A question for girls who played with the 'Mystery Date' board game.

[devilgrrl]

Q: Is it me or was the "Dud" the hottest out of the bunch.

The reason I ask is because I always thought he was the cutest. Naturally I had to keep my feelings to myself, what would those who wanted the guy with the dinner jacket and corsage think? :blush:

[JVS]

1. The dud looks like you, Milhouse!

[blue neen]

2. Geez, I had forgotten all about that game.

But now that you mention it, the I remember thinking that there was nothing wrong with the "Dud". His hair was messed up a little bit and shirttail was hanging out. :shrug:

3. You're weird

like me.:-)

I always thought the "Dud" was the hottest one too. I told my older sister that and she told me I was weird.

[devilgrrl]

6. Tee hee hee...

it's fun being weird. :-)

[devilgrrl]

4. Well these guys agree with me...

5. I was thought the Dud

if he had worn a peace t-shirt would have won over anyone--he needed a shave was all.

Mr. Handsome in the Tux reminds me too much of the Animal House, Greg Marmalard. Who would want that guy, Mr. Greedy..

[DawgHouse]

7. Yes, I always wanted the dud.

He was dressed like a painter on my board game. But he was definitely the cutest. In fact, the door on my board was a little bent and if I turned the knob just right, I was always sure to get him. :)

I also preferred GI Joe over Ken, btw.

8. Here he is!

He was just ahead of his time.

[devilgrrl]

9. That's not the one we had...

we're talking the 60's-early 70's.

That one is so 80's.

[wovenpaint]

10. ooooh-maybe he isn't ahead of his time, then....................

:shrug:

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

12. Yep. Wrong Dud.

The early edition guy was much more dangerous/worldly looking and scruffy.

[Deja Q]

11. Do you have any pics of the dud?

I only found this:

[benny05]

14. He is smack in the middle n/t

[devilgrrl]

32. That's the dud! He's in the middle.

Too bad there isn't a close-up.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. This was the version of the game I had... And I thought the dud

was the cutest too...! in his plaid jacket...sigh...

[benny05]

15. Funny

But the dud had no jacket..

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. My dud had a plaid jacket...

Sorry to disappoint you. The cool thing was is that it was mother's game before me. She still has it. :hi:

[benny05]

17. But look at the men here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5804348&mesg_id=5804971

The Dud advertised on the commercials is in the middle--when I was growing up 1965-1970.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. My mother's would be the first edition (I think...1965) and the only

guy who is the (relatively) same in that picture you have is the beach date. :shrug: The other's are all different. The skier looks like Tab Hunter and is in a red sweater.

[Gormy Cuss]

22. I think that is the 1965 edition, with the plaid jacket dud

Until the geeky pocket protector one they were all the studliest 'duds' in the bunch.

[benny05]

23. The dud is this

The guy with the t-shirt and wrinkled pants...exactly in the middle.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Nope, that's not my dud...only the beach guy is the same.

:hi:

[benny05]

25. I'm going by the ads as I saw as a kid, Mrs G

How are you, Mrs. G? You were in good spirits when we spoke last.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I'm doing really great! Thanks! How about you?

Did some canvassing today for a local Dem and the feedback we got was wonderful! :hi:

[benny05]

27. I'm phone bankin' Monday Night

My first time...have you or others at DU you know of have phone banked for GOTV? Need advice..:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. I did in 2004 for Dean, and then Kerry...

I took a lot of getting up of courage. I reminded myself it was just a phone call, was very pleasant, and just reminded people to vote. I also worked the polls (counting voters) for MoveOn.. That was a bit rougher because a lot of repukes wanted to get us kicked out. :hug: Good luck! It's fun and you get to meet other dems!

[benny05]

29. I'm doin' it for my congressional candidate, David Gill

He is such a fine person. A real doctor who understands our health care system is broken.

I plan to try to get the script tomorrow night and practice a bit, but it helps to know his stance very well.

:hi: :kick:

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. I think you'll do GREAT... It really helps when you truly believe in the

candidate and what they are trying to do.

[benny05]

31. Thanks, I hope so

:hi: :hug:

I believe in this man to bring back our country, if I can help.

[devilgrrl]

20. The version we had the dud looked like a auto mechanic or...

painting contractor.

He was cute! :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. A girlfriend of mine had a dud (ca. 1975ish?) that was the glasses

and pocket protector type. :rofl:

[Kat45]

19. The dud we had was named Poindexter, and he had red hair

and glasses. (We're talking the sixties here.) We all thought was a total geek, not at all good looking.
