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?

[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.

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....................

[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.

[benny05]

17. But look at the men here

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. 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.

[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!

[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..

[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. 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.

[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

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!

[ScreamingMeemie]

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

and pocket protector type.

[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.
