Heredity? I say environment!

So I watched some of "She's All That" the other night. It was due to the same Nashville Star Nets game, plus I've got a thing for Pygmalion. That's because it was the plotline of every other Three Stooges episode. And Rachael Leigh Cook ain't too shabby either (if reading that sentence aloud be sure to pronounce the final word as "EYE-ther" for extra gravitas. "EE-ther" just doesn't work well with 'shabby'). Anyway I noticed Freddie Prinz Jr. had this weird wobbledy-legged walk. Think of any movie where Rowdy Roddy Piper had to run around a bit; it was like that but walking. It led me to wonder, "does the junior Freddy Prinz, in fact, have metal knees?" Time for some investimigating. That would surely make his stock plummet with the teenybopper chickadees. For the sake of their fragile little hearts I'd best be wrong.

Little known factoid: Aerosmith's song "Love in an elevator" was actually "Lovin' an elevator", Steven Tyler's tribute to the convenience-appliance. Due to his Lyme disease afflicted knees and his old 13 story walk-up, once he moved into a building with a good ol' Westinghouse, he penned the ode to express his gratitude ("You have my gratitude" as that fake Mr. Han from "Kentucky Fried Movie" would repeatedly say). Later, their British producer recommended they change the song when he exclaimed, "Are you blokes daft?!!". This is a complete and utter lie, though I wish it were true. This is also an example of why I lost in that boardgame 'Beyond Balderdash' all the time.

I knew it was a lie as soon as I read the part about Lyme disease. That wasn't invented until 2002...

I also heard that another song by Aerosmith was originally called "Janey's Got Some Gum". I think they were going to use it in a Wrigley's commercial.*

*I LOVE Balderdash and am actually quite good at it. This post is not testament to that fact however.
