…I do a simple “dead” entry, and follow it up with a few video clips of them from YouTube.
You can see examples of that here, here and here.
This morning, after learning that Farrah Fawcett had passed away, I didn’t know whether to post a blog or not.
Nothing against her, but I simply don’t know that much about her outside of the fact that she was on “Charlie’s Angels”, a show I’ve seen maybe two episodes of. Probably not even that many, to be honest.
But then, during a news story that was covering her death, an image of this poster flashed up on the screen:

My grandfather had that poster hanging on his bedroom door probably as recently as five years ago. I grew up staring at that poster, ogling her cleavage and… gasp! Nipples?!?
Oddly enough, I didn’t draw the connection between Farrah Fawcett and that poster until today.
So rather than post a bunch of video clips of stuff I’m not familiar with, I’m gonna leave you with the image of a poster I was very familiar with as a child.
Strangely, tomorrow would have been my grandfather’s 80th birthday. So this post’s for you, Hi-Guy.
More on Hi-Guy tomorrow,

Likewise, my friend from grade school through high school had that poster. That is all I know of her.
BTW, tell your lady-friend that it’s not Walter but Michael.

I had the poster on my wall as a kid right between my KISS and Star Wars posters. My best friend in kindergarten had a fuzzy rug with the same image for nap time. Wow that just sounds funky. A five year old napping on a fuzzy rug with a smiling, nipply Farrah Fawcette Majors.

That poster is all I knew of her really. That and everyone had the “Farrah” haircut. It was hot in the late 70′s much like the Rachel in the mid 90′s.
My mom was really upset…

Your mom was upset that everyone in the mid-90s had Rachel hair?

You know, the first thing I told Dave when Farrah died, was, “You know, Hi-Guy had the famous poster of her hanging up in his house…”
Man. Yes, I agree with Dwellephant, Hi-Guy’s heaven just got more interesting!
