I have to say that JL Dreyfus, in the aforementioned movie, does strange things to my hormones. Whoa! Killer Babe! Ultra! That’s about it. hh ---

I think it’s by far the best “Vacation” movie, I wish they’d have all day marathons of it instead of “The Christmas Story” . ---

Todd: Hey Griswold. Where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big? Clark: Bend over and I’ll show you. Todd: You’ve got a lot of nerve talking to me like that Griswold. Clark: I wasn’t talking to you. ---

> [@Eugene\_of\_Sandwich](#): > > I like JLD, too. Did you catch her on Letterman last night? I have always wanted to see her on a talk show, and see what she’s like, without her script. If I had known that she was on, I’d have defintely watched, but sadly, didn’t know she was on the talk show circuit. Is she promoting anything other than Old Christine? hh ---

I saw this recently too, and had completely forgotten about that late 80’s fad with the aluminum foil looking sweatsuit things. Hilarious. Also, Russ was Johnny Galecki. ---

I don’t really recall her promoting anything. She was animated and entertaining though. Told a funny story about applying for Wellesley. She had been in all girls schools in grades 3 thru 12 and didn’t really want to go to Wellesley but applied at her Father’s insistence and was “unfortunately” rejected. She did look nice in a tight, mid-knee dress with boobage and leggage. Just as she sat down Big Dave looked like he was going to pounce! Sort of an awkward nanosecond and she had the first word. You could actually see DL’s leg doing the horny dance. I’m not kidding. That guy’s got problems. 🙂
