Friends and neighbors, there comes a time when a man has to take a stand for something, a cause for which all must be sacrificed and nothing short of absolute victory accepted. I'm not talking about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which is understood to mean the private ownership of property, but the victory of Erin Gray's Colonel Wilma Deering over Pamela Hensley's Princess Ardala.
These two actresses, and their characters, hailed from the late 1970s/early 1980s NBC camp sci-fi program, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Both had the regrettable duty of playing love interests to the dimwitted Gil Gerard, who hammed his way through the title role. I'd post pictures, but something's afuzz with my FTP access, and I can't do that right now.
Anyways. Wilma's a babe in Lycra, and she's one leg of the Holy Trinity of 1970ish Sci-Fi Television. Just punch that name into Google, and see what you get. She's far better looking than the evil Princess Ardala, and could use your support. Head on over to TexasBestGrok, and look on the left, where you can cast a vote, once per day, for this beautiful gal. See here for the post on the poll. Yours truly has already signalled his support for Wilma.
Enthusiastic waving of the Wisconsin hat to The Llama Butchers, where a campaign for Wilma's victory began and continues. To steal from a bumper sticker I see regularly, vote "W" in '04, whether it be W. the President or Wilma the Colonel.
A prior positive reference to Colonel Deering appeared here.
