Infatuations

[Farm Boy]

There's way too much Wisconsin between central Illinois and Minneapolis.

I know rite?

I'd be madder if Wisconsin wasn't generally more fun to be in than home*. I think they've finally changed it, but the experience driving north and reading the signs was always:

"Welcome to Wisconsin"
"Beer"
"Cheese"
"Fireworks"

Then if you keep going you get to Madison, or campgrounds, or trucking establishments**, or waterparks.

Then - after you've enjoyed the mosquitoes long enough and eaten enough cheese that you aren't certain you're going to defecate for the remainder of a week, you drive south and reading the signs goes:

"Welcome to Illinois"
"Pay Toll Ahead"

The only thing that used to be pride worthy was that the speed limit would drop 5 mph and traffic would add 15.

*Yeah, I know I don't have to live there, but seriously. Even the Arby's up there randomly carry venison burgers. Sure, it's probably leftovers from a wasting sickness cull, but even up north it's hard to keep enough hunters going these days. Either way, yum!

**Like with the dancing. If extremely frustrated drinking crowds are your thing.

Practically Audry Hepburn territory there. Just. yowza.

I hadn't really given it much thought, but long ago when I was stationed at Great Lakes in Illinois just about every plan made for having a good time did start with "Drive up to Wisconsin and..."

I think the first women who knocked me over were Janice Marie Johnson from A Taste of Honey and Erin Grey on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. "Boogie Oogie Oogie" holds up pretty well, if disco is your thing. I'm not sure about Buck Rogers. I suspect it may not have aged well.

Ahhh, when cheesecake was really king on network TV.

Oooh yes. I had a crush on Erin Grey when she was on Silver Spoons. I hated the show, but I watched it to see her.

My father used to have a crush on Cher. My main thought on the issue came down to, "at least it's a woman around his age and not some teen pop star."

 

[Farm Boy]

Late 60s Cher is pretty easy on the eyes, ya'know.

He had a crush on early '90's Cher - in the early '90's. But, she did look pretty good even then, too.

Virginia Mayo co-star in Gregory Peck's Captain Horatio Hornblower and in Burt Lancaster's The Flame & the Arrow.

I always though Cher wore 60s flower child better than 90s alt star, but yar! Both be smokin'. I never really feel too bad getting momentarily distracted by whatever hot noise is on top of the late teens/early 20s pop charts. It's not like they're going to stop being hot if I pretend not to notice. I mean, it's a lot less jarring then not running into the kids of an acquaintance for four years or so if they have a daughter in the 13-now-17ish range.

"Who is that?"
"So-And-So's daughter"
"Oh lord."
"Feeling old?
"Yeap. That's totally what just went through my head right now. Moooving on."

War of the Coprophages

ehm... that doesn't sound sexy at all

 

[Farm Boy]

Coprophiliacs, then?

 

[Kyriakos]

I suppose it is only a synonym.

/philosoraphor: "what is another word for a 'synonym'?"

This was mine.

My tastes have changed a lot since then.

A Taste of Honey, c. 1978 (...I think, the photo's not dated). Janice Marie Johnson is the one on the right.

Erin Gray as Col. Wilma Deering in her awesome 1980 sci-fi jumpsuit.

I would have thought, given your avatar name and picture, it would have been the ghost in the library...

 

[Kyriakos]

She has been dead for many, many years now.
Everyone dies, kids.
