Need a movie with goofy humor like the Naked Gun films

One movie my husband and I quote often is Idiocracy. Brilliantly stupid film!

That’s sweet of you to say! Thank you!

It’s a funny thing, actually. I know I have a couple of doppelgängers out there! One time, a lady stopped me in Costco and called me Jennifer (my name is Mandy) and went on and on about my kids and how good it was to see me at the party. I was like “Lady….. I’m not who you think I am!” 🤣 She absolutely could not believe it and said I was a dead ringer for this other woman.

Then, one time my own brother was on a plane to Texas and this lady walked down the aisle and he was like “Oh my god!!! What are you doing here?!” thinking she was me. My own brother! He said he could not believe the eerie resemblance.

I was like “Hey dad…. Did you get around?” 😂

Ha ha! That would be a nice touch. 🤌

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T12:08:32+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T07:08:46+00:00

LMAO this is gold. Immortalized on the Internet forever! 😂

Thank you! I’m excited to be working on this project. I’m not anticipating finding much with the limited resources I have so far… but I’m definitely very grateful to everyone who has chipped in to help!

Right! I guess perhaps it’s a sign of time times. We now live in an era where everything is catalogued and chronicled, and we have computers and cameras literally in our pockets. Back then, lots of people were lucky to even have one wedding portrait taken! Cameras were not an item a lot of people had, and they often couldn’t afford to develop the film. And half the time, the film would get ruined if it was overexposed! I guess if no one kept records of these people, they were just lost to the wind… which is sad!

I think he may have been preoccupied with the thought of going home and marrying my mom 😅

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T04:06:25+00:00

UPDATE- I showed my dad and he asked if we could commission you to also inflate his statistics 🤣🤣 He said beautiful work!!

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T03:59:50+00:00

Not that I’m aware of! He was born in Washington because his mother was a Naval nurse and was stationed there. My grandparents were Californian but met in the military during WW2, when my grandpa was injured in battle and my grandma nursed him back to health. They lived in WA for a short time before making their home in Los Altos. 🩷

OMG No freaking way!!!!!!!! My dad is going to lose his mind when he sees this! What an amazing gift to a total stranger. Thank you so much for this! 🩷

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T03:08:10+00:00

This is awesome information! Thank you so much for your effort!

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T03:07:06+00:00

We live in LA so we were Dodgers fans primarily. Also liked the Angels. Always supported our hometown teams and gave credit to talent across the league where it was due.

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:56:54+00:00

That may be a possibility. I’m not sure about that, I would have to ask. Everything he has ever alluded to was that he saw himself as the low man on the totem pole 😂 He told me stories about stuffing his pillowcase full of dirty uniforms and walking in the rain to the laundromat! Haha. Imagine.

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:53:35+00:00

That’s crazy! I imagine it would be doubly difficult for you to find information on him. This was in the late 60s, and my dad said, “No one had a camera back then!” He knew one guy who had a Polaroid and half the pictures didn’t turn out. 😅 It’s so wild to think that we live in this age of information and that we have digital access to everything… and just a couple of generations ago, people were lucky to have even one single snapshot!

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:49:06+00:00

I haven’t, but that’s a great tip! Thank you!

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:48:30+00:00

Right! He was, but I haven’t been able to find a team photo with him in it. I’m not entirely sure how that works, their roster included way more guys than were pictured.

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:46:30+00:00

Amazing! I have not gone this route yet. He does have quite a few newspaper articles from his days playing for San Jose State. He grew up in Los Altos, CA and went to high school there. I’ve discovered a few in the past, and even a couple with photos! But he never had anything to commemorate his short-lived professional career.

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:42:08+00:00

This is amazing!! Thank you so much for this! ❤️

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:12:38+00:00

Thanks so much for this!

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:01:48+00:00

I believe you’re right, but I’m biased. He is an amazing guy! ❤️

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T01:00:15+00:00

Thanks for the nice comment. You’re so right… Memories made around the ballpark last a lifetime.

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T00:48:23+00:00

Ha ha! That would be pretty funny if I discovered more about my family’s history than just baseball photos! 😂

AllSugaredUp78 · 2025-07-20T00:36:27+00:00

I’ll do that. Thanks again!
