    I had the impression that those black light posters were more or less just updated quips from Readers Digest. What surprised me was house hunting being on the agenda. I must have missed that part.

    I still have some. Showed them to my Grand Daughter and she told me she didn’t think I was that old. I didn’t either.

    Well, maybe A&J will find a house and we will have fun quoting the 1970s.

    Find a house? I thought this was a trial. Have they ever said how many miles from home this was?

    I think a lava lamp would go nicely with the black-light poster.

    We had a neighbor who had some posters on his screened-in porch. He installed some black lights and invited everybody over for a party. We all dressed up in striped, bright colors and when he turned on those lights after dark it was amazing. Unfortunately, black lights draw bugs, thousands of bugs. Ended up turning the lights off.

    I had one with Disney Characters in, {Ahem}, “compromising” positions. I wish I’d kept it, considering how meticulously Disney protects their copyright, it’s probably a Collector’s Item… ☺

    So they aren’t visiting to see if they want to move into the guest house? They are staying in the guest house…while they look for a new house? I can’t keep up with the A&J real estate empire

    Found my old black light poster (looked like if stairway to heaven met the denizens of the shire) and put it up when one of the grandsons came over. Plugged in the black light and he was quite enthralled. Both went home with him :)

    I still have my Desiderata poster. It’s on parchment-looking paper, and now looks like it might really have come from that old church. Thinking about framing it and putting it on a wall

    I once had, lost in a move, National Lampoon’s Deteriorata.

    Go placidly amid the noise and waste,And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.Rotate your tires.Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,And heed well their advice — even though they be turkeys.Know what to kiss — and when.Remember that two wrongs never make a right,But that three do.Wherever possible, put people on “HOLD”.Be comforted, that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,And despite the changing fortunes of time,There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

    You are a fluke of the universe …You have no right to be here.Whether you can hear it or not, the universeIs laughing behind your back.

    And there were all those posters for bands playing at the Fillmore Auditorium or the Avalon Ballroom that were printed in purple letters on green backgrounds in fonts that were so “psychedelic” that they were impossible to interpret, but it didn’t matter, because Quicksilver Messenger Service was going to play, dude!

    The main thing I remember about blacklights is how hot they were. In junior high school, I helped a friend set up a haunted house for the trick-or-treaters. One effect we used was putting a blacklight behind a plastic diffuser. The diffuser melted.

    I always preferred my strobe light. It was used for about an hour one Halloween before I had to turn it off for the night. Many trick-or-treaters were either transfixed by the strobe or got dizzy. I checked out the strobe light a few months ago, and more than after forty years it still works. Not sure if I can find a reasonably priced replacement bulb anywhere.
