And of course you know the old trick about putting your hair up in a bun and then releasing it and flipping your flowing locks around?

Hmm, so that's why this gal at work was often doing that in front...we learn new things everyday and all that.

Hogan's Heroes' Bob Crane and HPD

Moonbear said:
I've heard of Hogan's Heroes, but never watched it.
It's star Bob Crane was the subject of the recent art-house movie Autofocus. Here is a good article on Bob Crane, his role as Colonel Hogan, and the bizarre circumstances surrounding his 1978 murder:
http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/classics/bob_crane/1.html

Apparently, Bob Crane (in real life) suffered from Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD). Here is some information on HPD:
http://www.toad.net/~arcturus/dd/histrion.htm

--
Males with HPD usually present with identity diffusion, disturbed relationships, and lack of impulse control. They are often promiscuous and bisexual... These men are emotionally immature, dramatic, and shallow... In men with HPD, disinhibition may be expressed through impulsivity, aggressive behavior, drug abuse, interpersonal exploitation, and numerous shallow sexual relationships...

From that article, it sounds like the show pre-dated me by a few years, and pre-dated my TV watching by more than a few years.

I thought Hogan's Heroes was a cartoon staring Hulk Hogan (of WWF fame), which came out about the time I was getting too old to watch cartoons. :redface: That would explain why I didn't recognize the character.

Moonbear, oh love of my life, I am shattered! Consider a combination of 'The Great Escape' and the Three Stooges, written and directed by people of lesser talent than Mel Brooks. Believe it or not, Richard Dawson did have a career before 'Family Feud' (not during or after). He was the token Brit in the POW camp. And before Brewnog or other erstwhile Brits bring it up, 'The Great Escape' was based upon a true story about British POW's. Hollyweird has trouble with stuff like that. :zzz:

PS: Who is ever too old to watch cartoons? The best opera that I ever heard or saw was 'The Bunny of Seville' starring, of course, Bugs. And the Flintstones was merely a celludoid version of the classic "Honeymooners" with Jackie Gleason.

Hey Gale..
Hope you look cool with your new glasses. Anyway, have you tried wearing contacts instead? :)

Okay, not too old for cartoons, but too old to get into newer cartoons. I prefer the old classics...the Road Runner and Wile E Coyote are my favorite Loony Toons.

You speak truly. They and Bugs/Daffy were the best ever. Never mind those politically correct bits of commercial-stuffing they put out now. (Except for the Pixar stuff, of course.) I believe that most of my inventive tendencies are directly channeling the fellow in charge of Acme Industries. Also, my car is a Roadrunner, so I have to maintain family loyalty.

Hey hey all! i got some pics of my new glasses which just came in. Let me know what you think...

Pretty obvious from your choice of forums...


Happy demi-birthday, by the way. I guess I can behave myself for another 6 months. :wink:

What do you have against Grissom?

It's not so much the earings as it is the smile that makes the portrait.

Nothing, per se. I'm just wondering why as a guy you have a picture of him instead of that nice naked one of Marg Helgenberger.
 
  • #53
Because I doubt a picture of Marg would somehow show approval of Gale's new look.

Maybe this one is slightly more appropriate.

They look great! And I like the earrings too! I can't wear dangly earrings; they get tangled in my hair. Well, since I let the holes in my ears close, I can't wear ANY of my earrings. I didn't do it on purpose, just don't wear earrings often enough, and then one day I went to put on a pair and discovered the holes stopped in the middle. :cry:

I thought that my Mosckowitz collection was weird, but...

So just sharpen them all... :confused:

Though, a monacle sounds fun to me. I've never seen anyone wearing one of those except the cartoon guy on the Monopoly box. :biggrin:

How about English the Butler on Kid Notorious?

Gawd, I love that show. All 10 episodes of it, that is. :smile:

those earings are cool people! sides, i can only wear dangly earings... my ears closed up on me loads of times when i was a kid, so i ended up repeircing them myself... and i didn't do a fantastic job... so now i can't wear studs and stuff, only dangly earings look ok.

And ya... i have a nose ring... its really small though, and hardly noticable or offensive. But i like it, and that's what matters.

...glad you're excited about the glasses... maybe you should take a trip to the states... i always need help with my physics homework.
