Peter Pan's 'Wendy' as your biggest geek crush?

Penelope Pitstop even had her own show after Wacky Races.

I always assumed the Wacky Races was all characters from other cartoons.

[Zathras]

I know Dastardly and Muttly had a cartoon before Wacky Races.

It finally hit me.  I had a crush on Sylvia, a character that appeared in episodes of Little House On the Prairie in season 7.  It comes to a bad end, though.

I know Dastardly and Muttly had a cartoon before Wacky Races.

Wikipedia says Wacky Races was first in both cases (DD & M were in "DD&M and their Wonderful Flying Machines" or sum such, the second WR spinoff after PP).  I stand corrected.

The one thing I remember from Wacky Races was Muttley's laugh, or rather, snicker.  When I laugh so hard I'm crying, I sound like that, so my daughter has turned it into a verb ("Mom, you muttley'd!").

two words... (err names)

Valerie Bertinelli.

Wokka, Wokka.

On a related topic, if you had to feed one to the sharks, who would you keep, Mary Anne, or Ginger? 

(no brainer in my book.  Ginger was way to high maintenance, and Mary Anne can cook for you after...)

humm- Ginger: hot redhead.. and I have a biological preference for red heads. But I'm with ya on the Mary Ann- plus cute pig tails, and low maitnence.

My first SF crush was Noah Hathaway... Boxy on the original Battlestar Galactica.

You interest me more and more.  Mary Ann is my preference, too.

... and came across the theory that Peter Pan's 'Wendy' is every geek's biggest crush from his early childhood on. 

Right story/movie, wrong character.

For me it was the 'toon version of Tinkerbell.

I just loved her in that bit with the white towel in The Seven-Year Itch.

Oh, wait, that was Marilyn Monroe. Whatever. Very similar appearance, except for the wings.

If you're looking for a sexy Tinkerbell, try Ludivine Sagnier:



Try Google for photos of her in normal clothes.

As Chico Marx said in Room Service, "I like 'em a little bigger."

And that article made me think of the bit in Wayne's World when Garth asks Wayne if he thought that Bugs Bunny looked hot when he was in drag.

If we're talking literary pre-adolescent geek crushes, you can't do any better than Meg from A Wrinkle in Time.

I always had a thing for the awkward smart girls as a boy...and she pretty much saved the universe.
