Even on my best days, I’m still like 1/1oth of the human being that she is. We don’t deserve her.

(How dare you make an error. lol) I chose to focus on what you said, and yes, he had a wonderful smile.

Those in the above photo were his American teeth. They got redone after he went to Hollywood. (Pre-Hollywood British teeth below):

I teach 4th grade, and one of my kiddos asked if he could do sharing on Friday. He brought in his iPad and started to talk about his favorite singer who had recently died. He played “Let’s Dance” for the class and shared pictures that he found on the internet. It was the sweetest thing ever! Most of the class had no…

“If that is not practical, then I direct that my executors shall arrange for my remains to be cremated and my ashes scattered in Bali,” the will continued”

- Why Sandy got sick during the sleepover (from drinking, not just the sight of her own blood).


OH.

When I started randomly singing “Cool Rider” and my then-boyfriend/now-husband started singing along, I knew it was meant to be.

I totally read that wrong and thought it was a pic of a boner UNDER A DOOR! Then I keep reading to find out it was the DOORMAN! Like it was a clue! and I was amazed someone could slide their boner under a door...

I think Grease was my first exposure to The Makeover phenomenon. Still a sucker for makeovers (always my fave part in ANTM). For the record, I think they both changed for each other, and Sandy also wanted to change for herself (see Goodbye To Sandra Dee).

I always assumed they dated or hooked up because at the beginning pigtails girl says that Danny is looking good and rizzo says “That’s ancient history.”

And even better yet, her look at him. That mixture of delight that the situation went to all shit, with a bit of disappointment that he’s exactly as stupid as she thought he was. Hooray for Stockard Channing’s mad chops.

My feminist, engineer mother was always furious about the message in Grease- not all the innuendo, but the idea that Sandy can only find love if SHE is the one who changes herself completely and not negotiates compromise.

The school where my kids go does a big production every spring. Last year it was Grease. This is an Episcopal school, but we’re also in a very, very conservative part of the South, so I expected some changes to the songs/script. They were there (no pussy wagon, no chicks’ll cream). Except—this had a scene that wasn’t…

I always hated Grease, but I share the John Travolta crush - just from Urban Cowboy/Saturday Night Fever instead. I fully acknowledge that developing a crush on John Travolta based on the asshole he played in Urban Cowboy signifies some issues on my part.

I’m still not clear on the rules for the dance contest. Like, Cha-Cha wasn’t dancing with Danny for most of it. She was eliminated, right? How did she just get to go back in?

We were a movie musical-loving family, but my parents wouldn’t allow me to watch this movie when I was a kid, even though I begged because everybody at school had seen it. I finally saw it in late high school. Good parenting, mom and dad.

I, too, was confused by Rizzo and Kenickie’s exchange in the car as a young catholic boy. However, it took me a very very long time to realize that the thing that Kenickie was carrying around since the 7th grade was in fact a condom. I thought it was a ring. Like a wedding ring that he was going to give her so they…

I think Danny and Rizzo understood each other better than anyone. The knowing looks he gave her when he first acted a fool in front of Sandy? That was clearly a cry for help.

Here’s looking at you, Malala.
