Starred for the Bibi Galini reference. Played by the fabulous Abbe Lane. (Mrs. Xavier Cugat before Charo was)

Yep, Bryant is still “with us”. Deep sigh. Last I heard, she was, after a remarriage and a couple of bankruptcies, attempting to eke out a living in...where else? Branson, MO.

LOL I can’t think of two Anitas more unlike each other than Bryant and Hill!

Oh, even I’d forgotten that part, but yes. Good lord.

My top LuAnn moment was from season one, when she visited the center for “underpriviliged” kids. Her conversation with a young, chubby black girl there went like this:

What is this “leftover pasta” you describe? No such thing ever exists at my house.

It actually originates from Alice Roosevelt Longworth.

Thinking of starting an Anita Bryant death watch. These things run in threes, you know. You in?

Unless this behavior was a symptom of the disease itself.

So he was a leg man, then?

Yes, anecdotal evidence is the BEST evidence. Fuck statistics!

“Sex offenders” and “pedophiles” are not interchangeable terms. One does not necessarily mean the other.

I thought “person of interest” came into use AFTER Richard Jewell, and because of him?

It hasn’t been confirmed by any credible source that he is actually being audited in the first place. He merely *says* he’s being audited.

I’ve always written it as LuAnn because that’s how it is shown on the show.

If he’s actually embarrassed he shouldn’t be. I mean, if my body (and dick) looked that good I'd rarely wear clothes at all. Proudly.

Using this as an excuse to post one of my favorite songs of hers!

Is it self-aggrandizing? Sure, perhaps a little bit. But she’s answering a question; she was *specifically asked* about it.

Totally with you on Donn. It took me a while, but a couple of seasons in, I finally saw it.

The scenario you describe has already happened. Look up AA flight 191 on May 25, 1979.
