This Mayim Bialik? [http://www.blackmailersdontshoot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/mayim-bialik.jpg](http://www.blackmailersdontshoot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/mayim-bialik.jpg) No apologies needed from her.

I rarely watch the show but after watching a William Shatner Priceline commercial I had to look up who the normal-pretty and funny blonde lady was who played his granddaughter. When I learned it was Cuoco I vowed that as God was my witness I would someday watch an episode or two. She’s a better actor than in _8 Simple Rules_ (I hated that show) and the first couple seasons of TBBT, which would make sense.

I have a bit of a glasses fetish, but Rauch looks better without hers. Without her clothes, too.

Can I go back to pretending I’m not shallow now?

Melissa Rauch is 4’ 11" tall, which makes her spectacularly beautiful by definition.

I’m going to go out on a limb and venture a guess that Mayim is likely a wonderful lady.

Sex appeal is not involved. But I think she would make a wonderful friend or mother or a wife.

Very fine lady.

As far as AFF goes, there just is no such person. No such thing.

So the Q is irrelevant.

As long as you don’t plan on catching any easily-vaccine-able childhood diseases and are happy to eat “pre-chewed” food and want to be breastfed until age 4, that is…

Um, Charlie Wayne, you do realize that Mayim Bialik was married and had two children long ago?

so, what you guys are saying is, the person he thought he was referring to, is as fictional as AFF?

I don’t know if this is relevant to the OP, but I just discovered this:

Mayim Bialik appeared in this (at 2:19) a year before she starred in _Blossom_.

Presumably chosen due to her appearance in _Beaches_.

Good news then. We won’t be competing for her affections. However, if she throws herself at me instead of you, well, I can’t be responsible for that. Just know that I wasn’t trying.

So you don’t think one can discuss characters such as AFF, Archie Bunker or Jacks Teller apart from the actors who play them? Seems very odd to me, as the characters are clearly different than the actors.

I understand that the physical appearance has a lot to do with who is chosen to be the actor, but it also is greatly dependent on the the director, wardrobe department and the actor’s ability to personify a character with mannerisms and inflections. We can absolutely analyze and discuss AFF apart from Mayim Bialik, or Sheldon Cooper apart from Jim Parsons.

Don’t worry about it. **Charlie Wayne** doesn’t exist, so the post is meaningless and we can safely ignore it.
