ReplyDeleteTelly Savalas, Karen? I just can't see it...
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your list!
ReplyDeleteSex in the back seat of a car...wow...hadn't thought about that in a while. I bet I couldn't do that any more either. (Must admit, I had the same reaction as Mary did to Telly Savalas..hehehe)
This was fun! Yes, Telly has that certain 'way' about him. Can't see it for myself, but I can sorta see what your saying. Think I might do this on my blog, too and tag some folks.
ReplyDeletePeace,
Michele
WHAT!!!!!!?!!! Telly is cool, hip, yet sophisticated and that voice! Close your eyes and let that voice just wrap around you!
ReplyDeleteDo you know that we share the same heritage, but in different proportions? Loved your tri meme!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, sex in the back of the car. I wouldn't WANT to do it now, even if I still could.
ReplyDeleteTelly used to be the man back in the day. Ramsey Lewis' "Sun Goddess" is the bomb, and excessive cuddling drives me crazy too!
