Is there anything you would NOT do for ten million dollars?

[Maddy McCall]

Is there? Hmmm?

[PeaceNikki]

1. I wouldn't wear that bikini you had back in the 80's.

No way, no how!! Uh uh!! x(

[Maddy McCall]

26. You're just jealous that you couldn't ....

drink beer, smoke, and still maintain a rockin' body to wear that bikini.

:P

[Radio_Lady]

33. UPDATE: I'm going to a Naked Ladies bathing suit optional evening swim next weekend!

Dynamite! It's sponsored by the local Unitarian Universalist fellowship I attend. Saturday, July 19th, at 7 PM. $18.00 for snacks and wine. No men in sight! Cool! We were told that it would be on a night during a beautiful phase of the moon. Will it be FULL???

I'll slip off my one-piece Tyr racing suit in the water quite decorously and fondly remember the days I swam with my tiny children in Miami. I don't do bikinis... have had an "outie" belly button since I was born. It should have been repaired when I was a baby, but it wasn't. I was evaluated for surgery on it decades ago, but it was decided to not be medically necessary. My young grandkids have fun with it in the bathtub. I put two eyepencil eyes and a lipliner pencil mouth on it -- it's a happy face! They laugh and laugh! They want me to show the neighbor kids, but I don't...

[Maddy McCall]

36. You go work it, Radio Lady....

and you have a ton of fun.

You know, these days there are lots of things that can be done with belly buttons. Pierce that sucker and put a hoop earring through it.

:D

[Radio_Lady]

37. Not a chance. I don't do elective piercings, tattoos, or any other kind of surgery.

My ears got pierced at age 40. My hymen went quite a bit earlier... Those were enough fun for me.

I think there's only one small tattoo of a hummingbird on my 45 year old stepdaughter. My daughter, age 40, had her ears pierced at about 12, then put a second pierce in one ear, but then let it close up. My 39 year old son had one ear pierced, but then let it close up. He's a Mormon now. I don't think they allow it, but not sure. It just ran its course.

No, I'm waiting for the next fads. My local grandchildren, ages 7 and 10, think piercings and tattoos are gross.

:loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

39. You should get Pinoccio tattooed on your belly.

:D

[Radio_Lady]

44. Actually, I loved Joan River's line... "How about a tattoo that includes the varicose veins...

on my thighs and ankles?"

Maybe a blue and red Chinese dragon???



My Aunt Lillian used to call the varicosities her "ROAD MAPS" up to the fun!

She was a hot ticket!

Miss you, Aunt Lil

[Deja Q]

2. Eat a Klondike(tm) bar?

:hide:

[Zuiderelle]

3. I wouldn't sleep with Larry King.

That's for damn sure.

[PeaceNikki]

5. WHAT!?!? But he's so hot n stuff!!

:rofl:

[Chan790]

6. WTF!

hair! :scared:

[Radio_Lady]

35. Oh, crap. Not that again... stop insulting him. His hair is not that wispy and not red.

:loveya: :rofl:

Please post a picture of YOURSELF at almost 75... when you reach it.

[Chan790]

42. I haven't got that much hair now!

Seriously. And I believe he really is a nice guy and it kicks-ass that he got you your first break...but if there were ever a chance of my hair doing that...I'd wear a hat 24/7.

No lie...I really thought that was a Photoshop at first-glance. I didn't think he had that much hair either. Frankly, I'm a little jealous.

30. Now, come on, you two P's in a pod! My personal history is... mine personally.

:hide: :rofl:

What kind of mileage will you two -- plus the two posts under you which are IGNORED -- get out of THIS thread??? I have to watch you people every minute.

You know I'm here to defend Larry King, a/k/a Larry Zeiger, a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn who had to change his ethnic name. His friendship was worth MORE than money to me -- he totally changed my life. How can you value something as wonderful as a person who quite accidentally gives you an important break?

After one initial date in the late 1950s, I heard his on-air plea for donuts and coffee and showed up unexpectedly at WIOD. He didn't remember me, but invited me to stay and screen the calls he was getting on his 11 PM to 5 AM program. He gave me tickets to events in Miami, but then he wouldn't show up most of the time. But I was there with extraordinary wealthy and interesting people. I had my own life's experiences on TV and of course, people tell me I have the gift of gab.

It's hard to explain what my relationship was about in late 1971 to early 1972. It was all a stroke of luck. Larry never gave me a dime. He had had at least two wives and two children at the time, as I recall. There wasn't that much intimacy and I couldn't even tell you if it was all that bad or good. I honestly don't remember.

What Larry (and his cohort-in-comedy Gary) did was made me laugh at a time in my life when most of my days were spent scraping together anything you could call a life. During that time, I don't even remember most of what I did. Mostly, I showed up a couple of nights a week and screened calls. Periodically, I gave him an hour-long audio tape of "listener opinions" which I got by going to one of the local malls and recording peoples' thoughts on mundane subjects. Not much politics or sports. (Think of Jay Leno's feature "jaywalking" without pictures!) I found it easy to do, and on days when I did it, we could all go home at 4 AM instead of 5 AM. I'm glad I had the talent to produce and host those segments.

Once, I gave him chicken soup when he was ill with fever in his beautiful but tiny apartment. I took care of his three-year-old daughter Chaia when he had custody; she was beautiful and just a year older than my daughter Linda, who is turning 40 in October.

Larry was a sweet, gentle and street-smart young man in his 20s when we went on only a single arranged date in Florida. Not classically handsome, but acceptable, he wore thick glasses. The picture at www.mugshots.com really doesn't do him justice. I think he looks a little like David Schwimmer. Larry was friendly and kind to his guests. He was curious about many subjects. He spun records and did mostly entertainment or author interviews with visiting celebrities. He did comedy routines. His TV sportscasting was phenomenal, and he was on radio and TV and had a newspaper column in the Miami Beach Sun.

His personal hygiene was impeccable, but his finances were clearly in a mess. I couldn't help him with that. He was arrested in December 1971, on a financial matter -- but never indicted or convicted. It took him years to get his life back together. I am so pleased he is still active and involved with so many positive pursuits. They just named a street after him. Did you see that? Larry will be 75 on November 19, 2008.

Meanwhile, I was back in the 70s, I found myself in the right place at the right time when he was arrested. I called the program manager of WIOD, and told him I needed work -- could I take over temporarily? No chance I would want that shift permanently -- it was a killer. I had day and night care for my kids. The PM said he'd hire me three nights a week or so -- while they were interviewing male hosts to fill the slot. I was grateful for the $50 a night and the chance to do the show. Believe me, it wasn't easy. I had an earful as a woman -- "Who are you? Where's Larry? You're not as good as Larry. Why don't they put a man on? Why don't you talk about sports?" The bias was so palpable you could cut it with a night.

As far as I know, Sally Jessie Raphael was on the radio in the daytime in West Palm Beach (I was a guest on her show during that time.) We were the only local women on Miami radio that I am aware of. Furthermore, I had co-hosted a children's TV show in 1957-58 while in college, then had other resume credits in New York City TV production, plus the degree from the University of Miami in Communications. I had the resume... just needed the chance.

It came one April day when I did a program with Bruce Lee (no, another Bruce Lee), the overnight host in Boston. We had done a show together and he presented the tape to the program manager, Dan Griffin. Dan was looking for a woman for the 10 AM - 2 PM shift. They flew me up to Boston, interviewed me for eight hours, and hired me a few weeks later.

I had to be in Boston ready to go on May 15, 1972. I believe that was a Monday.

Larry's brief and oblique friendship was worth more than gold ingots to me. I can't even value it except to say once again "He changed my whole life."

[Zuiderelle]

49. Great story!

And I don't think I've ever seen that picture from mugshots you pointed out. He certainly did look a little different back in the day...

[Radio_Lady]

56. Glad you liked it! It's true! Here's the King family in recent and better times --

I appreciate your post, PelosiFan.

SeeU@theDU

Cordially,

[DesertFlower]

46. how about george bush?

[terrya]

50. You're right. UGH.

I'm convinced Larry King died several years ago, but for reasons unfathomable to me, CNN has managed to reanimate his corpse.

[Chan790]

4. Sex with Ann Coulter

Cannibalism
Suicide
Eat meat. (Not just the ethics, it tastes terrible.)


That's just a short list off the top of my head, I'm sure I can think of more

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. oops

that bordered on TMI :yoiks:

[Chan790]

21. well...

yes, it did. Still...I suspect it was true for more people than will admit it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

28. OMG -- wonder who else saw that trash talk?!

:blush:

damn edit finger is tipsy tonight ;)

[mnhtnbb]

7. Shake hands with George Bush. But I would spit on him for $.01

[rebel with a cause]

19. shake hands maybe, as long as I could put a little extra into it,

but I would not vote for him for two million.

[Pierre.Suave]

8. There are many things I would not do

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. There isn't much.

But I think doing Karl Rove or George Bush would fall into that category.

[Arugula Latte]

15. Or ... Dick Cheney or Joe Lieberman

:scared: x( :puke:

[NewEnglandGirl]

16. Or Donald Rumsfeld

:puke: :puke: :puke:

:scared: :scared: :scared:

:hide:

[Withywindle]

13. Kill someone.

That's about it.

[NewEnglandGirl]

14. I wouldn't

harm anyone else

have sex with someone I couldn't stand

knowingly destroy my health

(probably more that I can't think of right now)

[Chan790]

17. I respect that sort of self-worth.

Money just isn't that important. It can't buy dignity or the ability to live with oneself.

[NewEnglandGirl]

23. Now I might get really upset

and go all ballistic in the heat of the moment but that would be for a different reason !!!!
:spank:

:P :hi: :)

[Chan790]

27. ...

[NewEnglandGirl]

55. I'll take that

under advisement !!! :P ;-)

[rebel with a cause]

22. the first two I agree with.

but since my health is aready gone, I would sacrifice that if I could leave my kids enough money to get a better start on their lives. Sometimes, you will do for others what you would not do for yourself. :shrug:

[NewEnglandGirl]

24. I understand what you are saying

I would do the same to protect my loved ones. I am sorry to hear that you are not well.

[rebel with a cause]

29. Thanks.

:nopity: I am pretty use to my fate, so it does not bother me anymore. And yes, most of us would do more for those we love than we would for ourselves. Don't know why it is, but that is how it is, especially mothers for their children.

[Ptah]

18. This would be much easier if it was multiple choice.

(B)

[bigwillq]

20. Murder

Robbery to a massive degree.

Now, if they said go steal a Kit Kat from the 7-11 for $10 million that Kit Kat would be mine in a minute. :P ;)

[Dinger]

25. I Wouldn't Vote For A repuke,

not even for 10 million dollars, never.

[Lethe]

31. no neutering or castration, but i'm open to anything else just about

:scared:

[Fox Mulder]

32. Kill anyone or anything.

:shrug:

[Zavulon]

34. Lots of things.

Sitting through an hour of those stupid Church Lady sketches comes to mind.

[BlueJazz]

38. Do something that would hurt Society... either singular or collectively

[flvegan]

40. No, nothing.

Because if offered $10 million to do something I found offensive (like killing someone or otherwise letting greed make me hurt another person) I'd demand the cash up front.

I'd "take out the trash" after that. I'm up $10 million, and only one person got hurt.

[Rhythm]

47. I wouldn't murder or hurt anyone

Other than that, i'm good.

[bridgit]

48. Is this mythological 10mil $'s already *in* my bank?

Cause that would go toward closing the deal if any :thumbsup:

[Lil Missy]

51. Considering the evil and sickening things people on DU could come up with ....

No way!!!

[China_cat]

52. Kill someone

step foot in my step-father's wife's house, put a healthy dog or cat to sleep.

[BlueIris]

53. I wouldn't enter into a fake engagement with Tom Cruise, wear a pregnancy prosthetic for 11 months,

then give an adopted baby a ridiculous name and pretend to be her mother for 2-5 years. Too big a hassle.

[DarkTirade]

54. ... only if I REALLY THOUGHT that person deserved to die...

:yoiks:
