No, not yet, still trying to figure if that is a scene out of a movie. The picture kinda lookes like an actor from Mad TV. Think the actress name was Mo Collins. She was in the 40 year old virgin, but has been in other movies.

I know... but that singer, blond babe isn't really me.  The kid on the back of his mother's bike is more like me.  He is just so cute.  The way I found out his name was Rerun was funny too.  I was eating something and watching one of the Charlie Brown Christmases and about choked when Lucy said "Rerun, Mom is never going to let you have a puppy".

I often wondered about the "blonde babe" when I first joined.  Perhaps that will make some think that I need to get a life :rofl;

I was very pissed in that photo.  I was in Miami with my Mum for her cousin's wedding.  I was supposed to be the flower girl but 3 days or so before the wedding she discovered he was a bigamist so that was off.  Mum made me wear the kilt and I hated skirts and someone gave me that doll and I wasn't keen on dolls.  I said I was hoping for some books.   Mum had just taken me inside for a chat about the importance of being gracious so I said I loved it and the elders felt it necessary to record my glee for posterity. 

Don't I look thrilled to death?   :sarcasm;
