Happy Birthday, Charles Addams

[filkertom]

On this date in 1912.

Which Addams Family member do you want to be? And which one do you think you are? I'd love to be Gomez, but I fear I'm Fester. (Used to be Cousin Itt.)

Yeah, I'm Fester wanting to be Gomez, too. Or Lurch, as the need may arise. Used to be Pugsley trying to come across as Wednesday.

I'm a little too close to Fester these days. I used to want to be Lurch.

I wish I were Morticia. But I fear I'm closer to Grandmama or Lurch.

I want to be Gomez, as well. Not sure who I am, though. Surely not tall enough to Lurch.

I'm probably either Thing or Pugsley.

EVERYONE wants to be Gomez/Morticia - after all their love is EPIC!

My ex used to describe my interior design sense as a cross between Martha Stewart and Wednesday Addams. Although I think he meant Morticia, since I hardly ever beheaded dolls intended for display.

I suspect I'm Thing, though there are times when a bit of Cleopatra comes through. Wish I had Lurch's voice, though :-)

My my. To share a blood red cake with bone white icing with him. What a thought.

I'm humbled to share a birthday with him.

And a very Happy Birthday to you!

Wednesday! I want to be Wednesday!

Remind me to tell you a story about the possible origins of the characters in the original cartoons ... family legends are fun ...

One time at a con, I was talking about Babylon 5 with somebody whose accent made "Bester" come out sounding like "Fester".

I got a mental image of Uncle Fester in a Psi Cop uniform....

Thank you for sharing.

"They're freaky and they're spooky,
the Psi Corps Family!

"So pull your leather gloves on
those mindquakes they will fall on,
we're gonna get a call from,
the Psi Corps Family!

"Oh SNAP!"

Now THERE's a set of mental images to conjure with...! And I can BET that several of the players on the show would LOVE to do THAT take off, too! Walter, I'm willing to bet, could do a tolerable Gomez, Talia, a pretty good Morticia... the Vorlon as Lurch...

When I'm depressed, I'm Lurch. When I'm manic, I'm Fester.

I was Morticia for a while...it was kind of overrated. Even though I'm a girl, I'm much more the Gomez type. It's fun to be doing the kissing. :)

Rule Number One of the Universe: It's always fun to be doing the kissing. ;)

NOM NOM NOM

Icon adoration. :)

[chaosdancer.livejournal.com]

Thank you! There's lots of cool ones you see on the ihasatardis community, and most people share.

[liddle-oldman.livejournal.com]

Lurch, hands-down.

One of the greatest disappointments of my life is that I don't sound like Ted Cassidy. (Or Thurl Ravenscroft, either.)

[mg4h.livejournal.com]

You've seen me. You've seen the hair.

When it's down, I *am* Cousin It ;)

I much prefer to be Morticia, although I'll NEVER fit into a dress like that. I have the attitude, however.

[cadhla.livejournal.com]

I'm Marilyn Munster.

[mstrhypno.livejournal.com]

I would be Thing, but I'm not quiet enough, even though I have the dexterity for the part.

With my luck, I'd be Pugsley.

[lizreay.livejournal.com]

I often got called Cousin It by my family as I was growing up. I tended to hide behind my hair, much to my mother's consternation. I wish I was half as hot as Morticia... though I always loved Wednesday's outlook on life. (I'm in my 30's, though, so she's kind of automatically out.)

[madrona.livejournal.com]

I'm like Becky Martin-Granger from Addams Family values attempting to be Wednesday.

[the-s-guy.livejournal.com]

Probably Fester, wanting to be Thing. Although I can do Lurch, Gomez and Wednesday on demand :)

[judifilksign.livejournal.com]

I was Wednesday for this past Halloween, but everyone thought I was Pippi Longstocking.
I wish I wish I could be as hot as Morticia!

[wildcard9.livejournal.com]

I feel like I am slowly turning into Cousin Itt. I wonder how much a full body waxing would cost? And how much it will hurt? And how long it would last (so I know if it is worth the cost and pain)?

*sigh*

I'm probably one of the briefly mentioned relatives... one of ones who's career blazed briefly and explosively, and just as quickly vanished... into the local funny farm.

[sylverwolfe.livejournal.com]

Well, I've always felt attuned to Wednesday...but people have always told me I'd grow up to look just like my mother.
I'd LOVE to be Morticia. I just need to work on it some...

We have a copy of Gray's Anatomy in amongst our cookbooks.

Wednesday Friday Addams. The original -- the gloomy little girl. But man, I'd wish to be Christina Ricci's Wednesday!
