RandomAnthony | 14536 comments When I see a bald dude I think of Kevin.

When I think of cinnamon (sp?) I think of toast and how much my brother in law hates cinnamon (sp? again).

When I see a station wagon I think of the 70s and how no one wore seat belts way in the back of station wagons.

You?

Félix (habitseven) When I see the show Austin City Limits, I think of when I lived there, and the night my wife, my brother, and his wife went to dinner at Carmelos Italian restaurant in downtown Austin. I had fettucini carbonara, which was prepared table-side. It was so good.

When I open yogurt I think of RA, spurting 'gurt on himself for 38 years before realizing he could simply turn the container around.


message 4: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) When I wash dishes, I think of an old friend with whom I talked for the last time in 2007 as I was washing dishes. I haven't heard from him since, and have no idea how to reach him.


message 5: by David (new)

David (bowsertheturtle) for me this happens a lot for movies and songs, like if i heard a song on the radio that was in a movie i liked i remember the movie, sometimes i start to quote from it.. for example, Layla, the non-acoustic version, always reminds me of Goodfellas..

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments When I smell popcorn I think about my family watching Mork & Mindy and Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, eating air popped corn and fresh squeezed orange juice.

When I hear music from Grease I remember my first drive-in movie with my folks and eating three giant corndogs and popcorn and Raisinettes. I was mighty tummy sick but incredibly happy.

When I see a Jeep Wrangler I think of my first brand-spankin' new vehicle, denim blue and black, and the day we brought Jessi home from a month-long stay in the hospital for the first time. (She was premie) I miss my Jeep!

Lylly Emerick | 52 comments HA! I also think of RA when I open yogurt. I wonder how many TC people do?


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I didn't, but I will now... :)

There's a kind of soap that always reminds me of my grandmother, and the way her house used to smell.

Whenever I test spaghetti noodles for doneness, I think of my friend Gretchen, because back when she was in college, and in the middle of an argument with her boyfriend, he told her that the way to find out if spaghetti was done was to throw it against the wall, and if it sticked, it was done. She threw the whole potful.

HA!

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments That's great Jackie!

Green peppers remind me of my bro-in-law... whom I have a good-natured rivalry with. Once I was making his favorite dish, Green Pepper Steak, for him, and he came into the kitchen just to annoy me. I was cutting up said green peppers, and instead of responding to his "let's go poke at the little sis-in-law" remarks I simply turned and pitched a whole pepper at him. Absolutely exploded against the wall not 5 inches from his head. He was shocked and didn't come back into the kitchen while I was cooking for months! Ha! :} *evil grin*

Ha...it's good to be known for splattered yogurt, I guess...could be worse:)

I am one of those people...and it even happened earlier today.

message 14: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) That's precious, Knarik! I love it.




message 15: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments That kinda made me want to hurl a little bit.


message 16: by Knarik (new)

Knarik Haven't you ever tried it? it is not bad, and it is great for diet.


message 17: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) I did once a long time ago. Very tasty.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

When I hear the song "Fantasy" by Aldo Nova, I think of Camaros and dirt roads.


message 19: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) That's cool.


message 20: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Hmmm... I guess with my new lifestyle changes I need to say carpe victus and give it a try. ;)


message 21: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 1106 comments When I see clothes, I think about throwing up.

OH! I see! That's not what RA meant...

em...when I see Adrien Brody, I think of Ichabot Crane.
And when I see Taylor Swift, I think of horses.



message 22: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) When I see a snail, I think of Sarah Montambo.

Welcome to TC Ashley, watch out for flying noodles here too!



message 27: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Welcome Ashley!

Jim, we won't mention other nefarious flying objects of a squishy nature, however.


message 28: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments (poop) Didn't want to bring it up.


message 29: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Oh well, that qualifies as well... although it's a tad bit nicer than my mental images.

When did RA get hit with pies?


message 30: by Cosmic Sher (new)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Seems like something RA would engage in. :)

Leslie | 777 comments When I smell those bathroom deodorizers that you hang in the toilet and they dissolve, I feel like I'm 8 years old again and in my aunt's bathroom--the cleanest bathroom in the world.

When I hear the song--I think by Loggins and Messina that goes, Even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you honey... I think about being in bed in the mornings with my husband back when we first got married, in 1981 and listening to that record--yes record--over and over and how we were so sure we'd be happy like the couple in the song and how sad it is that it didn't turn out that way.

When I see certain numbers I think about the sickness that it is the code for. I can't see 490 without thinking bronchitis, etc. Lots of codes on license plates.

When I think of chewing tobacco, I think of my Pappaw and how much I loved him and how gross it was when he reached down for the coffee can he always had by his chair to spit in. Yuck!

Leslie, Really enjoyed reading your post, so poignant.

Pine needles, most evocative fragrance in the world to moi, they make me wistful and I think of 'that'.

Jaimie (jaimie476) | 664 comments When I think of ketchup I think about my friend, Nate, who hates most condiments. One year for his birthday I decorated his cubicle at work with ketchup packets. :-)
