My real parents are Marilyn Monroe and Billy Bob Thornton.

It must be true! that’s the only way to explain my:

kind of sexy but child-like voice,

hour-glass figure,

goofy hillbilly accent,

big ol’ goofy teeth,

odd personality.

So who are YOUR real parents?

Archie and Edith Bunker.

You had to grow up in my house to understand but watching All In The Family was sometimes like watching a home video.

That was a really, really great OP; since I read it, I’ve been trying hard to come up with a suitable pair of parents for me (other than my real ones, of course; I resemble them in many, many ways).

OK: how 'bout Goldie Hawn and Dick Cavett?

  • Curly blond hair

  • Fits of total stereotypical blond goofiness

  • Skinniness

  • Usually serious intellect

  • Wide-ranging interests, from 16th-century proto-English-novels to present-day African politics to an obsession with hurricanes to frequently practicing my (terrible) Japanese calligraphy

  • I really, really love beer. (So does Dick Cavett; I have a bizarre story from 1986 or '87 to prove that, but it’s very long and I don’t feel like typing it out at this point, so trust me.)

Again: great OP; I’m still grinning.

Dolly Parton and John Denver - and please don’t ask me why. I’ve spent years paying off my child psychologist bills

I dedicate this thread to my parents, Ayn Rand and God.

Woody Allen and … and I dunno. Scott Adams. :smiley:

BTW, hillbilly queen, from your pic it’s easy to see which one gave you your looks, and it ain’t BBT…
