Geez. Now I'm kind of retroactively liking Richard Dawson quite a bit. Poking around, it just sounds like he was a basically decent guy -- he had two sons with his first wife, but she checked out of their lives, never saw them, and eventually wrote them out of her will; seeing that both of them live in LA and work as game show producers with their father's and other production companies, it sounds like he must have stepped up for them. Which shouldn't be that notable, just basic what-a-parent-is-supposed-to-do decency, but couldn't have been that common for a single dad in early 60's LA.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Yeah I'm with JZ. I never knew the kissing was him taking a stand. Awesome.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Richard Dawson was all kinds of awesome sounds like. I always enjoyed him. I mean he's no Charles Nelson Riley or Paul Lynde who are my all-time favorite Game Show people.
Today is Busy McBusy. I am already knee deep in it and I got in early today. Hate swamped Mondays. Silver lining is that annoying co-worker is out all week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I confess that I was totally creeped out by Richard Dawson as a child, with all the kissing. Ew.

Ha! And then you can learn about the Amazons. And spin around outside for exercise! And frost cookies blue with white stars!
Actually, I bet there is a day's worth of stuff on any character, with the history and background and theme food and whatnot.

Speaking of super crafts, I've been using some soap I made yonks ago, which is an oval with a star in the middle, and now I'm really considering making some more and trying to make a Captain America shield with them.

They are my favorites too. And now I like Richard Dawson better. I always thought he was a little sweaty. I saw this really great movie of his one man show "Life of Reilly" on Netflix. It was very enjoyable.

I thought Richard Dawson was creepy too. Sorry, dude, to not understand you.
