One secret favorite of mine is Amaryllis, from The Music Man.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

That's "Amaryll-ith"!
God, little Ronnie Howard was a cutie-pie in that film.

Juan Carlos will always be, to me, a super hot teenager I met in Venezuela.
Well, I must say that all the boy children in my family do tend to have absolutely beautiful faces. They all, however, share a tendency to get very overweight.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I know an Amaryllis -- but in my head, it always sounds like her Puerto Rican accent, not Ronnie Howard's lithp.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
God, little Ronnie Howard was a cutie-pie in that film.
He was thomething thpethial. Sold "Gary, Indiana" beautifully and really held his own alongside a scary-talented array of grown-ups.
I may just have died of teh movie cute, though--you reminded me to go look something up on IMDB, and I just found out that his brother Clint was in the old Winnie-the-Pooh cartoons, as the voice of Roo. I'd seen his name in the credits and vaguely supposed he might have been Christopher Robin, but Roo? Death by cute!

When I think of Clint Howard's voice, I think of his E-COM character from Apollo 13. "This is saying there's a quadruple failure! That can't be right. I'll get back to you, Gene..."

When I think of Ron Howard's voice, I think of Arrested Development.
It saddens me that Twilight may ruin a perfectly good obscure family name. SADDENS. Especially as I saddled Lillian with it as a middle name.
Neither of my parents' names seems poised for a come back. (Ronald and Esther) And my name is still not on the charts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just watched a special on Ron Howard and his 50(!) years in show business on TCM. Nice man.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm surprised there are so many boys there named Tea.
Hee. that would be Tea-for-Thomas. So to speak.

Our wings are not tired.
If I had a daughter she would have been named Victoria. Along with my last name it would have been a tribute to may favorite author in my stereotypical adolescence. I would have called her Tori. But boys I had and they were both named for loved ones in my family.
My family doesn't use their given names. My sister Norene has always been called Mona. My sister Mary we call Judi. My brother John we call Jim. They call me by my name.
