oh bless the internet for providing the above pictures. oh wait, i forgot i was ranting against the internet wasn’t i? so your probably wondering what in gay-hell does this have to do with gil gerard and/or buck rogers.
hmmm well, lemme tell ya. on tuesday during the aforementioned marathon, i innocently thought to myself, hmmm, i wonder if gil is still hot? so i did what any self-respecting homo with a wireless connection would do. i googled him.
this is what i got:
oh gil… oh gil… wow. i so didn’t need to ruin my pre-adolescent fantasy by seeing that. now of course, mr. gerard is allowed to age just like all of us (and god knows, i’m not the perfect specimen of manliness that he once was), but this is just sad. next time, i go to that special spot in my mind where we hold our idols up to higher standards, my image of gil (by the way, i usually picture the leather vest image from above), may be replaced by – shudder – the above.
oh my.
so learn from my lessons kids, leave your childhood idols/fantasies where they belong – in your mind and heart (and perhaps groin). for the love all things good and sacred, please don’t do a google image search unless your ready to have your memories dashed, slashed and generally fucked up.
i’m gonna go back to watching my dvr’ed episodes of the hotty gil gerard and his plucky fag-hag/side-kick erin grey to try and get the taste out of my mouth of that image.
hmmm, but now that i’m thinking of 70’s sexual icons, i wonder what bj & the bear’s greg evigan looks like now. >>> step away from the google toolbar….

That can really freak a guy out. Same for the guy who played McGyver. As you wrote, memories are better left alone. Big hugs.

God I hate you. Gil ‘was’ fantasy material back in the day. Gil and the guy who played Apollo on Battlestar, and of course Parker Stevenson from the Hardy Boys (Kirstie says he’s got a huge schlong…)
Now Gil gets scratched off the list. Sweaty can be a good thing- but not whilst sitting in a chair at “Galacticon 4” in Reno…

Now don’t look if you fear the bursting of a memory bubble.

Comment by Happy Mama to Three June 10, 2006 @ 8:31 amMy friend Kasi saw Gil Gerard at GenCon a few years back. She said he was the size of a planet… well, now I know π
By the way Kyle, I intend to link to you too, but blogrolling is being evil right now. I’ll add you when it’s back up.
