That was awesome, David.


"The Victorians delicately referred to her as "La Grande Horizontele."

"Homicidal temper; carried a whip. One of the most outrageous women of her time."

"So did her temper. When a man annoyed her, she typically would slash him across the face with the whip she always carried. On one occasion when a lover proved to be disappointing, she fired her pistol at the luckless romeo as he dodged ricocheting bullets while escaping down the street with his pants around his knees. But, on first meeting, she was charming, very charming"


Nice.

AAAHH!! I just saw him in "Strange Woman" with Hedy Lamarr, directed by Edgar G. Ulmer!!

You can see her home in Nevada City in the Sierra Nevada Foothills & take a tour of it!

Dissention -- Everett Dean Martin


Here's a related question: Which famous person in history would you want others to think of you as?

For me, it's Edmund Wilson.

Thank God you didn't say Marie Antoinette. When we had to pick French names back in school, my teacher allowed everyone else to pick their own but refused to let me pick mine citing I reminded her of Marie.

Joni Mitchell. I think my tongue's sharp enough, and I like irregular tunings :laugh:.

That doesn't bode well for you my dear :laugh:.

LMAO :laugh:

I don't know whether I should slap you or kiss you.

Well, I was gonna say Elmer Fudd :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo:

I, of course, am either Suzanne Sugarbaker or Belle Watlin' :laugh:

I do have a lot of Cary Grant/Gregory Peck in me though :eek: :laugh:

After reading up on him, I seriously don't see that comparison. :shrug:

As I sit here wondering why I'm the only female who's historical counterpart was a male... :confused:

Tell me about it!! I was like, great, this is what you think of me? She's like, no no no..i don't mean it in a bad way. Not a clue. Of course, if you were to compare me to a Queen, i'd prefer Elizabeth I, thanks.

hey at least you got on his list
male or not :D

No way, Dissention = Paul Lynde! I am totally laughing my ass off.

From Hollywood Squares? :lol:

yeah, except his name is Lynde--had to edit it. You know, he was on Bewitched too. Still lmao...

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding :laugh:

I have no idea what famous person I'm like. :shrug:

Apparently, I look like John Cusak though (according to you all) :laugh:

Wow, I got Dissention = Napoleon. strange.

You could be the character he played in about 10 teen movies in the 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DING DING DING DING DING DING!! :laugh:

:laugh: it's funny how people can have two totally different impressions of the same person. And anyway, Diss has a MUCH better sense of humour than Napolean! Come on! :laugh: And he's MUCH more queeny.

:thumbsup:
I have now corrected my spelling, if you want to edit your post.... :laugh:

Thus, he is an Empress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh to see him redo Mal Maison :laugh:

And MUCH taller. :laugh:

The male/female distinction is unimportant. Marshall left a lasting legacy of speaking out for the underdog & the underprivileged, & of securing justice & a fair shake for all.

Oh, I didn't even think of his sense of humour. I guess others probably think he is funnier than I do. I'm sure it is much better than Napoleon's though, you must be right about that!!!
More Queeny? Can't say, haven't met him....

I would pay. Seriously :laugh:

Well let's hope so...:laugh:

And MUCH cattier. Meow. :laugh:

Either have I but c'mon...total Queen ;)

Plz. Diss = Bea Arthur. :p :laugh:

I hear he does do a mean drag thingy, so maybe you're right...still.

The tone Amber, the TONE! It's like it jumps off the screen at me. I feel weird talking about Josh like he's not here. Hi Josh! :wavey: :laugh:

:blob2: :blob1: :thumbsup:

After thinking about this...way more than I probably should have....I realized, you're pretty much on target with that one. :sorry: :o

:laugh: I think you're right Hillary.
