PJ is all around us

PJ is everywhere!!! I love seeing little things that remind me of PJ & make me smile.

A few weeks ago, while driving, I saw a truck for a company called 'Even Flow'-- I think it was plumbing, or something that had to do with pipes--something like that-- & it made me smile :D

Also, I got an e-mail for my school's pajama & merchandise sale, & the subject was PJ Sale. I was like PJ??? WHAT?WHERE?HUH?...until I realized that PJ meant pajama, not Pearl Jam :D

...or if there's a certain word or phrase that comes up. Recently was reading a short story in school and the word 'dissident' was in there-- needless to say, that song was stuck in my head for the rest of the day!

Anyone else have these experiences?

    Yes, a lot :)

    For example, when I see a 'Yield'-sign on the street.

    And then, my native language isn't English but I'm living in Canada. I constantly am reminded :)

    There are certain words and expressions that I associate with PJ much more than with their normal use. (porch, 'given to...', and loads of other words and phrases)....

    or the Backspace key on my keyboard.

    Or I can't hear 'Seattle' out of anyone's mouth without thinking of PJ. Or surfing. As soon as someone talks about surfing or the ocean.

    The PJ = pajama thing happens to me, too.

    Every time I hear the word "crapshoot", my brain immediately plays the beginning of Comatose. For a while, Verizon had a commercial on TV that used the word.

    Now my girlfriend started doing it recently. Which is awesome.

    Months ago, probably over a year ago now, I saw a van that said "Vedder's flowers" on it. Warmed my heart! ;)

    there once was a note...LISTEN !

    Funny one from today: was learning about DNA in my forensics class, and my teacher was going over sequences, then wrote an example sequence that ended in T-A-C-T-- had Off He Goes in my head the whole day :) The most random things turn into PJ references!

    And definitely Pearl St. in NYC- passed by a couple weeks ago & of course thought of the boys!

    I know a dude named Eddie...does that count?
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I just listened to a talk about inversion in seabed geoacoustics and the guy always talked about the 'speed of sound' instead of 'sound speed' :)

    When I took a quantum mechanics class last year the professor would lead off almost every description of any phenomenon with I know this is ''hard to imagine, but...'' Got me every time
