Je vous en prie, mon petit chou à la crème.
[quote=Allan from Fallbrook] At the risk of TMI, Farrah wasn’t my one and only. Relative to the racier Euro models you mentioned, I’ll confess to a real yen for Claudia Cardinale in the movie “The Professionals”, which also featured Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Jack Palance and Woody Strode. Don’t know if you’re a Western fan, but its a doozy, and Miss Cardinale did wonderful things to her clothing in that flick. Filmed in the late 1960s, it also has that Vietnam-era anti-hero thing going, so it’d appeal to your counter-culture side. [/quote]
Oooh, you did like them older, didn’t you? Admittedly, the gorgeous Ms. Cardinale could hold her own with the likes of Loren, Bardot, Andress, and other legendary goddesses.
I always went for the older, more earthy types myself. While my friends were drooling over David Cassidy (Ack!! That would have been like kissing my sister) or the Bay City Rollers, I was heavy into Kris Kristofferson (still am, as a matter of fact). I forced myself to sit through the 1976 version of “A Star Is Born” just to catch cheap thrills from a shirtless Kristofferson. Imagine my ecstasy when they released “The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea”. KK tasty buffet!
I am a HUGE classic films fan – have been since I was a young kid – and really have no genre preference so long as the movie is good. I’ve never seen “The Professionals” but should make it a point to do so, since it has Burt Lancaster in it. (BTW, he’s the TCM “Summer Under the Stars” star tomorrow, so I won’t be hanging around Piggs between 1:30 & 4 am Thursday: “Seven Days In May” is playing. Awesome!!)
[quote=Allan from Fallbrook] Also, and it breaks my heart to do this, but I have to disagree with your take on Texas job creation. Allow me to say that I’m not plumping for the armed and dangerous Gov. Perry, but there is a lot of propaganda flying around right now, and Richard Fisher, head of the Dallas Fed and a Democrat to boot, gave a speech in which he soundly refuted the “McJobs” characterization of the Texas “Miracle”. No, it ain’t a miracle, just solid (and continuing, according to the most recent report) job growth, and I do believe Perry is going to gore (no pun intended) Obama on this point. [/quote]
I will temporarily reserve final judgement on Gov. Perry’s record of jobs creation, but I’m afraid it won’t make any difference in terms of my support. After watching him handle himself on the issue of abstinence education (the video posted by afx), I don’t want this guy anywhere near a position in which he can vote on policy that affects me. Sarah Palin appears intelligent, confident and articulate in her ABC and CBS vice presidential race interviews compared to the Rick Perry in this piece.
The knowledge that millions of supposedly competent people support the two of them for the Presidency makes me want to get very, very drunk until my brain cells are permanently nonfunctional.
