I feel like the proverbial mule stuck halfway between haystacks of equal size. Let’s see . . . for a one-night only kind of thing, Teri Garr, cause she’s more of a classic beauty; as a regular thing, Madeline Kahn, because I think she’d do more to keep things interesting between the sheets, more creative, dirty play, and so on. (Sorry, but you asked.) But really, it’s hard . . . to choose between them. I think both. ---

Either of them Any chick that can carry that kind of tune as she O’s would be one hell of a fun date. "Oh! Where you going? …Oh, you men are all alike! Seven or eight quick ones and then you’re out with the boys to boast and brag! YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! Oh… I think I love him! " You do not know how many times Mrs Bitties has done something along these lines. ---

“…in your vootschteps.” 😕 “Vootschteps, vootschteps, vootschteps!!” Ms. Kahn all the way for me. Loved her accent as Lili Von Schtupp in _Blazing Saddles_ ---

Teri Garr, for sure! but yeah, the late great Madaline was a very close second! ---

Definitely Teri Garr. “BANG BANG BANG” “What knockers!” “oh, sank you doctor.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by japatlgt \* > \*\*They deleted scenes on DVD?! Horrors!! Terri Garr definitely. > “roll, roll, roll in ze hay…” \*\* No, no, no - the scenes that they they saved from the cutting room floor - such as the ‘intellectual discussion’ scene (Fredrick and Inga have an intellectual discussion on the speed of light that is a thinly-veiled flirtation before they fool around in the lab), and the scene where, after leaving Elizabeth’s room, on his knees, he goes to Inga’s room (still on his knees) to see if she wants to have ANOTHER ‘intellectual discussion’. (With Teri Garr nicely backlit, while wearing a negligee - a little TOO well lit, as it doesn’t leave much to the imagination - probably why it was deleted in the first place) ---

I’ve always had the hots for Teri Garr, but theres just something about Madeline! Maybe it’s the way she was combing her hair in the mirror “Va voomm…Va vooom…” Cloris Leachman was a good looking woman back in her day too! ---

Heh, how serendipitous. I’ve been watching YF (with Mel Brook’s comentary) while waiting for the Sprint DSL to get its act together and let me (finally) surf again. Me? Gene Wilder. Definitely. I’d think Marty Feldman would keep me laughing to hard to do anything (the man was a comic great). Although Peter Boyle in leopard print jammies and reading the _Wall Street Journal_ does appeal to my intellectual sense. ---

Back then I would have loved to do it in the hay with Teri Garr, but for a long term thing I’d have preferred “Paddlin’ Madalyn Home.” Cloris was kinda cute, too! 😉 * * * Geezer ---

Teri Garr. She was just smoking back then. The **Young Frankenstein** DVD is a great one for any collection. Not only is the movie a classic, but it’s chock full of cool bonus features. Brooks’ commentary is great, and the out-takes of Feldman’s “turban” line (and Wilder’s inability to not crack up) are hilarious. ---

Was Garr the lab assistant one? Definitely. I’ll always choose the nerd girl, even if she isn’t a major hottie. When she _is_ a major hottie, well… ---
