Not all of us have a mistress. Some of us play golf. You have to buy special shoes for that though. Also for the mistress, for certain values of mistress. If you have to ask, you can’t afford one.

Joe I guess as Blair was not even attractive. But not big on any of them.

Who? What show?

Really? Never heard that being a debate and who would pick Jane Curtain?

Was there one for Buffy? Like Faith, Buffy, Cordelia or Willow as an example?

Jennifer was the girl next door if you have outstanding taste in picking neighbors.

This might just be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Kelly Greer and Jan Smithers don’t look even remotely similar. I agree with this guys wife…he’s crazy.

Welcome to the Straight Dope.

This thread is 9 years old and some of the posters have moved on.  
For conversations with other posters, more recent threads will probably work better.  
Enjoy the Board.

Not as far as I know - but strangely enough this actress and I share the same name. Hers is spelled incorrectly as “Kelly” & that is the masculine spelling. Kelli or Kellie are the correct feminine spellings.

I’ve only come across three other people in the U.S. who are also called Kelly Greer.

I just happened to be watching my complete DVD set of “WKRP In Cincinnati” yesterday (which I had watched three other times previously without noticing) when I saw her name was (incorrectly) listed on the credits as “Kelly Greer”. And I had never noticed that before yesterday.

I would have added photos of both of these women but as a new member I’m apparently not allowed to do so. Fact is they look NOTHING like one another.

Interesting, try it now. I think the software will now allow it.

I’ve been here 20 years and it won’t let me post images.

You can’t upload images directly the SDMB. You can link to images on another image hosting site. If you put the link by itself on its own line (and if the url is the correct format for Discourse to parse as an image), Discourse will create a “one-box” with the image.

Thus:

[https://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dungeonmaster](https://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dungeonmaster) .jpg  
_(link broken for purposes of illustration)_

becomes:

[![](https://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dungeonmaster.jpg) ](https://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dungeonmaster.jpg)

Just so you know: the person who wrote that hasn’t been around in just over six years.

I’ve tried that; it still doesn’t work. Discourse won’t even let me quote someone else’s image and reply to it.

What kind of message are you getting?  
what browser are you using?  
There are no Discourse settings I’m aware of that would prevent your posting images.

I might try to spin this conversation off to an ATMB thread though.
