Who is hiding behind that user name?

The Katzenjammer kids is two german boys that lives to take the mickey out of their teacher. It was a comic strip that used to run in the Sunday Times news paper. Needles to say, they influenced my classroom experience quite a lot. (Ha-ha)

another chappie that influenced my childhood dreams was li'l ol' Richie Rich.

I don't remember them from their first run but I do remember them! Along with Felix the cat and Heckle and Jeckle! I still love those two magpies!

@Cheryl, This is still a great Idea of yours, I was away for a few days, and I took the conversation up where I left Off. This makes me feel comfortable.
I like being comfortable.
I like Lucky Luke, Asterix and Obelix, and maybe somebody will remember...The Katzenjammer Kids.

@Philippe And here I thought you were going to say Christopher Lambert

I'm a young pup, my favorite Tarzan was Ron Ely :)

You've got a nice list of loves there Rieke!

I love being surrounded by happy people
I love the roaring 20ies of the past century
I love the story of my passed relations
I love reading and writing which I do best in my mother language :)
I love living in Italy
I love traveling - there are still some places I have to go to
I love communication with other people
And I am always curious to learn new things
I love Dixieland music and Jam Sessions (rare in Italy :( )
I love life as it is - like a rainbow

Good to see you stop by Gwen! I love animals too! The big cats are so beautiful.

@Mehgan LOL! My nephew accuses me of having a headful of useless trivia too. We used to always watch Jeopardy and we would keep score on who got the most answers right. I'd stomp him every time!

I liked Johnny Weissmueller as Tarzan too!

Andy I agree with you, there's a lot more to Chris' death than has been revealed namely the out of character text messages he sent and Chris was an awesome wrestler just like Eddie Guerrero. But my all time favorite wrestler, is The Fabulous Moolah. She still holds the title of the longest reign of any champion in any sport-27 years. She was also quite the character, just watching her an Mae Young together and you knew they were having fun with it even into their 80's.

OOPS. I should not have said that.

@ Sean. Please. Shhhh!!! not so loud, people wil now know we are ancient. :)

I agree none finer than the weissmuler tarzan Abraham

Oh yea, I forgot, All the old Tarzan movies. The old BW ones, with Johnny Weismuller. They were great.

@cheryl My favorite wrestlers all time are Arn Anderson and Chris Benoit, not for gold or level of fame but because they were hard working technical wrestlers, the underdogs who always seemed to win. I still don't believe the official line on Chris' death, too many things like the post on a WWE Forum about an hour after his death about him having died from a so called trouble maker who couldn't believe he was right who happened to live near WWE HQ. The investigation from day one was roid rage an

@ Philippe. Yes we are, and so are Pollatjie.

Like to go fishing at the nearest dam or river (I live in the middle of South Africa).

Sci-Fi movies and novels.

Music: Opera (All), BZN, Tol & Tol.

I would absolutely love it if I could get some more time in a day.

There you have it. Not much, but that's me.

My favorite junk foods are french fries and Calzones.
Chocolate isn't a junk food for me, it's a necessity.
I play the Alto Sax (I once played in an event at Carnegie Hall).
I'm the Queen of Useless Trivia.
I love all forms of storytelling (movies, books,video games, etc.) and I hope to be a paid storyteller in the future (young-adult books).
