Yeah, I've heard of those 12 step programs:
First, you get to wear a sort of bandage on your arm which makes you dislike teleporters. Two weeks later they give you special chewing gum which tastes like green buttons, but with more Yuk!
Next is 8 days of videos showing little dogs getting flattened by boulders, Ugh! And so on, that's their strategy.
I'm not crazy about it....
Changing the 'object' of the addiction ís a good idea. I already tried it this last week: First I thought it might be neat to collect license plates. Nobody does that, right?! Then I found out why: got a gentle warning from the police ánd they made me throw away my screwdriver.
But: since thursday I'm a Train Spotter Spotter. Ain't it cool? I go over to the train tracks and see if I can find train spotters. Then I write down the name, Social Security number and favourite train. I've got 27 already!
I'll call the folks from Guiness Records on monday to see how many I need to get in the Book.
If any of you are thinking of doing the same (how about it, slimm tom?), be careful: some of these train spotters are a bit balmy....
