Now this is news...why worry about Climate Change or Supreme Court justices unreporting funds or throttling co-Justices when you can report the scoop on the Brady Family?
+++++++++++++++++++++++

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – This would have made an interesting episode of "The Brady Bunch."

Florence Henderson, the actress who played perky mom Carol Brady in the beloved family sitcom, says she once got crabs after a one-night-stand with career politician John Lindsay, who was the mayor of New York City at the time.

Henderson, now 77, recounts in her upcoming memoir that she was cheating on her husband during the 1960s, and gave in to her better judgment when her married and unattractive friend put the moves on her over drinks at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

"I was lonely. I knew it wasn't the right thing to do. So, what did I do? I did it," she writes in "Life is Not a Stage," set for publication in September.

1. She could easily have held out for lobster or caviar.

Crabs? Nah. Not worth it.

She was quite a star in her day. She deserved better.

[Spirochete]

26. Ah, but the crabs have a certain

Wessonality...

[jberryhill]

2. Well another story from the "things we didn't need to know" department

Florence Henderson is a lovely lady, though. Lucky for Lindsay.

[Raschel]

25. Why, why, why, does she have to tell us this?

[mainer]

3. Yeah, I remember Lindsay as being really hot

He was in no way unattractive.

[Orrex]

9. But a lousy lover, apparently.

[Webster Green]

20. Lol!

Well played! :rofl:

[DianaForRussFeingold]

4. Yuck! I didn't want to know that!

The Brady Bunch will never be the same...:puke:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

7. Yeah, there was that one episode where she was constantly fidgeting and squirming,

now it all makes sense.... heh!!

[DianaForRussFeingold]

14. LOL, Oh yeah, the itching powder episode

:spray: Is nothing sacred anymore??? :rofl:

[XanaDUer]

5. Lindsay was very good-looking

and was a now-extinct breed, a liberal Republican.

[HockeyMom]

10. Plus he has been dead for a long time

So who cares and what is the point now?

[XanaDUer]

27. Yeah, it is kind of a pointless thing to talk about now

I mean, I like Flo Henderson, but these kiss-and-tell memoirs are sort of sordid. For all she knows, maybe she got crabs from her husband. It's easy to slag folks off when they're dead and not around to defend themselves.

[Cleita]

29. Or the bathroom at the hotel.

I used to work at that hotel in the candy store when I was a teenager and parts of it weren't all that well maintained and actually downright seedy in places. The only reason it was popular with the celebrities and VIPs is because they maintained a policy of discreetness and security that the rich and famous want.

[XanaDUer]

32. Ew, I didn't know you could get crabs that way

Today the big worry is bedbugs.

Another weird kiss-and-tell was Esther Williams' autobio about how one of her lovers liked to cross dress (Jeff Chandler?).

I mean, Jeez. :eyes:

[Cleita]

34. Yes, you can.

Back in my free spirited youth, there was a dive that my all girls dart team used to have to play in once every season, and we used to sing a little song under our breath that went something like, "No use standing on the seat. The crabs in here can jump six feet." :rofl:

[Raine]

37. LOL ... what we sang was that "the crabs in here can

jump 60 feet" :rofl: either way :rofl:

[jberryhill]

40. Wait... She had sex with him when he was still alive, right?

[OneGrassRoot]

6. Reminds me of a childish chuckle my SO and I had last night....

He was watching some nature show. I didn't have my glasses on but saw little creatures on the screen and I asked what the show was about. He said, "It's about Djibouti."

I got closer to the screen and saw they were crabs.

Me: "Those crabs are called Djibouti crabs?"

Him: "No, they're crabs in Djibouti."


Crabs in Djibouti....:rofl:....it took him a few minutes to get the silliness of what he said. I catch onto silliness very fast!

:rofl:

[WinkyDink]

8. Nobody wants to know from an old GEEZER BROAD, Flo!!

And I ain't no Spring chicken myself!

[CTyankee]

12. Whatever possessed her to reveal this?

(and why am I reading it...)

[Darth_Kitten]

24. That's what I'm thinking....

Don't people have any self-respect?

[Codeine]

11. "Here's the story of a lovely lady,

who is squirming with a raging case of crotch crickets."

[Motown_Johnny]

15. all of them in hair of gold, like they wanted, the short ones with curls..

[Botany]

18. the lyrics write themselves

Here is a story about a horny mayor who gave Florence crabs in a bunch

[rooboy]

13. Time to put your bookmark in, Mr Brady n/t

[The Eagle 718]

16. Oh Mrs. Brady! nt

[elleng]

17. Certainly NOT UNattractive!

But really, who needs to see this? Now? Memoir notwithstanding, please folks, some discretion???
(Not complaining about OP, but about what went into the memoir.)

[frazzled]

21. Google image proof

He was mayor back when I lived in New York--and according to the standards of the time, he was a real hottie:

[elleng]

22. Ditto, I was there too, and friend, or friend's family member, worked for him.

[Raine]

39. I'm think he was way hotter than she

ever was. :evilgrin:

[Poll_Blind]

19. I'm STILL waiting in your line, lady!

PB

[marmar]

23. Now that info would have spiced up her TV image !!!!!

The Brady actors were knockin' boots all over the place. Didn't Greg and Marsha rock the bunk bed too?

[Missy Vixen]

28. I'm still trying to recover from watching Mrs. Brady touch herself on Dancing with the Stars

Some things should remain a secret, hm?

:woohoo:

[PCIntern]

33. Please elaborate...

Enquiring minds want to know!

[Missy Vixen]

41. She was dancing with a pro dancer I find repugnant

She was trying to sex it up, so she dragged one finger down the middle of her chest. It was the scariest thing I've seen since Bristol Palin tried to dance. I'm still having nightmares. After all, Mrs. Brady was the ultimate authority figure of my childhood. She did NOT have sex! Those kids were immaculately conceived! Or something.

:woohoo:

[Prometheus Bound]

30. Either Reuters or Mrs Henderson needs a proofreader.

She gave in to temptation, NOT her better judgement.

And as others have said, 'attractive', not 'unattractive'.

[dembotoz]

31. usually try to avoid kiss and tell--this however was interesting

[ImNotTed]

35. Praise Jesus, for He hath delivered unto us the next Anthony Weiner!

This will be Thread One of 8,687!

[Raine]

36. Keep it to yourself, what is with people who have to

put all their dirty laundry out for strangers to read. :puke:

[LLStarks]

38. Another NY sex scandal... Wonderful. nt
