#23  Only a donkey would have have come back. Dumbass ;)

Glad to see you were dumb enough to return to the world of slavery you made for yourself with this website. I would be hosed without it.

There cheers for Fred. Plus a couple more for good measure.

#22  She was a beautiful Appaloosa.

So, just like Ginger, someone spotted her rump?

#20  You are a true patriot, Fred - and one helluva nice guy.

Today's payday - I'll transfer some money into my PayPal account, to be transferred to yours as soon as it clears. And it still isn't nearly enough for all you do.

#18  Hawh, I named my horse Tina Louise when I was around 10 years old. She was a beautiful Appaloosa.

#17  Tina Louise...did not become a big star.

Tina Louise? Not a big star? That's nuts! She's Ginger on Gilligan's frikkin' Island. You don't get much bigger than that!

I always had a thing for Maryanne myself, but that's just me. Ginger is huge!

#16  oh to be part of that triangle........
Posted by: USN. Ret.   2007-05-31 13:59  

#15  For those who're cut off from information on her:
In terms of combining publicity with career building, Elaine Stewart forms a triangle with Kim Novak and Tina Louise. All three gained enormous media attention in the 1950s, and all three aroused considerable - and loyal - enthusiasm from the general public. The careers of all three demonstrate that having substantial parts in good movies is essential for a career to prosper. Kim Novak, backed by a major Hollywood studio, was given substantial roles in movies and became a big star. Tina Louise was never promoted by a major studio, did not work in grade A movies, and did not become a big star. Elaine Stewart had a contract with MGM, but was never given large parts in their big productions despite public interest in her, and her career did not fulfill its potential.

#14  Thanks Fred, for all you do. This site means so much to so many. It is simply an amazing resource from which to learn. Oh and Ms. Stewart has the look that says "Yes, I know what to do." Mmmmmmmmm.

#13  Welcome back, Fred. I think we've all missed you - and the lovely ladies. Anybody that targets Rantburg needs to be targeted in return. With JDAMS. You're one of a kind, and we appreciate it.

#12  You gotta be doing something right to get them to mount that kind of a determined attack. Keep it up!

And, uh, Elaine is quite nice.

#5  Dear Fred, I can only imagine the trials you've gone through in the last few days with sorting and barring specific ISP addresses. Thank you so much for all of the effort. I know all of us here have gotten a severe case of the heebie-jeebies from Rantburg deprivation, but none of that compares with the Herculean efforts you've been going through of late. Thank you for everything you to do to make Rantburg possible. Sincerely, Zenster

#4  I'm guessing nowadays you probably think about it even while on vacation! ;-)

The site's been getting hammered.

#3  I've real problems getting and posting the last few days. Assumed you were under heavy DoS attack.

What do you think I spend most of my time doing when I'm not on vacation?
