I can’t believe it, but somehow I missed this news for over 24 hours.

If I positioned myself I only moved an inch.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Though I found myself at her desk more often.

Thus the saying, “You only need to feed pigeons once – so don’t do it !” 🙂

The poster. Me and my roomate at school had one.
I guess what still gets me with Farah’s passing is that it all seems like just yesterday. Where did the time go?

Regarding Michael Jackson, I think he was a great talent – but creepy.

It’s difficult to disentangle the two views from each other as I keep remembering all of the little boy controversy from a few years ago.

Having said that, I do in fact have the Thriller CD.

It came with a DVD as well, and my kids while were watching one of the videos yesterday they were asking where the conveyor belt was that he was *moon-walking* on.

Their expressions were priceless when I explained he was doing it WITHOUT special effects….lol.

Wonder where I could find one of those posters now to hang in the garage (aka, man cave/refuge/sanctuary)?

Celebrity deaths will distract people long enough for the Administration to perform a memory-wipe on everything they have ever said on Iran, health care, and energy. Reset to zero, with the President picking up approval points with some unctuous and sentimental comments (on teleprompter).

I have a lot of sympathy for Farrah Fawcett’s family. This has been a hard road than many must go down.

I don’t know what to think about Michael Jackson. His music never appealed to me, and his personality had no meaning in my narrative. It is sad, ceteris paribus, that anyone should die an untimely death. Yet he lived a hard life, and one can only guess at the demons that were imprisoned in his heart. For all his fame and money, he was pitiable.

Baklava, interesting phrasing, “she positioned herself”…are you sure it wasn’t you who “positioned yourself”?
On the other hand, I can’t imagine in my school any teacher wearing something so low-cut that required careful “positioning”, to avoid the accidents.

Can’t say anything about Farah Fawsett – don’t have any personal history associated with her or her image…but the subject of boys and posters of inviting-looking girls brought back few flashes.

By changing exhibition on my son’s bedroom walls I observed his shifting interests (naturally, I kept my mouth shut.) When (beautifully designed) posters of Korn and RHCP suddenly disappeared, and instead there hang Chinese girls with fake everything, from smiles to postures, leaning on some shiny car, I thought – “uh-oh. It started. ”
Officially, it were the cars he was interested in. Not the silicone.

you’re not that much younger than me!

She was almost every boys fantasy girl for quite some time stirred by that poster, surprised you knew about this Neo, it was a secret 🙂
I had several friends whose mothers made them take it down, sad, it was like “dude where is your Farrah Fawcett poster?” “My Mom took it away” I think it was all because of the nipple, both the attraction and repression.
BTW, here is a nice collection of Farrah photos:
