Ooh! That sounds like fun. I'll be watching...

i was seen on the david letterman show that way

I shook hands with Hubert Humphrey when he was running for President in 1968, before the cameras, too. I was not shown on the evening news that day, something of which i have always been proud.

You were on the floor ??

I was once interviewed on St. Paddy's day by a local station, made a dumb joke and it went country wide...

DadPad, I couldn't see the video, not being in Australia.

but may your fame live long and well..

I was once photo'd in the Evanston Review wearing my plaid coat with faux fur and a warm hat staring at a man demonstrating how to carve wooded clogs at Wieboldt's Department Store.
I remember being very embarrassed.

I saw dadpad!

Brief 3 seconds!

I was wondering why they showed you immediately after that kid's dress, perhaps dingo-proof? Did you make it?

Long live his fame
Long live his glory
And long may his story be told

As a young teen, (and indulgent sister), I took my kid brother to a trade exhibition (read new inventions) at the Sydney Town Hall. CCTV had just been developed and screens were set up all around the venue. People were clustered around the site of the camera, and of course, we had to join them. As we stood in the crowd, a woman's shrill voice could be heard saying loudly 'My God! Have you ever seen anything as horrible as that kid? It must be diseased!' Looking up at the giant screen I saw a close up of myself - redhead with a face covered in freckles - picked up by the camera as white with black spots all over it. The woman was standing next to me.

The humiliation was terrible. I refuse to pose for photos, apart from legal necessities (passport, driving licence, etc).

Freckles aren't bad. Some of my brothers had lots of them. The oldest one had them all over his face, like a pox of some sort. But, he did not look bad at all.

I used to have a ton, mind you I don't see the sun much so they fade. I like freckles, except when I wear make-up. I'm never sure what colour I should use for a base/foundation. So, I don't wear that much either.

Andy Warhol said we'll all get 15 minutes of fame. You still have 14 minutes and 57 seconds to go, dadpad!

Really ? ? ?

You look so Chinese to me . . .

What an horrendous thing to say! Freckles are sweet - I'm sure you were an adorable child and got your revenge by growing up into a beautiful women.

I saw you dadpad. Well I missed you first time because I didn't know who I was watching for... but I had to leave half way through so I'd recorded it anyway and could go back and find you.

And a wee bit orange too eh!

I love, love freckles..
