Ok, I may have remembered the “Corinthian Leather” quote wrong– it was more than 30 years ago wasn’t it?

malisia – I wasn’t suggesting one group was older or younger, but that the early adopter tech crowd (Star Trek geeks, but not necessarily young) still dominates my Twitter, but not my Facebook.

Fantasy Island, I saw a lot of that, but not in my responses. I did mention spy kids at some point,

…and Shava– listen to the audio, where I talk about loving “Neptune’s Daughter,” in which he co-starred with Esther Williams and (I think) Red Skelton.

Nobody has mentioned his role in Spy Kids and Spy Kids II (or some number). He was in a wheelchair in real life when he did that second movie.

I saw an interview with Ricardo Montalban where he talked about Chrysler. He did the commercial for the Chrysler Cordoba, with “FINE Corinthian Leather”. He mentioned that Corinthian Leather was just something the marketing dept made up, and he told them Cordoba is supposed to be pronounced coredo-BA! with the emphasis on the last syllable, but they didn’t want him to pronounce it that way. The Cordoba was a sucky boxy looking car, supposed to be a euro-luxury coupe like the Thunderbird or Buick or something, but it was near the end-of-life for their full-size rear wheel drive cars. R-W platform.

Fantasy Island, he was so upstaged by Tattoo.

*heh*

I feel old.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNN!
