I've got class right now, ask me anything.

[ForrestGump]

Just keep it clean.









*snicker*

Stop that.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

1. Have you always had class?

Or is this something you've cultivated over time? :loveya:

[ForrestGump]

7. I've always had it

the low variety, admittedly, but...still... :P

:loveya:

[buddhamama]

2. Call me when you have no class

:hi:

[ForrestGump]

8. I don't get no respect

But I get all the good invitations... :loveya:

[tinfoil tiaras]

3. I'm really surprised DU isn't blocked in class

It would be at my school..or are you in college? And do colleges have stupid internet filters? I hope not...

[ForrestGump]

9. Nope, not in school

Finally escaped The System when I was 36. :-)

And, nope, my university (at least, the computers I used) didn't seem to have any filtering except that certain usenet newgroups were censored out, before the Web hit and changed it all.

[tinfoil tiaras]

43. Oh, i see, nt.

[wildhorses]

4. in my class we clean with clorox...my question:

what do you clean with?

[ForrestGump]

10. I usually just wipe

it on my shirt.

It's the Y chromosome, I swear...

[mad-mommy]

5. I can ask anything?

[ForrestGump]

11. Yep! But only one question.

And you already used it. :P

[mad-mommy]

13. shit !

[ForrestGump]

17. That wasn't stated in the form of a question,

so I'll allow it. :D

[mad-mommy]

19. my question is....

how will my day be tomorrow?

[ForrestGump]

22. It will be roughly 24 hours long and be

better than today, but not as good as the next day.

I have spoken, and it is so.

[mad-mommy]

23. today was mellow

oh, and it's now really tomorrow for me, it's already today, and today there's goign to be lots of yelling. Lots.

[ForrestGump]

24. Turn your hearing down, your heart back to mellow,

and focus on thoughts of Hawaiian music (unless Hawaiian music really annoys you) and it will again be tomorrow before you know it. I hope it is better than it's looking to be... :hug:

[mad-mommy]

26. ok, we need to start a fun thread now....unless

we get crazy with this one

[ForrestGump]

27. Here we are:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5530177

:evilgrin:

Yeah, baby!!!

[mtowngman]

6. Why do you hate 'murika?

[ForrestGump]

12. Because Michael Bolton is from there

Of course!

[Floogeldy]

14. AW

:smoke:

[ForrestGump]

18. It's a type of root beer

I believe... :P

[merh]

15. Did Elvis and Ann Margaret ever

well, you know, did they do the horizontal bop? :shrug:


try to keep it clean, young DUer posted in thread above ;)

[ForrestGump]

20. I'd say there's about 100% chance of that

It's the source of my Elvis envy... :-(







Happiness...is a clean thread...

[merh]

25. Their chemistry is why

Viva Las Vegas was the sexiest of all of his movies.

I sooooooo wanted to be Ann Margaret. :(

:hi:

[ForrestGump]

29. Yeah..talk about some potent personal chemistry

She was the best-matched of his leading ladies. Casting Nancy Sinatra in Speedway was a poor attempt to recapture that magic.

He was involved with Ann Margret for about a year, I think, though they stayed close to the end (she was at his funeral, along with Roger Smith) and he sent her flowers every time she opened in Vegas. Lots of people think he should have married her, instead of Priscilla -- I don't know if two such dynamic people with busy entertainment careers could have held a marriage together, but I do like the idea.

Ann Margret's like Elvis -- eternal. :loveya:

[merh]

30. and she refuses to discuss their relationship

she won't deny or admit to any physical action.

Heck, Ann Margaret is the female version of Elvis. :pals:

[ForrestGump]

32. She really was and is the female Elvis

:D

And I wish everybody had the class she does, in refusing to publically tell all.

:hug:

[idgiehkt]

16. Elvis question

Is it true Elvis said he'd slept with all of his leading ladies except for one? I can't remember where I heard that.

edit: lol, merh and I have our minds in the same gutter.

[ForrestGump]

21. Well, the statement's may at least be partly true but I'm not sure if it's

attributed to Elvis, himself (he'd never say it in public, but could have said it to one of his entourage), or someone who knew him during the movie years.

I do know that Mary Tyler Moore said something very much like it and claims she was the sole exception and that Elvis treated her like a sister, though I've also read stories from other of his leading ladies who seemed to enjoy not a romantic but a brotherly relationship with Elvis (sometimes he went for supporting players, anyway, rather than the leading lady), so I'm sure the quote's not entirely true.

[idgiehkt]

28. Have you ever done a recording of "Don't Be Cruel" or "Teddy Bear"?

Hmmm?

[ForrestGump]

31. Yep

:D

Don't Be Cruel

Teddy Bear


On the same day, actually, back in my youth (well, this past January). :-)

[idgiehkt]

33. bless your heart

:hug:

those are my two favorites!

[ForrestGump]

34. No problema...

:hug:

Sweet patootie, now
Bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll!

[idgiehkt]

35. I'm on my second go round with Teddy Bear.

That really is my favorite. That was what I always called my boyfriend in high school..T.B. for short...:blush:


Are you the backing vocals too?

[ForrestGump]

36. Nope, I'm just the lead vocal

I like that track, though -- it was the most authentic-sounding I was able to find.

'TB'? I like that. :-)

"Hey, idgiehkt, why do you call me 'TB'?"

"It's 'cos you're so darned contagious, you teddy bear.." :D

[idgiehkt]

37. contagious? I never thought about the tuberculosis angle, lol.

it was silly, I know. He's a cop now, he married my best friend from the third grade. I called him once a few years ago and then he started calling me and wouldn't stop. Like every few days, while he was at work. His wife got pissed. It was a mess. I didn't call him for that reason. Why I am talking about this I know not. :shrug:

[ForrestGump]

38. Must have been his infectious smile

Though it sounds like he was the one who got re-innoculated with his feelings for you...that kind of thing doesn't seem unusual (something similar happened to a friend of mine not so long ago) and some of it's maybe him wanting to go back to the years when he felt he was really happy. But we're all different, in some ways (good ways, I hope, among the rest) than in high school and there's no going back...not really. It's an illusion, albeit sometimes one that'd be nice to visit.

[idgiehkt]

39. It stunned me.

Cause she's gorgeous and they had just had a baby, I think their daugther was 2 months old. I really didn't know how to handle it so I just didn't. I didn't take the calls, I let the machine pick them up. It kind of hurt me because this guy is top notch, salt of the earth. I've really actually never had a bad 'boyfriend experience' or whatever, and he was the top of the heap. I don't know what was going on, but I didn't want to find out. Maybe you're right about the high school thing. I don't know. They were also in the process of building a house...the whole situation just blew my mind because he seemed so casual about it.

[ForrestGump]

40. Well, I suppose you can still essentially be a good person

and have longings, especially for what (in our minds, if not in reality) at least seemed less complicated times or situations. I'm hardly an expert on human behavior, but I suspect hat something like a new baby (atop the stresses attendant with building a new house) could be one of many reasons for him suddenly wanting to just walk on the whole program. I hope he's on track again, for everyone's sake. And I think you did just the right thing, by not responding, hard though it might have been to experience. :hug:

[idgiehkt]

41. well I didn't think about it that way.

that is alot of stress at once. The first and only time I talked to him he was tending to the baby,when the calls kept coming I just didnt' return them. I just wanted him to be happy, because he deserves it above anyone; I've had three serioius boyfriends and everyone of them was salt of the earth. It sucks when you find out someone is not happy that you know deserves to me. Maybe it was just a glitch or something like a seven year itch or something. Hmmm, I haven't thought about it in a long, while, that's what all that Teddy Bear song brings up, which was excellent, by the way, thank you for that and Don't Be Cruel, as well. You rock! I have to go to sleep...goodnight!:hi:

[ForrestGump]

42. Not that it's an excuse for his behavior, of course,

but it could be a reason. Yeah, I think the seven-year-itch thing is right. Hopefully all of you can be friends again at some point when it all settles down but, if not, you'll always have high school. And "Teddy Bear"! :D

Thanks again, and goodnight...bodacious dreams! :hi:

[Spacemom]

44. Here's a question

About 6 years ago, my parents renewed their marriage vows with an Elvis impersonator in Vegas.

Was that you? ;)
