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.

Comment by Scott Wells (Boy in the Bands 12.19.07 @ 3:14 pmI hope it included a 1970s memory! There’s more than enough pimento to go around….
Comment by Ms. Theologian 12.19.07 @ 3:18 pmI 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.
Comment by Comrade Kevin 12.19.07 @ 4:16 pmGreat 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.

Comment by GhostGirl 12.20.07 @ 5:57 amIf 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.
