and usually just said, “Hi, kids! Having a fun game?” before driving off.
The Mean Old Lady had a little wall of bricks beside her driveway, not held together with anything. One night, we noticed her car was gone. We dissassembled the wall of bricks, and rebuilt it across her driveway. When she came home later that night–crash!
We all got in trouble for that one, but it was worth it. Because the Mean Old Lady never bothered us again. Nor did she call the cops on us. We continued to play road hockey without her interference.
