Onward!
Today's The Farrenkopf Family Inter-Net-Web Blog Poll: Choose Mother and Father's Celebrity Crushes!
One of the quirky little traits of our quirky little marriage is that Mother and I allow each other one Celebrity Crush, for life or at-a-time, respectively. This is what is known in relationship literature as "charming," as "developing a sense of playfulness in the relationship," and as a "red flag."
Today, by posting to the comments section, YOU get to decide our Celebrity Crushes.
First, for Father. Which of the following do you think would be the best Celebrity Crush for me?
1. Angelina Jolie
Father was first introduced to the charms of Ms Jolie on a plane flight, during which her fine film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was shown. Father failed to rent head-phones for the film, but it turns out that sound is not needed to enjoy the subtle charms of Ms Jolie's outstanding performance.
2. Tina Fey
Ms Fey, former head-writer of "Saturday Night Live" and star of her own "30 Rock" television program, is included here to illustrate that Father is not intimidated by intelligent, successful potential Celebrity Crushes. Also, she's smokin'.
3. The Cast of "Desperate Housewives"
But not Bree. Or Carlos.
Okay, now it is Mother's turn. Please vote only once.
1. Abraham Lincoln
Sixteenth President of the United States and creator of the terrific "Gettysburg Address" and "Emancipation Proclamation," Honest Abe loves long walks on the beach, red wine at bedtime, and women who look him in the eye.
2. Carol O'Connor
Star of "All In The Family" and "Archie's Place," as well as some cop show later on, Mr. O'Connor is not intimidating to Father both because he has a woman's name, and because he's been dead since 2001.
3. Rick Springfield
Mother's obsession with Mr. Springfield is well established in family lore. Father has no problem with this. Do not vote for Rick Springfield.
Let the voting commence!
Looking Ahead: Tonight Mother and I will be joining Cal Ripken, Jr. at a social function! Cal Ripken is a very successful player of The Baseball Game. This is particularly exciting for me, as I am fascinated by the world of sport due to the months that I played intramural soccer in the second grade.
