That poster came out when I was 5, and my older brother had it hanging on his wall. I remember asking him why her chest was all puffy under the swimsuit, and he told me that she was bitten by a snake and it was swollen from the poison. So for the next 4 or so years I assumed all women suffered from poisonous snake bites. there are a few jokes in there somewhere…..
That poster caused some swelling at our house as well.
You guys are all too damn old. The biggest memory I have of FF was when she acted like a nutcase on Letterman. Besides that the only time I ever saw her on Charlie’s Angles was when they were running re-runs – I think I was only about five when it went off the air so I have no memories of it when it was in primetime.
I guess I simply don’t have the frame of reference to be able to relate to her status as an icon.
Oh, this snake has bitten those a few times.
Funny you bring up Charlie’s Angels. Someone told me once I sound like Bosley.
I have a memorial set
To quote Steve Martin, “and to think how many hours I spend holding up her poster with ONE hand!”
How about the old joke, You know what a plumber’s dream day is?
Fixing Farah’s fawcet and Olivia Newton’s john.
RIP FF.
Martin needs to get some thumb tacks . . . I’m just saying.
I like the Steve Martin quote. I vote her babe of the week. She came through Hollywood at a more innocent time when heroes were Lee Majors and romance was Ryan O’Neal. It was before drug kings and drive-by shootings. What I respect about her is how bravely she fought cancer. Michael Jackson got what he deserved. Farah should have lived at least another 5 years.
I second FF for Babe of the week! Great idea PG.
So when do we get a post remembering Billy Mays?
Rumor has it if you act now you can get a ticket to his funeral for only $19.95. Call within the next 60 minutes and they will double the offer. That is two tickets for the low, low price of $19.95. Call now.
I heard he died from an overdose of Just For Men beard dye.
Actaully I think Vince (the Shamwow guy) gave him a slap chop to the back of the neck, but we will have to wait for the autopsy to confirm.
