<p>I used to like Michael Jackson ;)</p>
<p>( I have a Al Yankovic music video of * White & Nerdy* It is hilarious and you can see [Donny Osmond](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWc6QQ9JlMc”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWc6QQ9JlMc</a>)dancing in the background ) :D</p>
<p>^^too funny, WashDad</p>
<p>THis IS just like middle school. I’m right back there with my g.f.'s in the basement, working out all the moves and lipsynching the Supremes from the 45’s with the little plastic disk in the middle.</p>
<p>Then the doorbell rings and it’s the guys, making us all laugh.</p>
<p>Then we’d slam the door.</p>
<p>They ring the bell…</p>
<p>and so it goes.</p>
<p>(where’s Curmudgeon…??? Grounded again? oh NO!! And the other guys?? SLAM…</p>
<p>Heeeeheeee, aren’t we great, girls?</p>
<p>(“ooooh, ooooh, Baby love, mah baby love…”)</p>
<p>I wasn’t so impressed with the male detectives on TV, Steed, couldn’t hold a candle to Mrs. Peel & [Honey</a> West didn’t even need a sidekick](<a href=“http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/H/htmlH/honeywest/honeywest.htm]Honey”>http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/H/htmlH/honeywest/honeywest.htm)</p>
<p>I’m also wondering how I have stayed married so long to someone who thinks that Roger Moore :rolleyes: was the best Bond?</p>
<p>He must have other qualities</p>
<p>Lol, ek! I think the choice of the “Best Bond” is the REAL litmus test.</p>
<p>My mom also had a thing for Tom Jones – especially “Delilah.” And she loved Rod Stewart! Totally out of character for her.</p>
<p>Great posts everybody - I need to go back & catch up on a few I’ve missed. BUT I have to do it after everyone goes to bed!</p>
<p>See y’all a little later…
Thanks for the sparking my memory with these funny & interesting comments!</p>
<p>P.S. Love the “Still mad at Yoko” bumper sticker - I need one of those! (Favorite Beatle? It was Paul when I was kid & then John when I grew up. I do love a good poet! R.I.P.).</p>
<p>Oh wow - I just saw on the ticker that McCain has surged five points in recent polls! Go Johnny Go Go Go!</p>
<p>Sorry for the interruption - now back to the important stuff!</p>
<p>i’m back…what a fun thread! i actually looked at PEOPLE today! as someone said, it really is about boy toys for the YOUNG set( not that we all aren’t) but that has a lot to do with the selections. many of them look uncomfortable in their hollywood poses and not so great faces nor presence. Jake G.(can’t spell) and the ever-lovely Johnny Depp are exceptions! but still think Hugh Laurie is a hotie.</p>
<p>I agree that Ringo is more attractive now. His hairline has receded, opening up his forehead and face and making his nose less prominent. D1 and I watched Help! on DVD the other night (mostly fast-forwarding to the songs). No one could look good with that shiny bowl haircut he had back then. </p>
<p>I can’t believe I’m actually writing about this stuff…</p>
<p>ek4,</p>
<p>I find it hard to believe that anyone, male or female, thinks Roger Moore was the best Bond!! (Especially towards the end, when they have his eyes glued open.)</p>
<p>Your H was just pulling your leg.</p>
<p>OaksMom–
Bob’s Big Boy?? And I thought Speed Racer was pretty quirky :)</p>
<p>I never mooned over for any animated characters, really. I did however, have a real dislike for Robin Hood and Mighty Mouse. Hated the whole puffed-up macho thing, and probably the tights… Same went for Batman and Robin (sorry bz!).</p>
<p>“and I watched Help! on DVD the other night (mostly fast-forwarding to the songs).”</p>
<p>My D got HELP! for a couple christmas ago. We enjoy that movie alot. She took it down to school to share. It’s cute, fun and silly. Sometimes that’s enough…</p>
<p>You fast forwarded through the music?? owe owe owe owe :(</p>
<p>Yeah - I don’t know what is was about Batman. Either I had some “need to be rescued” or I just wanted to be Batgirl! </p>
<p>I guess it wasn’t Batman as much as I just loved the show.</p>
<p>Who can figure out the six-year old brain??</p>
<p>“Help!” isn’t hearly as much fun as “A Hard Day’s Night”. We quote from that movie all the time - it’s a classic in our house. Even taught the bird to say, “Give us a kiss!”.</p>
<p>just wanted to be Batgirl!</p>
<p>I liked Catwomans outfit better ;)</p>
<p>opie–
no no - we fast-forwarded through a lot of the the wacky action/plot TO the songs. Help! is my favorite Beatles album.</p>
<p>The Batmobile came to our town back in the mid-late 60’s. It was a huge event at the time.</p>
<p>ek - yeah - I have to admit, Catwoman’s outfit was better! </p>
<p>The movies just didn’t compare to those old t.v. shows. I guess the campiness is what made them so fun!</p>
<p>POW! CRASH! BAM!</p>
<p>Couldn’t miss it because we HAD to be there at the
Same BAT time and…
Same BAT place!</p>
<p>Deedle Leedle Lee!</p>
<p>Oh I am getting crazy in my old age!</p>
<p>lspf - it’s amazing how big that silly show was at the time!</p>
<p>“opie–

<p>just caught it my mistake.bad eyes and speed reader… One of my favorite albums too. Basically one of the first music videos…really enjoyable… </p>
<p>What’s even better about it is sharing it with my kids and watching together. another one of those little things that when you step back and look at it, has so much meaning…</p>
<p>cheers…</p>
<p>wow, since we’re going down memory lane…aah, the Beatles! the Best! must admit Paul was my love. the boys back then tried to mimic their looks and if they could pull that off…i dated a guy who really had a Paulness about him…OMG! ha, but we didn’t last…guess i was taken by his red MG…memories for anyone?</p>
<p>I’ve had “Here Comes the Sun” played at both my weddings 
Somehow I didn’t consider it a jinx after the first, um, youthful mistake. In the beginning, Paul was my favorite, but I switched to George. I watched the “Concert for George” DVD a few years ago, and by the end I was crying. If you haven’t seen it, it’s terrific. Maybe we need a parents’ Beatles thread! Could it be we’re all looking for an escape from college application madness?</p>
<p>Wow. This thread is still going!
Back to the non-Beatle category – adding John F. Kennedy Jr.
Looks aside, he seemed to have a good-natured attitude despite living in the public eye to the point that would drive most people nuts.</p>
