Yes, Zerelda.....

there is a Big Brother!

What powers of observation you have. my dear! Perhaps we should run a "test" to see if we the threads are really being monitored in some way!

The CIA would have loved you.

I've noticed that, too, z....kinda spooky!

Maybe the ad folks run a web search for their product/service and see what comes up, then run their ads on those sites.

I suppose that's possible....?

Hasn't gmail been doing this for a few years?
Nothing new.

I don't really pay attention to them. To me they are like nats flying in your face.

A couple of days ago I had a run of ads for Ann Coulter for some reason that I almost commented on. I don't recall what thread because I had to hurry away and throw up.

Eeeewww. That hasn't happened to me. Oh, wait, that wasn't the ad for the horror film on the undead who will eat our brains, was it?

.....DavidM.....Is that you and your pet camel in the avatar photo?

Yes, it is. At my age, I need all the help I can get with the ladies, so when I heard that Don Draper supposedly smoked Camels, I got me one. Howvere, the little furball gets right irritated when I try to light him.

That Ann Coulter ad just jumped up on this page! it's following me!

I think they are monitoring us and putting up stuff that fits in with the discussion thread. I mean, somebody writes about gnats flying in your face and somebody else asks about a beast best ridden in the desert by Arab men who occasional swat them with a stick and an Ann Coulter ad pops up.

All during the thread on Don's pajamas there kept flashing adds for Men's PJ's.
So did anyone notice anything unusual during the thread on erectile disfunction?

No! Not me. Why? What are you suggesting?

Maybe that's the Ann Coulter tie-in - the root cause of e.d..

.....DavidM....Breathe....In.....Out.....

Hee hee...

I saw that Ann Coulter ad tonight and I was like yuck!! I didn't want to say anything though... I didn't want to offend anyone that may like her.

Is it me or does she have one big adams apple?

Dig it, z! Right on.

You're right to be concerned, Chelsea. Mention the adams apple again and you'll be accused of treason.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Dry...where were you with those soothing, relaxing breathing exercises when we were all enmeshed in our recent unfortunate-ness,girl???

just kiddin'.......

breeeaaaathing.....slooowwllyyy ........aaaahhhhhh

Thanks.......

.....Don Draper smokes Lucky Strikes.

Your camel story doesn't hold water.

I studied and studied that picture, Dry M., and it took you to tell me it was a camel. Manhattans must be good for the eyes, hmmmm, like carrots?

Newt Gingrich is up there now, what do you suppose brought that on? The e.d., the adams apple or the smokes.

God help us. In my newspaper days, I covered his first unsuccessful run for congress. Believe it or not, even as a Republican, he was the environmentalist liberal in the race. The incumbent Democrat was an old southern mossback and Newt was this intellectual young college professor who'd been so precocious that he had married his high school math teacher.

What I meant to sat, Dry, was that I would need a "Lucky Strike" to light that Camel.

OK, on another thread we were talking about westerns, movies and books. The pop-up down below now is inviting me to take a tour of Texas.

Don't forget Wolfgang Puck! I guess they think we all want to buy his pots and pans sets on QVC!

Oh, they hooked me...it was all about Philly cream cheese...yum...by God, Wolfy has it in his own refrigerator...gee

DavidM, that camel DOES look a little like Ann Coulter.

Puh-leeze! The poor thing does have feelings, you know.

What are you guys looking at in that pic, David?

Oh boy, now they want us to go see Julia's new pic...I wish they'd get that Clive Owen fella to guest on MM.

We were comparing phalanges. I will not tell you what she said mine looked like,
