That's a hard one, too. The edge probably has to go to Yvonne Craig, who played Batgirl! Talk about bringing the bust, the bootie, & the legs to the table - holy hotness, Batman! :-)

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being addicted to Facebook! :)"

I do not use my account nearly as much as my colleagues. I know some who are on it for hours at a times.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Have a great weekend as well.

I think you are great, I'm serious. I love politics as well. I've been listening to my parents since I was a kid.

And don't be shy, please come back. I'll ping ya again tomorrow, hehe.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Okay. No problemo. Phil is in Ohio this weekend attending a big Easter event.

[Army Air Corps]

I agree completely. Yvonne Craig was a physical manifestation of hotness.

So, which do you prefer: Ginger or Mary Anne?

I once got to meet all the players on the New Jersey Devils back in the late 1980s. Their practices were open to the public, and maybe a dozen people showed up one day to watch them.

Someone called in a bomb scare at South Mountain Arena (the rink in suburban New Jersey where they held their practices), so they evacuated everyone. Most of the fans went out the main door, but I went out the back with a couple of people who were there with their young kids. Sure enough -- after a few minutes the players all came walking out in their socks (they left their skates in the locker room), and they hung around outside and goofed around with the young kids for about half an hour until the police dogs finished searching the building.

Some of them unlocked their cars and turned on their car stereos, and it was kind of neat hearing which kind of music each of them played. Three players -- Patrik Sundstrom, Bruce Driver, and John MacLean -- opened the rear hatch and all the windows in Sundstrom's Jeep Cherokee, and they all crammed into the back of the SUV (pads and all!) while the music blasted for everyone to hear.

One little kid was off to one side with a small hockey stick, hitting a ball against the back wall of the arena. He couldn't have been older than five or six.

"Hey, Sean!" he yelled out (to Sean Burke, the Devils' starting goaltender back then), "I know you live in Verona 'cause my mom and I see you at the Kings supermarket there all the time!"

Burke, who had just opened his white Corvette and was leaning against the side of it talking to defenseman Tommy Albelin while some heavy metal music echoed from inside the car, laughed and said to a group of us who had gathered around his Corvette:

"Wow, that's a pretty smart kid -- and he looks like he's gonna be a good hockey player, too!"

I was at first. My school wasn't added until last October so we were all OBSESSED with it when it first came out. I don't usually spend much time on it anymore, I just check it. I spend way more time on FR than on Facebook.

[HitmanLV]

Never decided that one. I like them both - the problem with Ginger is that she can be insufferable, while Mary Ann was goodlooking, well built, and sweet.

Dawn Welles also aged a lot better, too.

[Army Air Corps]

Same here. I spend a total of about one hour per week on Facebook. FR, however, occupies much more time...

[ilovew]

Oh, I hadn't noticed he was missing. Really!

Okay, maybe I did.

[Army Air Corps]

"Dawn Welles also aged a lot better, too."

That is very true. She STILL looks good.

I lean towrads redheads, but Mary Anne had that irresistable "girl next door" quality that I have always found to be dead sexy.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Thanks for the compliment!

I'll be back. I guarantee it. ;)

[TheresaKett]

what's skeet-surfing?

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Thanks Barb! You & Mr. max have any neat weekend plans?

Hey there, Dolly!

Mr. Max and I will be attending my niece's baptism on Easter Sunday. We will be partying with family all day.

What are you up to this weekend?

[Victoria Delsoul]

"Hey, Sean!" he yelled out (to Sean Burke, the Devils' starting goaltender back then), "I know you live in Verona 'cause my mom and I see you at the Kings supermarket there all the time!"

ROTFLOL!!! Man oh man, that's hilarious.

And, is the kid a good hockey player?

[Army Air Corps]

"what's skeet-surfing?"

Take Mossberg 12-guage and a surfboard...

All.. This is from a lovely (but shy) Single Freeper Lady.. Wanted me to share with you all…

Why it takes just 30 seconds for women to date, mate or drift off
By Fran Yeoman
The Times April 14, 2006


HEY baby, what’s your favorite pizza topping? Surprising though it may seem, that question could hold the key to dating success.

Forget carefully crafted compliments and witty jokes, because an inquiry about the merits of pepperoni versus anchovy is more likely to get you that coveted telephone number, according to a study of speed dating.

And men need to get their champion chat-up lines in quickly, because women are even quicker to judge than they are. Almost half (45 per cent) of the women in a mass speed-dating experiment gave prospective partners the mental thumbs down in less than 30 seconds. The men took a minute and a half.
