Greetings one and all! The magnificent Jack Strange is signing off because I've decided to introduce my laptop to a special kind of software entitled sledge.hammer-Incorporated! I love you all, but the internet is driving me WHACKO! So, as of this moment, my laptop is getting a beating into the next life!!! As for the Stranger, I am venturing out into the great beyond..... to make my business BIG! For now, it seems the only relevant way to success...... is to destroy this addicting machinery. I'll always love this website, and all of you, and I recommend it to all future historians and buffs. With parting words to all of you........ from the words of wrestler 'Brother Love'.......... I LOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU! Strange

Well Tokeca Wanji, stay off those porn sites. You were making a solid contribution regarding LBH. As I see it, you have two choices:
1. Stay down in your bat cave deep in your dungeon in the dark until after sundown until such time as the natural urges from your habit will cause you to come back to the LBH websites with a new and more powerful laptop;
or
2. Brush your teeth, take a bath, come out into the world, go drive/ride around in a car, ride a bike, hang out with people, and work until such time as the natural urges from your habit will cause you to come to the conference at the battlefield next summer.
One or the other. I wish you all the best of luck. By the way, if you would move away from Iowa and out to somewhere like Hollywood, then you would have to change your name to Normal. You would be surprised where your talents would fit in.

You would be surprised where your talents would fit in. I prefer to abstain from such dreadful imagery. As a showbiz fellow, it is my belief that a properly-entertained person should NEVER need any use of any fornicative-materials. I'd much rather watch wholesome family films like Police Academy, Porky's Revenge, RoboCop, Dirty Harry, Conan The Barbarian, Friday 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan, Bikini Summer, and anything with Pia Zadora! Thats entertainment! Thats the good stuff! Very inspirational! I'm a very religious fellow so I'd rather keep my distance from anything X rated, terrible business that. Good advice all in all! The Stranger was experiencing a little tantrum when he made that last farewell. I often find myself asking, does Salvador Dali need a computer? Does Batman need a computer? Some how I begin to feel like the internet is taking away from the great reality of my Strangeworld. When I brag too much and use so many words, I feel detached from ACTION! So I was ready to decapitate my laptop with a few trusty whacks from my mighty sledge. Luckily I came to my senses and tucked the laptop away for a few weeks. I'll be back in a couple days, but I need to refresh the reality of my conquests........ i.e. I need time to implement my physical platforms, ready my businesses, and read a few more books. I'll hope to return with a revitalized supremecy, and maybe obtain a height of Goliath (I am one of the few bodybuilders who can grow in HEIGHT, I learned this trade from Ty Cobb..... many innovations there. ) Strange

You've never been to Hong Cong or Tiajunia, I take it.

Tokeca Wanji is back. Wonders never cease. Next thing we know you'll be buying the beer at the LBH conference next summer.
I take it you've never been to Bangkok with 20 baht in your pocket either. Probably find plenty of Pia Zadora impersonators there.

Pia Zadora is practically under 5 feet tall, so I imagine that it'd be very popular to mimick her in China! I started watching her in a Telly Savalas movie called "Fake Out". Then I caught her in that horribly deranged movie "Butterfly", which starred Orson Welles in his last film. My favorite above all, is none other than "Lonely Lady" (which exposes the gunk of Hollywood). Lonely Lady is derived from the Harold Robbins novel and I've always enjoyed movie adaptions from his stable, Tommy Lee Jones did a real nice one called The Betsy. Its always fascinating to see Tommy Lee Jones when he's younger, because he looks EXACTLY THE SAME!
Those other movies are the ones I grew up with. I saw RoboCop from my cradle when I was about 2 years old. It was really potent. I have memory all the way back to when I was a baby, and I attribute that to the fact that I still watch all the same movies. I don't go through phases where I leave things behind. It breaks my heart to see my brother do that.

PS I'd never go to mexico, its too hot and it would kill my muscles. And Hong Kong is a Commi place! I have nothing in common with Mao Tsung, other than the fact that neither of us will brush our teeth!

I know Pia. Really! I do. Or did. I'ts been a while. And 'Butterfly' was by far her best film. Everyone accused Rick of buying the Golden Globe she won for it, but he didn't. 'Lonely Lady' was awful and she hated it. It's what sent her back to singing, which is where she belonged anyway. She's exactly the same size as me -- 5'1 -- but far better packaged.

She also had a great part in The Naked Gun part 3 (and a 3rd). Its the part where Leslie Nielson breaks in on her show while masquerading like his alter ego Phil Donahue. My mom and dad told me she's 5'2", but I'm guessing she's shorter than Jimmy Hoffa. Butterfly creeps the hell outta me. I like it mainly for the Orson Welles part at the end. Her movies are always a bit hard to watch because of all the weird liasions and rapes, but they are packed with storyline and I like the film texture (i.e. Camera shots and lighting, offering up a nice dreamy landscape..... whether nightmarish or warm). Strange PS Do you mean you know her, as in real life? Or that you know her, as in fan? She's very mysterious, so I'd be happy to hear any dish if you actually have an inside edge!

Strange, a laptop is just a tool, like a pen or a pencil. You're the one who controls how and when you use it. It's only technology, not a lifestyle.
Welcome back!

Yes, in real life. We weren't best buddies or anything, but her production manager was a personal friend of ours, and we had dinner with her a couple of times. There's not a lot to tell. She is a very down to earth, bright and gracious lady. Yes she's private, but very normal. Dotes on her children and she named Kady after her character in Butterfly. I remember she was buying a pony for Kady and once we started talking horses, we really clicked! Many times a celebrity isn't as beautiful/handsome in person as they are on the screen. I know. Miss Vermont was on my dorm floor in college and in the morning that face would stop a clock. But Pia is even more beautiful in person. Drop dead gorgeous!

clw- Yes she's private, but very normal.
Staying private is likely what kept her normal. Heaven knows, the papparzzi are what drove me into the bottle.

When I was in high school, Miss Teenage South Carolina (from my school) was seated behind me in chemistry class. Not long into the school year Miss Teenage Florida transfered in and was seated behind her.
Needless to say, I flunked chemistry. In fact, I went up to the teacher at one point late in the year to ask a question, and having seen only the back of my head until then, the teacher looked at me and actually said, "Who are you?"

highwayand bywayman:
I can identify. although my experiences with "Miss" this or that are rather parochial. I once dated the third runner-up for the title of Miss Toronto, who was a true beauty [and once she wised up, sent me packing]. I also once dated the actual winner of the Miss Newfoundland contest [the one where nobody wins - it's a Newfie Joke]. I met her in the bank, where she worked, when I walked up to her "cage" to transact some business or other and stood there slack-jawed, like a scene from some movie, until the line behind me was snaking out the door and the manager had to come out and ask what I wanted.
She and I got along famously until one day a horse ran away with her and she smacked her head on a tree limb - like a scene from the Durango Kid. I visited her in hospital, and boy was she a mess - stitches here, and stitches there. We "broke up" the day after she stopped to look at furniture in a store window, and asked how "that dining room set would look in our place." We didn't have a place..................
Hasta la Adios, as they say.

You got farther than I did. I never got a date with either young lady. It may have been the perpetual Gomer Pyle grin I stared at them with as well as my constant drooling on Margie's (Miss SC) desk top.
I asked, but she just smiled, lightly pinched my cheek (the one on my face) and said, "Ahhhh highway, you're a cute little fella'." Then walked away.
I took it as her trying to playing hard to get, but after that she seemed to be playing hard to find as well. Determinded to prove myself, I went off to war. I became a general, won a Medal of Honor and returned for my 1st year high school reunion.
She had gained 200 pounds, had 9 children and was married to an alcoholic ex-high-school-football hero who swept out the local Burger Doodle at night. It's a common tale and true - kinda.
