Yarn Monkeys and the power of suggestion

So I walked into Prospect Perk this morning to pick up a cuppa joe.

Oddly enough, hadn't been there to try theirs before, but have passed it so many times before that I was resolved to finally just go there already.

Anywho, so I walk in, get a cup of the house blend and am on my way over to put a tad of sugar and milk in it when I am stopped dead in my tracks by a sign with this guy on it there by the fixins'...



And before I could even stop for a moment long enough to actually read the sign I found myself seized by a Manchurian Candidate moment where I had the sudden, immediate urge to yell

KNIT YOUR ASS OFF!!

Fortunately for myself and others present I was able to cut the volume before the words left my mouth, and all order and peace remained preserved.

Whew! That was a close one.

Just goes to show you what repetition and the power of suggestion will do when you least expect it (perhaps resulting in a striped cap or stockings if it goes fully unchecked).

Okay, just had to share. Thanks, Yarn Monkey, for the unexpected amusement.

This ever happen to any of you?

Cocain's a helluva drug. :P

Hah, that would certainly explain this thread.

When we started the group the first tag line was "Got Balls?" Aren't you glad we switched it up?

When's the next meeting (with liquor)? I have a scarf that's remained unfinished for 2 years.

Hey danielle123, that would be Sunday May 17 for beer and balls at Freddy's. We meet at Freddy's every 3rd Sunday from 7:00 to 9:00-ish.

Think of your scarf as being ahead of winter 2010.
