Holiday Survival Guides

Hilarious: Possibly I should not be so delighted by the Sierra Club’s Holiday Survival Guide on how to talk to your family if you’re an environmentalist. Possibly it’s the dorky photographs. Possibly it’s the stereotypes. Possibly it’s just the lamest dialogue possible. Possibly I can talk Jim into acting out one of these scripts with me later.

    I hope it included a 1970s memory! There’s more than enough pimento to go around….

    I forwarded this link to my sister, whose lack of tact in such matters lends to such passionate diatribes as to how carnivores insatiable desires for meat are destroying the environment–and the inevitable backlash.

    Apparently the 70’s were the golden age of appetizers? I was too young to appreciate the 70’s, or to put it more accurately, not born yet.

    Great links. I don’t think I need to memorize any scripts from Sierra Club, though. I have to say, I was sympathizing a bit with “Sis” when she called me a sellout - pushing hybrid SUVs sounds a tad silly.

    Wow, they will write how-to tips about ANYTHING these days, won’t they?

    If I help you clean your house you have to come help me clean my parent’s house! ;-)

    If you and Jim do act out one of the scripts please do so in front of a video camera and upload it to YouTube. Thank you.
