Fiery Jack Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Moi? [color:brown]Boss Cat[/color], :smirk: out of the Top Cat cartoons. Or Spook, the beatnik cat, or Fancy-Fancy that liked to gamble and chat up birds. :hubba: I was torn between the three of them, pretended to be them, one at a time. In a barn. Alone. Using Monopoly money and wearing a white wooly scarf like Fancy-Fancy's. It was before I discovered masturbation, like. [color:purple]'...Close friends get to call him T. C., Providing it's with dignity!'[/color] After that (or was it before?), open season on heroes chez your uncle Jacques Enflammé; I was a fickle follower. So many. Welcomed like kith and kin, discarded like hookers and my spirit moved on: King Alfred the Great, Ivanhoe, Peter Marinello, Count Dracula, (inexplicably) albino soccer player Alan Whittle, Alf Tupper from the Tupper of the Track comic stories, Joe 'Splash' Gorton the stoned hippie swimmer in Tiger and Jag comic, Dr. Fu Manchu, William Brown (out of Richmal Crompton's books), Billy Dane off the Billy's Boots stories in Tiger too, Catweazle, Bruce Lee then quickly Kwai Chang Caine, Marc Bolan... All before my 8th or 9th birthday, so far as I can recall. What about you lot then? jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skirtlifter Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Kimba, Gigantor and Jerry La Frond ("The King's Outlaw") Dr Who was a goodie by the cybermen were way too scary. The "Magic Boomerang" kept me wrapped each episode but there were no real heroes worth mentioning in this serial. Anyone remember any of these?

USVirgin Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I know you weren't asking me but...Mrs. Howell. As far as I remember (which you know isn't very far) my first heroes were baseball players, Dodgers, like Sandy Koufax. I had to be different, so I decided that first baseman Wes Parker was my favorite Dodger. My brother and cousin liked the second baseman, Jimmy Lefebvre. Any time I mentioned Wes Parker's name, they'd tell me he's a fag and kick me in the nuts. After years of counseling, I learned it was they who had the homo problem.

skirtlifter Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Comedy-wise there was Basil fox. Kenny Everett, Benny Hill. Norman Wisdom (unsure of spelling) was a classic. Reg Varney anyone? All the "carry -on" crew. Ah....the memories are flooding back. More recently the "Vicar of Dibbly" and "Yes Prime/minister" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
