Oh and btw, Gilligans Island and the Three Stoges have aired everywhere if you have cable, but that doesn't mean everyone watches them especially if ones under 30.

I can only speak of my experiences on the east coast, but Gilligan's Island and the Three Stooges aired regularly, and not on cable. And that doesn't mean these days I watch them regularly or would because I'm over thirty.

Guess their parents went to the George Foreman school of child-naming!!!

So you're saying the brunette Jeannie lived in the Foreman Grill?

It is in everything----bread, crackers, cereal, cake, cookies, beer, and some liquor. It totally sucks to have this stupid allergy.

A friend of mine has Celiac disease and can't eat anything with Gluten in it, so she's in the same boat as you, as far as having dozens and dozens of things she can't eat.

That must really suck.

Uh, did you make that up? Do you have a whole collection of "Bewitched" poetry? Or perhaps you dated a girl who loved to write poetry on the dynamics of the "Bewitched" characters? Do you have one that mentions either of the uncles?

I just wrote it. And I don't know enough of the characters to write about the uncles. I've only seen the show a few times, so I remember Samantha, Darrens, Tabitha, Endora, & the snooping neighbor. Though I know enough about the show that an uncle had a white mustache & English accent, right?

Wow, considering how much you seem to know about TV shows that i hardly know anything about, i'm suprised you don't know. That was actually Dr. Bombay that you're referring to, i think. Little know fact - "Bombay Saphire" is actually about him. There was an uncle that Paul Lynd played - he was fab - I forgot his name...Uncle? Anyone? He was very mischievous and gay...
Amber
Uncle Arthur! That's it!
By the way, the guy that just told me that (who works with me) was a drummer for USC when they recorded TUSK. So of course i got all excited and tried to ask him about it - what happened, was Stevie hot, did you talk to Mic, etc. He's kind of an a**hole anyway, but he was like "We got gigs all the time so I didn't care, I thought FM sucked, We all thought Mic was not a good drummer, and basically, I stomp vigorously on your excitement, Amber"
too bad....so close to an exciting and fulfilling FM coincidence...

The neighbor was Gladys Kravitz. I think the mustachio'd gentleman you are referring to is Maurice, but wasn't he Samantha's father? Paul Lynde was an uncle, if I remember correctly. It's been a loooong time since I've seen a Bewitched episode.

Thank you for your sympathy. Actually, I feel so much better now that I'm not eating it, so I don't miss it like I did at first.

Wow, it would suck to be allergic to corn. That is in everything, just about, especially corn syrup. Being allergic to gluten is worse than being allergic to barley. At least, I can have 100% whole wheat stuff. Your friend can't even have that. She can only have brown rice stuff.

I recently read a book that said that type O blood people should not eat wheat at all. It's actually not as hard as you think, you just have to go to a good Whole Foods, or whatever your natural food store is called. Also we can eat Ezekial bread, which is sprouted grain so it doesn't have the harmful shell, or whatever. And they have quite a few wheat free products. And of course there are still all the veggies, fruit and meat you want!!!

You want to talk flopped, let's discuss Bette Midler's shriveled boobs.

Shriveled?! Those things are so damn big they weigh her down!

(I think Dissention already said it all about Laura....she just strikes me as this Plastic Lady with nothing but air inside her skull....when I see that commercial of hers on the History Channel about preserving our historic places, I can't get to the remote fast enough....at least Hillary seems has a brain in her head.)

And a pair of balls between her...

I lack the perkiness, but thanks.

And to clarify, Curly had the shaved head, Shemp had the slicked dark hair with the part in the middle.
