Back in the day these 2 women epitomised what most men lusted for.

The bombshell and the girl next door cute wifey type.

Even as a young fella I knew they had it going on.

If I was the Professor I woulda made sure we stayed on the island ........................... I mean Ginger and Mary Annn both at hand and no competition except for a Fat grumpy Old Sea Dawg and his Numb Nuts First Mate.

RIP Mary Anne (Dawn).

Thanks for those Coconut and Banana Cream Pies

I don't listen to much new hiphop these days but this guy was a king. Died in October but his family only released the news on New Years Day. Unbelievable flow.
