I love red hair as well. My first crush had red hair, and then my first
serious boyfriend did, too. My brother called him Opie. LOL.Well, I'm Irish, so
maybe that's the attraction.
Say it isn't so!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What? That I'm Irish?
I'm also Swedish.
NO THAT IT WAS RALPH MALPH WHO WAS YOUR CHACI!
I figured it had to be John McEnroe or at least Jimmy Conners.
Hee, hee.
Besides I couldn't make every post be about hot chicks and farm animals so I had to throw the ladies something.
Later I am going to post a photo of Geraldo Rivera for reader_iam.
LOL. I only had eyes for Borg!
Geraldo?
Borg. What you wanted to be assimilated?
Although Seven of Nine made it seem like a great idea ya know.
It's a journalism thing for reader. She likes those dashing journalist types ya know.
Assimilated with Bjorn Borg? Yes, very much! He's still pretty hot.
Just as long as you didn't try to sleep with Vitas Gerulitias. I heard that was very dangerous.
(obscure nasty tennis death joke)
(no disrespect intended)
You know what the Irishman did with his first 50 cent piece don't ya?
He married her.
Hey, the Irish are loyal.
Actually, I just made that up. I don't know if they are or not.
(and I didn't get the Vitas joke, which is probably a good thing!)
OH!
Poor Vitas. Nothing is sacred with you, Trooper. LOL.
That was big news at the time and led to a change in the law in New York City.
I actually met Vitas at a basketball game once and he would have laughed at that joke.
Yeah, I remembered as soon as I re-read your comment. I guess he was very well liked - Johnny Mac still talks about him occasionally while commentating.
And you're probably right - he probably would have laughed.
Yo, dude, I married an engineer.
And Geraldo, of all people? Boy, are you off base.
Now that I think it about it, almost everyone I ever dated for real was a science/math and/or music type. Hmmm.
I'm 1/4 Irish, btw. My dad is 1/2 Irish, 1/4 English, 1/4 Norwegian. His mom (red-haired, as were her siblings) was 100% Irish, the daughter of two 100% Irish immigrants. (She was born in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where her parents grew up/lived post-immigration.)
Interesting mix, reader!
Just curious...I lived in Sioux Falls, SD as a child for a bit, and there was a large Norwegian population there...any of your relatives out there? A beautiful place, Sioux Falls.
My dad's dad was an only child, and he, too, was an immigrant (from Yorkshire, England), as an adult. His father was also from Yorkshire, and a seafaring man. He met his wife in Bergen, Norway, on a leave, or whatever they called it in the latter 1800s, and they eloped (quite the little scandal, actually; that great-grandmother was the only relative on either side of either side of my family who was well off). Through inheritance, I ended up with all her photos and a couple-so dozen of postcards that this great-grandmother of mine received from her Norwegian relatives, but that's the closest to contact I've ever had to the Norwegian branch, none of the rest of whom left the country. My father never met any of them, except for his grandmother, whom I also met a few times when she was ancient and I was very young (in the 1960s).
No doubt TMI.
Can't read a word of Norwegian, by the way. One of these years I'll have to find a translator.
That set of great-grandparents did eventually end up stateside, too. He worked on ships for Dole Fruit for a while, and ended his career as a ship's captain on pleasure cruises from the states to Cuba and back (pre-revolution, of course!). I have pictures from that era, too, and even a couple of menus etc. from a couple of the trips.
No! Not TMI at all. Very interesting, thanks! You're very fortunate to have those mementos.
Instapundit linked to a photoblog the other day of a young woman's collection of old family photos. I found it very entertaining to browse through!
