The Sockpuppet Inside Me

This has absolutely nothing to do with music whatsoever, but I chanced across this clip today and, given that Shari Lewis was one of the great sex symbols/crushes of my adolescence -- to me, she was right up there babe-wise with Diana Rigg and Barbara Feldon -- I thought I might share it with you.



Apparently, she was a wee bit nutso, which in retrospect explains much.

Funny! Thanks so much for the laugh! I watched Shari Lewis and Lambchop too, although maybe not with the same kind of enjoyment as you. ;)

If I visit Steve's apartment I will now avoid picking up lambchop.

BTW, I checked out your blog, which is terrific. I'm bookmarking it now...

And your nym is hilarious....

Many of us lusted after Diana Rigg but I always thought I was the only one with a crush on Barbara Feldon. Her late 60s fashions and sexy alto voice were always the best part of "Get Smart" for me.

Apparently it was a good thing I didn't share your thang for Shari Lewis. That Lambchop story is priceless.

Shari Lewis? And people think I'm odd because I was infatuated with Rhoda Morgenstern. :)

But Diana Rigg and Barbara Feldon? You have lots of company on those two, my friend. They were truly the hotness.

BTW -- Barbara Feldon was a MENSA member.

Brains AND hotness...

Barbara Feldon, check, Diana Rigg, WOW, Shari Lewis, I gotta get back to you.

The Sherri story I heard was that she always ordered lamb when she went out for dinner. Nutso, or sick sense of humour? Who cares!
