I hope you are enjoying your weekend! The weather here is PERFECT today, nice and sunny but not too hot--finally. Supposed to rain again tomorrow though, what a crock.
Anyway, here are a few photos that I wanted to add before I go lay down to take a nap....
This first one is Pete and I, standing with BURT WARD, (aka: "Robin" from the 1960's BATMAN).
HA!! Yeah, I asked Burt if he would "punch" me in the face, and he laughed so hard...he said, "You won't have your lawyers SUE ME later on, will ya?!" So we promised him we would put a big "POW!" in between his fist and my face. He thought we were a hoot! He walks around the corner, nearly 2 hours late, (we had been standing in line nearly that long), and he yells out, "CITIZENS!" and everybody suddenly forgave him for his tardiness. I wanted to ask him which character was his favorite one on the show, (my guess would have been Julie Newmar or Eartha Kitt), but I never got the chance. We were too busy laughing about the punch in the face idea! I am such a total dork. But, hey, ya know what?! I have fun, and I think sometimes the celeb's appreciate that kinda silliness. Too bad Burt didn't LOOK very mean or tough with that silly smile on his face, and Pete's laughing so he didn't look like he was surprised or anything. THAT would have been hilarious!
Then, I called Pete's daughter because she and her hubby are BIG FANS of the WWE Wrestlers. There were 2 there, and I named them off and she nearly screamed in my ear. So, we had our pictures taken with them too...
This guy is John Morrison...now, remember that I have NO CLUE about anything wrestling-related, so he didn't really do much for me, but he was a nice piece of eye candy at least. But apparently my 8 year old nephew is GEEKED about it, too. I showed this John Morrison guy the photo of Burt Ward, and he absolutely loved it, so he suggested we do one with me in a headlock...of course, I went for it....and WOWEE did this guy smell GOOOOOOOD. What a sexy hunka honey!! I told him after the picture was taken that he smelled good, and he said, "Thank ya..." and I interrupted him, "DON'T SAY MA'AM OR I'LL WRESTLE YA TO THE GROUND, LITTLE MAN!" he laughed and laughed and laughed...we had fun talking to him.
Apparently he suffered a neck injury last year and had to have surgery, but he's been taking some time off this year. He said the WWE keeps him busy 220 shows a year, and he's been doing it for 9+ years, so it's time he had a break. It was so cute, he puts this headlock on me, and looks down to see my face. I was smiling, and he goes, "Nooo, no no, ya gotta look like I'm killin' ya!" So I stuck out my tongue and he said, "YEAH! That's it! Now hold still!" All the people in line waiting to meet him were laughing! God forbid I should give the badass tough guy a bad rep by smiling like it's FUN being head locked. (Truth be told, he coulda slammed me down on the ground and had his way with me too). But, ahem, I would NEVER suggest such a thing for REAL.....hehehe....I might THINK it though. :)
And then there was, MELINA...the 5 time women's wrestling champion...
I know, I know, we are BOTH a couple of total dorks. But hey, when you meet somebody cool like this in person, it's one of those "once in a lifetime" things, so why not make it FUN?!
I mean, all of those people that YOU stand next to who get THEIR pictures taken....(you told ME you couldn't do that in 1994 when I met you, ya slob).... they are all just standing there with a dopey grin on their faces, ya know? What fun is THAT?! Why not jazz it up a little bit and do something FUNNY?
Yeah, when you and I meet again someday, Stephen, we'll do something fun like this for a photo. I don't know what, yet, but believe me, it'll be something awesome. I do promise you THAT. Maybe I could put my hand around my ear, shrugging my shoulders with a confused look on my face, as you pretend to sing in my other ear...as if I can't hear ya or don't know who the hell you are....I dunno. Something goofy like that, because I am a dork, and that's what we dorks do best you know. We take goofy photos. Ya gotta admit, just the creativity of the idea ALONE is kinda funny.
Well, anyway, I'm off to go take a nap. Got up early today, and had a very long busy time at the comic book convention. I'm happy that I was able to get some Raggedy Ann dolls and stuff, (a plate and bowl set, and a cool cardboard doll "learn to sew" kit). THEN I saw this awesome STILL IN THE BOX, mint condition set of Raggedy Ann and Andy----they wanted $100 each though. I know on Ebay I could have turned around and sold them for $500 or more, but Pete wasn't gonna go for that, because he knows I'm a sucker and I wouldn't be able to part with 'em. I just love those damned things.
Anyway, I'll write again tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed your weekend. OH!! I almost forgot, we also talked with Deen Cain (the younger Superman from the t.v. show Lois and Clark), and we also took photos of Verne Troyer, "Mini Me," from the Austin Powers movies. It was pretty cool hangin' out with these people for awhile, though.
At one point, (silly, stupid, and NOT always politically correct ME), blurts out something without thinking, when I saw some guy walk up to Verne Troyer with a garbage bin that has his face on it and other stuff on it from Austin Powers, and asked him to sign it....I thought, "REALLY? A GARBAGE BIN?" So I blurted, "What's he got THAT stupid thing for, so Mini Me can SIT INSIDE IT or something? Wouldn't THAT be hilarious..." and these men in line with me at Burt Ward's table were howling...they thought I was a funny chick I guess. I felt bad, though, after I blurted that out, and said, "OH MY GAWD THE BOLT OF LIGHTENING IS GONNA STRIKE ME IN 3, 2...." which made them laugh even more. I must have blushed, because one guy said, "Don't worry, ya don't HAVE to be politically correct 24/7. Nobody can be!"
Ah well, I'm off to the wild blue yonder.
Bye for now. Love you more than John Morrison's cologne....(and holy HANNAH that was some good shit, whatever it was). Dat man's got some sexy damned PHERMONES goin' ON!!!
