I've been Gathering for the Addams Family TV show on DVD, at Borders. I'm TWO points shy of placing that order for that next gift card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't I make a lovely Morticia !!!  I couldn't put this pic big in my article, when I click on it to make it bigger it just goes off and makes a whole new page.  I can't "drag" the picture anywhere then.  Drats.

~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Dec 23, 2008, 9:50am EST
I'm thinking what Lynn is thinking, Peter.
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 9:51am EST
And you make a more beautiful Morticia that the original. :)
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Dec 23, 2008, 9:51am EST
Plus, you look even better than the original Lucretia, or whatever her name was. (I forget). Just imagine that!
Heather M. Dec 23, 2008, 9:51am EST
You are such a sweet funny person peter i hope you get everything you want for Christmas!
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Dec 23, 2008, 9:51am EST
Aaaaaah, Morticia! Thank you, Lynn!
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 9:51am EST
I'm in the Christmas Spirit so I'm giving you a few more comments before moving on. ;)
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 9:52am EST
Hey Nee, Hey Heather isn't he a cutie pie? lol
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Dec 23, 2008, 9:52am EST
. . .besides, you would never do as a Scrooge. Bad typecasting, Peter.
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Dec 23, 2008, 9:52am EST
. . .then this for you. My holiday message to you:

Photobucket

kelldogg ! Dec 23, 2008, 9:53am EST
Best of luck to you, Peter!!!
donna f. Dec 23, 2008, 9:53am EST
Here's .001 of those points, give or take. Merry Whatever to you!!!...BTW, I kind of figured you more of a Vampirella or even Elvira, than Morticia.
kelldogg ! Dec 23, 2008, 9:54am EST
Feliz Navidad!
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Dec 23, 2008, 9:54am EST
I must tell you that YOU, and contact with you -- each and every time -- has been such an absolute pleasure, Peter. You are just wonderful, and you are entertaining.

You need to come to Hollywood, or rather, knowing YOU . . .

HOLLYWOOD should come to YOU!!!
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 9:54am EST
Blessings to you this holiday season. I hope it's all you hope for and more.
mary bryant Dec 23, 2008, 9:55am EST
helping you to it ! lol nice pic
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Dec 23, 2008, 9:56am EST
Who played Morticia anyway? Angelica Houston for films and Carolyn Jones for television, I think.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:00am EST
Yeah, I think it was Carolyn Jones. She was fun.
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:00am EST
You know who would have made a WONDERFUL Morticia in her day? Joan Crawford. She was beautiful, had that look about her, oh, yeah, Joanie would rocked at playing Morticia.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:00am EST
I hear you Poet Dawn !!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:01am EST
It's a sad shame Joan never played a Vampire (she played enough Vamps).
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:01am EST
Oops, that's should've been would've rocked. Oh, well, you catch my drift.
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:02am EST
Yes she did play the vampy parts. But didn't they all back then?
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Dec 23, 2008, 10:03am EST
Ihope you reach your goal now!
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:04am EST
Joan was the femme fatale queen. And so was Marlene Dietrich !!!
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:04am EST
We were watching some old b&w movie not too long ago and actually watched the star (the husband) slap the starlet (the wife) in the face and told her to calm down. She in turn BEGGED for his forgiveness and lit him a cigarette and made him a martini.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:06am EST
Oh dear
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:06am EST
There was a lot of slapping as the cure for hysteria. I would think slapping would CAUSE hysteria !!!
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:07am EST
We kind of sat numb through the whole movie and I think hubby was a little sick at the whole thing. He said "Can you believe woman were probably REALLY treated like that in real life?" I said "Good thing times have changed cause I'd certainly hate to knock you on your little cute butt if you ever treated me like that." LOL
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:07am EST
If you slap me, I am hysterical !!!
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:07am EST
In this house Peter it would cause a war. lol
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:08am EST
Exactly
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:08am EST
I think a good cure for hysteria is a big fat kiss on the lips !!!!
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:08am EST
Slapping is not a good thing and I'm glad they got that out of their systems early on.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:09am EST
If a man is hysterical, just get him to breathe deep and focus on his d###.
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:09am EST
Me too. Or even 'What the H is wrong with you woman? Snap out of it!!' is much better than a slap on the face. lol
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:10am EST
That works for hubby. He likes to focus.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:11am EST
How about, "Woman, when you do that, you look fat."

(or will that just cause more hysteria?)
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:12am EST
Bahahahaha, that might not work.
Kimberly Ripley Dec 23, 2008, 10:13am EST
Love the photo.
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:13am EST
Or how about, "Aw, hon, when you do that you remind me of my mom (or ex, whichever fits)."
Kimberly Ripley Dec 23, 2008, 10:13am EST
No....I mean it. I really love the photo.
Kimberly Ripley Dec 23, 2008, 10:13am EST
Have I mentioned how much I love that photo?
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:13am EST
"Let's go shopping"
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 10:14am EST
Kimberly, mention it again ....
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:15am EST
Woo-Hoo, you made it????
Lynn R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:16am EST
You do look pretty snazzy. I like it too.
ann c. Dec 23, 2008, 10:17am EST
Hope you reach your ghoul!!! You do make a lovely Morticia!!
David Salyer Dec 23, 2008, 10:18am EST
You should have that DVD in no time!
William Dotani Dec 23, 2008, 10:39am EST
A finer Mortica I have never seen.
William Dotani Dec 23, 2008, 10:42am EST
My preference is the Munsters, but I liked the Adams Family for its satire. I think only Green Acres was more satirical than the Adams Family. Well, maybe F Troop and Fernwood Tonight too.
William Dotani Dec 23, 2008, 10:43am EST
I forgot about Soap and Mary Hartman Mary Hartman and All In The Family. Where did the good satire writers go.
William Dotani Dec 23, 2008, 10:44am EST
By the way, I'm on page 11 of your book.
William Dotani Dec 23, 2008, 10:45am EST
That's enough comments for a couple points I think, unless Groucho's Magic Word is used in calculating points.
ann c. Dec 23, 2008, 10:48am EST
What was Groucho's magic word anyway?
Marianne R. Dec 23, 2008, 10:51am EST
LOL, love the photo
Denise B. Dec 23, 2008, 11:02am EST
hope you have them by now :)
Tracy Fabre Dec 23, 2008, 11:08am EST
You're creepy and you're kooky, and altogether spooky... okay, you're not creepy, but I had to go for it.

LOVELY hair, dahling.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 11:22am EST
I think I have those 2 points ... and then some.

William, isn't page 11 a grand page ???
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 11:23am EST
I DO look creepy, that's Angelica Huston's forehead on my face ... ha ha.
ann c. Dec 23, 2008, 11:27am EST
Peter you simply must go read my latest post, "Twas the day before Upgrade". You are prominently featured in it!!!
Here... in the holiday spirit, I'm giving you some algorithmic portion of a point!
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, Dec 23, 2008, 11:57am EST
Oh for Pete's sake - BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dropping off a ten for you.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 23, 2008, 5:46pm EST
MUAH !!!
Chana M. Dec 23, 2008, 7:30pm EST
Peter I was really suprised you did not call me on using that Gloria Gaynor song on my article after the comment I made a couple of months about disco! Enjoy your Adams Family!
Wade A. Dec 23, 2008, 7:59pm EST
Absolutely stunning!
J F. Dec 23, 2008, 8:59pm EST
I'm sure you have them now. Cool pic.
