More on our boys' diet ...
This is the only part of the Laramie Saga that I consider to be purest fantasy: the boys can eat like this and still be skinny. Not in my world! :laugh:
louisev:
not only this but they are trying to PUT ON WEIGHT and not being successful.
Now, can you draw a connection between the hijinks in the bedroom and their painfully thin 32 inch waists?

Hmmm, I believe we've had the conversation that with these two, skinny is very very sexy.

OMG!! Merle Johnson is Troy Donahue?
If you only knew how many times I wrang it out over him after watching his early movies!
He is in one of my favorites. "Parrish". A movie about the Connecticut Tobacco industy filmed in 1960. Starring him with Claudet Colbert, Karl Malden, Connie Stevens and Dean Jagger. It was filmed in my home town and surrounding Connecticut landmarks. My Mom was there with my older brother to watch them film some of the scenes. I was not yet born yet....sigh... Troys character was alot like Ennis. Blonde, handsome, brooding and full of passionate anger!
It pops up on the late movie or American Movie Classics sometimes. The film was rereleased on VHS a few years back. I don't think it is on DVD yet.

Yup. And he really did go to my high school, but quite a few years before me. He went for two years but then switched out to go to a military academy and graduated from that.
They had the old yearbooks in the library and there are pictures of him on the track team.
Troy/Merle died a few years ago he but in the last years of his life, he was doing the dinner theater circuit. A HS friend of mine (Alan) saw him in a show and actually went backstage afterwards, with his HS yearbook, and got Troy/Merle to sign it! Troy/Merle was actually so flattered he took my friend Alan out for a drink. Very, very small world, huh?
And Alan said he was still really good looking....
