"Erin Walton" is the nicest gal!

I don’t know about any of the other Walton kids, but I just spent an hour on the phone with Mary McDonough, who’s a friend-of-a-friend, and she is just the eel’s eyelashes: funny, smart, snarky, nice . . . She’d make a great Doper, actually, but she probably has a “life.”

I was all set to like her, up till that last bit.

sulk

no worries, twix, we’ve got john-boy in town. perhaps he or norm don’t have lives.

hey eve, i do like to hear when stars are fun and someone normal. i guess they can’t all be bobby brown.

How did this phone call come about? Did you interview her or something? Is she writing a bio?

Or did you just say “hey Friend…you should give my phone number to your Friend and tell them to give it to Erin Walton. Maybe she’ll call me sometime?”

Cuz that’d be sweet!

Please explain to me this “eel’s eyelash” thing.

Also explain this “life” thing. (I should be compiling a report about air intake systems right now, and I just finished collaborating with a group to create a report about toaster springs. So I’m really lost on this. :smiley: )

Sounds like a cool phone call though.

So, didja suggest she sign up here, or are you keeping her all to yourself?

Ya know…the bee’s knees, the cat’s pajamas, etc. It’s a variation on a theme.

I think I know who you’re talking about, but I have no Walton’s reference point. I never saw that show. (I’ll probably be kicked out of America for that.) Any pics from then and now?

She’s writing now, and directs commercials and industrials, as well as still doing a little acting–so I’m trying to hook her up in magazine publishing with some of her articles.

I didn’t mention the Dope to her, 'cause I’m keeping this to myself, not her!

Then
Now

Her screaming “Calico!” scarred me for life. Hmph.

Had a crush then.

Have a crush now.

She was too young for me to crush on then but that problem has been solved. Wow! Same clan and everything.
