Jeff Clark: That Romantic Wordsmith!
« on: July 09, 2002, 03:43:05 AM »
Dear Fellow Dark Shadows Fans,

I just loved Jeff's heartfelt words of love when he handed an obviously overjoyed Vicky, the engagement ring:  "It (the ring) is old-fashioned.  It reminded me of you."  Oh yeah, that's an example of what we call a "left handed compliment."  It's like saying to a short person: "You may be built close to the ground, but, always remember, good things come in small packages."  

I'm surprised that Jeff didn't tell "old-fashioned" Vicky, that she reminded him of, say, Moms Mabley or Grandma Moses!

Sincerely,

Bob the Bartender, former etiquette advisor to Patrick Buchanan and Ozzy Osbourne.

I had to rewind the tape to make sure I heard "September" and "24" as Vicki's favorite month and date.  That's my daughter's birthday and she will be 20 this year!  This is my third run through of DS and, for the life of me, I've NEVERheard that date before.

More gets revealed the more you watch.
