Who is your favorite Addams?
I would have to say Morticia with Gomez a close second. Then Cousin Itt.

1. As a little girl I wanted to be Mortica
(the best TV character name ever) and Cousin It cracked me up. "Thing" (the diembodied hand) was a hoot as well. I'm sure Uncle Fester will get his share of votes.

2. I always wanted to be an Addams growing up.
They just embraced life's eccentricities and weirdness, strangled the shit out of it, and made weird poisoned lemonade...lol.

10. Didn't we nominate Lurch for president about 5 years ago?
He looks familiar. I think I voted for him once. I'll take Lurch.

19. The kooky guy who started it all.
I had Charles Addams Christmas cards with this one, along with the skiing fella you have. I need to order more of those.

23. I grew up with a fifties vintage New Yorker cartoon book
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to determine Charles Addams was a genius.

Charles Addams might have liked that.

40. Jane Addams....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Addams

She was a great social reformer and pacifist. We could sure use someone like her today.

43. Anybody see"The Maddams Family"
Porn spoof/tribute. Ron Jeremy is "Uncle Pester", and Mike Horner's "Cortez" is over-the top loony, just as the carachter deserves.
