"We're going to die and I'm wearing my mother's underwear!"

"Do I know you? Nah, I couldn't possibly, you're wearing a pair of goggles!"

Mother's underwear. Amazing. Favorite line from the HIGHLY underrated follow-up to Grease....Grease 2!

This film was friggin BrazIIIILiant! First of all, you had a WAY hotter blonde heroine, Stephanie Zinone, one fresh faced and hot as the day is long, Michelle Pfieffer in her first real film role!

You also had the return of Didi Conn aka Frenchy, Sid Ceaser as Coach Calhoun, Eve Arden as Miss Mcgee and Dody Goodman as the idiotically lovable Blanche. And a whole new set of T-Birds and Pink Ladies! Including Lorna Luft (aka Judy Garlands daughter!) and pre-Bachelor Party Adrian Zmed (<----- anything you wanted to know about Mr. Zmed is in this AWESOME video) AND a very pre-Happy Gilmore/Shooter Mcgavin - Christopher McDonald (side note...saw him at an audition once...had to constrain my mouth from screaming "I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast....you eat pieces of shit for breakfast? No!!")!!

There is so much I can say about the merit of this film, the music, the story, the ridiculously cheesy lyrics....the fact that there are songs about bowling, biology and the poorly masked identity of a classmate who simply wears goggles and rides a motorcycle and no one has any idea who he is because of this...but the truth is, the film just friggin STANDS UP after all this time. And I truly feel, sorry for the blasphemy, it's BETTER than it's predecessor. At least, it's a film that, if it's on TV, I will sit and watch the whole thing...and sing along....loudly.

Type cast

From day one, I had a type, minus my 1st grade crush on Wesley from Mr. Belvedere...he was the anomaly. Makes sense I married who I married, huh? Check this shizz out..in no particular order....

Wesley was the bad ass of the Owens household

Vinny from Doogie Howser...not afraid to admit it.

John Leguizamo - so hot in Romeo+Juliet

Had his doll and everything

1st cartoon crush...very disappointing

Ok...this one lasted AWHILE...like until last year...when I worked out next to him at the gym and he smelled like a friggin distillery....ugh.

I LOVED Desi...a lot.

How I accidentally learned about sex...

There should have been a GUIDE for parents whose kids stumbled upon the "telling your kids about sex" section of the Childcraft "Guide For Parents".

I see RED!

And it's not just Gene Wilder's fro!

Gawd...who DIDN'T want to be Kelly Lebrock?! I don't care that she gained a sh*t ton of weight. She already did her job! Being hot in the 80s. Heck, even I wanted to shower with her! Don't you?

Breaking News

What I learned:

1) He's probing

2) He's pushy

3) He's a perfectionist

4) I should really stop googling after midnight..no good comes of it.

I don't know!!

Sitting in front of my family's massive wood paneled television, watching the Canadian export "You Can't Do That on Television" is one of my earliest childhood memories.

At that point in time, I referred to the show as "Nikelodeon" because my brain hadn't developed to the point where I realized that shows had names.

But whenever I would waddle up to my parents pimp 70s tube and turn the knob, I'd click 3 magical times to the right to get to my favorite show.

What was it that captured my attention so? Was it the green slime? Was it Barth's method acting as he growled his famous "I heard that!" ? Might it have been my crush on a certain Canuck named Alastair? Or Lisa Ruddy's binge eating? Maybe it was a girl named after a moose?

Or could it have been an amalgam of all these fine elements, prepared into a fine stewy broth that created the warm feeling inside my pre-school self that I recall now so fondly.

To this day, whenever I hear the William Tell Overture my mind goes to the place of kids in lockers, firing squads and the thought that one day, just maybe, when I am particularly indecisive and exclaim such, slime will fall from the heavens atop my head. A girl can dream....

The truth revealed....

They're not real. This changes EVERYTHING.
