What???
You beat me to it.
In a recent world-wide survey, 90% of men preferred Mary Ann to Ginger. I just made that up, but I'm sticking to it.
“2nd only to Ginger.”
Now you gone and done it. Those darn Mary Ann fans will be flaming this thread any minute. Ginger is #1
Oh Yeah!!!! “Dump yer ‘critters Ellie May, I’ll meet ya at the SEE-ment pond in 5 miutes”!!
Mary Ann looked too much like my sister. Ginger however reminded me of the girls in the magazines hidden in my Dad’s workshop that I wasn’t suppose to know about.
Heh, heh, heh...
My plan has worked...
(It’s still Ginger, though. I think we all know that I’m right.)
Ginger is a slut and had the hots for Mr. Howell. Lovey and the Skipper used to do it behind the coconut trees and the Prof did Mary Ann when he wasn’t to busy. Any more questions?
Wow
Time flies by yo-yo.
unfortunately.....
I’m 44 now.
I actually took a long look in the mirror the other day for the first time in a while and....
Well, i really don’t want to talk about it...
ugh
Damn you. I feel really, really old now :(
FYI
Donna Douglas was born in 1933
I think we can cut her some slack...

Um.....WOW
What’d Gilligan do?
Oh....nevermind...
When I was a kid my aunt and uncle and cousins came out to visit in Southern California. One day we were showing them the sights and were driving through Beverly Hills when we spotted the Beverly Hillbillies shooting a scene driving the truck. We followed them to a backstreet and walked over to them. There were only a few fans besides ourselves.
Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, and Donna Douglas were very nice. Irene Ryan was very sweet and went out of her way, fussing all over my youngest cousin who was a skinny little squirt. Staying in character, she said, "Why you're going to be as big as Jethro!"
Max Baer seemed put out and bee-lined from the truck to the limo.
I don’t know anybody who preferred Ginger.
Barbie Doll is used to problems. Tidbit of trivia about the creator of Barbie, Ruth Handler:
1978: Pled no contest to charges of false reporting to the SEC, fraud, and conspiracy.
But the good times soon soured. Ruth described the major mistake made by Mattel in her autobiography: “We should have stayed in the toy business, accepted a slower growth rate, and resisted the temptation to acquire so freely. Our organization was not really equipped to evaluate and control so many diverse companies, and our internal auditing capability was inadequate to ferret out the problems in advance.” In 1970 Mattel’s plant in Mexico was destroyed by fire, which necessitated the cancellation of one-third of that year’s Christmas orders, and the following year a shipyard strike in the Far East cut off their toy supplies during their busiest season. To maintain the appearance of corporate growth, the financial records showed as income millions of dollars of orders that had been placed but not fulfilled. For two years (1971 and 1972) Mattel issued false and misleading financial reports. In 1973 the company reported a $32 million loss just three weeks after stockholders had been assured that the company was in sound financial condition. Mattel’s stock plummeted and the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) stepped in to investigate.
Ruth, in charge of the company’s administrative and financial affairs, was indicted by a grand jury in 1978. She entered a no contest plea to the charges (false reporting to the SEC, fraud, and conspiracy) and was ordered to pay $57,000 in fines. Her 41-year sentence was suspended for a probation of five years, during which she was required to perform 500 hours per year of community service. Elliot, a product designer with no say in the day to day running of the company, was exonerated. The federal court ordered Mattel to restructure, while the firm’s bankers and creditors pressured the Handlers to resign. Shareholders then entered a series of class-action lawsuits. To settle, the Handlers turned over 2.5 million shares of their own stock, described by Ruth as “half of everything we’d worked for in the previous thirty years.” In 1980 the Handlers cashed in most of their remaining Mattel stock (worth $18.5 million), ending their involvement in the company they had founded.
The best thing about Possum Innards-—They are just as good the second day.
