From the comments: "This is what I imagine it would be like walking in on your parents having sex. Disturbing for all the wrong reasons."

Wrong video. (blessedly. it seems.)

Curious George said...

Hard to imagine Travolta doing something crazier than becoming a Scientologist, but there you go.

Ann Althouse said...

@David It's not the wrong video.

Was the crop-top guy packing an extra pair of gym socks in his shorts, or just glad to be dancing in close proximity to John Travolta?

JCCamp said...

The comments from the linked post were quite funny. And this video was even funnier. The Rite of Spring Workout....

Jamie Lee Curtis has a very flat stomach. I am envious.

Returned from Berkshires-fab, natch.

Gweny and Apple summer here.

Anyways, that is not what I want to talk about.

I want to talk about how rich my husband is.

He doesn't talk about it ever because he knows I want his money. He pays for everything and is younger and hotter than me.

Anyways, we were talking about the whole caste thing and he is fucking rich.

He grandfather was a freedom fighter under Nehru-and then was an ambassador when Nehru became prime minister. The grandfather had a huge home in New Dehli in order to entertain, but the granny was spiritual, and had a seperate home and just basically meditated. The grandfather was one of the first people in India to start a tech company.

My grandfather's were po farmers in Lodi, WI....sigh.

My hubby went to Trinity College in Cambridge-UK.

I told him I want 10 million dollars after he told me about grandpa.

My hubby calls his father Papa.

thanks

Titus said...

He told me there were peacocks and deer and huge sculptures and gardens and all kinds of fountains and orchards at his grandpa's estate.

I said, who has it now (because $) and he wouldn't tell me.

His mother was an only child and died hiking the Himilayan Mountains, and he is also an only child.

My hubby travels to New Dehli a few times a year and says he stays at grandpa's house.

He never took me there when I was in India!!!!

I want that fucking estate!

Hah! That brings back memories! I remember seeing that in the local theater with my high school sweetheart. Summer of '85. The sweetheart was a *huge* Travolta fan, and she insisted that I take her to see it. I relented, dreading it, and then I realized the movie featured the 1985 versions of Marilu Henner and JLC in leotards. I think we ended up seeing the movie twice.

Apparently yoga pants aren't destroying western civilization. Yoga pants are positively puritanical compared to some of the crotch coverage in that video.

Marilu remembers too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zTkBgHNsWM

I didn't remember Ms. Curtis being so starved-bird-skinny.

Dawg girl, get you some rice and beans.

And Travolta is just ridiculous.

FullMoon said...

Is Titus one of Betamax' characters?

I am serious, and no offense intended to Titus if he is real.

alan markus said...

Titus is not Betamax. Betamax is always funny.

CatherineM said...

Alan Markus- I thought the same thing about crop top guy, thinking he had a boner.

That video is embarrassing.

"This is what I imagine it would be like walking in on your parents having sex. Disturbing for all the wrong reasons."

My father was Andy Kaufman, my mother was a double-amputee, and the bedroom was decorated with a circus motif: you have no idea.

I am Lalso.

When yoga became popular, all these women had to update their exercise apparel.

I was at a Halloween party in the Eighties dressed as a dolphin and John Travolta wanted to have sex with me: I don't know if this was because I was a guy or because I was dressed as a dolphin. I nicely said 'no' and he was cool about it, he gave me a paperback copy of "Dianetics."

I am Laslo.

Laslo Spatula said...

Later at the party Travolta got drunk, and he kept asking if he could put a finger in my blowhole.

It was embarrassing: he kept saying how he had put a finger in a dolphin's blowhole before, that I didn't know how good it feels, that when he put a finger in a dolphin's blowhole for the first time he was always "extra-gentle".

There are only so many ways of saying "Dude, stop touching my blowhole."

I am Laslo.

A friend of his came over to me later and apologized.

He said that when Travolta got drunk everything became about the blowhole.

Then he offered me money if I would just go ahead and have sex with John Travolta and let him touch my blowhole, just this one time. I guess you don't get to the Top in Hollywood without being persistent.

I am Laslo.

Laslo Spatula said...

Travolta kept saying that putting a finger in a man's blowhole was no big deal in Hollywood, Celebrities in the Eighties did it all the time. To this day I still can no longer watch a Steve Gutenberg movie.

I am Laslo.

Laslo Spatula said...

He just couldn't take 'No' for an answer. He offered to wear a dolphin costume, too, if that would make it more comfortable for me: we'd just be two guys wearing dolphin costumes and touching each other's blowholes.

I kept saying 'No' but then he got really angry: he said I was no f**kin' dolphin, I was just a "lowly tuna boy."

Then it was:

"Oh, little baby Tuna Boy, Chicken of the Sea"

followed by:

"Do you know how easy it is for me to get my Tuna Salad 'tossed' in This Town, Tuna Boy?"

and then he started crying, saying he would make it up to me, and did I want him to sign my new "Dianetics" paperback?

I don't know how much of this I can blame on Scientology.

I am Laslo.

Actually, some of these comments are more disturbing than the original video, which puts the "deleted" comments into...context.

JAORE said...

I must be getting old. I have a vague recollection of finding JLC sexy in that movie. Now it's just sad.

That's no so much WORKING off the pounds as bringing them up before you've had a chance to get sustenance from them ...
