Hello. My name is Alisa and I like Charo

I keep seeing Charo lately and maybe I'm delusional from the heat (& humidity) but she's kind of amusing. She had the best line on VH1's I Love the 70's. They were talking about the song, "Dream the Impossible Dream" from The Man of La Mancha. Charo threw in her 2 cents, "I have a dream that's impossible. To talk normal." I just thought that was soooo cute! There are celebs who try to come off like they don't take themselves seriously but end up looking like idiots, I'm talking to you Hasslehoff. But Charo knows no one understands her and she has fun with it. Granted, I could do without the cuchi-cuchis, but overall I think she's a fun old lady.

Here's something for you to ponder. How does a man with no arms and one leg drive a car? I will find out the answer tonight when my grandmother calls my uncle to get details. At first I assumed the dude had absolutely no arms but I later found out there are upper arms and nothing from the elbow down. I'm guessing the steering wheel has something attached to it that he can slip his stubs into. And you really only need the one leg for the gas and break. But my question is how does he make hard turns? The funny part of this was that my aunt said something along the lines of him not really being that good of a driver. You would think that someone with a disability and a drivers license would really try to master it. Apparently not.

Don't hassle the hoff, Alisa! Never hassle the hoff :)

That is perplexing about the man without limbs driving. Even though you could do it, I'm not sure you should, you know? I have all four limbs and I often feel like I could use a couple more arms when I'm driving.

Why, why is he missing so many limbs?
