play misty for me

The logo on the t-shirt I wore today caught my eye in the mirror. Could it really say something backwards as well as forwards? Is it a subliminal message? At a previous radio job, I did a bit centered around the subliminal arrow hidden in the FedEx logo. The great side effect of the bit was having listeners be subliminally reminded of my radio show whenever they saw a FedEx truck.

At my son's swim meet tonight, I asked my wife to use my camera phone to take a picture of my subliminal t-shirt. For some reason the phone takes normal photos when flipped open but it takes mirror-image photos when closed. As you can see, my shirt reads "Sierra Mist" forwards. The word "Mist" becomes "Rim" in reverse. One of the other team parents let me borrow a bottle of Sierra Mist Free for the photo. Maybe the company is changing their logo. On the bottle, the S and T are separated and no longer look like an R in reverse.



They had a bake sale at the swim meet. Get a load of these hamburger cookies. They're made from 'Nilla Wafers, Peppermint Patties and some red icing.
