Did He Man and She Ra ever get together?

Weren't they related? Sick

Yeah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Ra Sick, zooo. Sick.

Isnt He Man an incredibly f**king stupid name for a person?

He

Man

think about it

Some dudes were writing a cartoon series and they had to decide on a name for the main character

Some bonehead pipes up with "He Man"

And his associates DONT tell him he's a total cretin?

Imagine if Lassie had been called It Dog

Ridiculous

I agree. But there were many many Nicholas Cage films were his characters had strange names too: Stanley Goodspeed (The Rock), Cameron Poe (Con Air), Castor Troy (Face/Off)...I mean, did the screenwriters try to make him look ridiculous?

That has never occurred to me before! Sounds like 4:59pm kind of decision to me.

It was a pre-existing expression. Much in the same vein as Macho Man. So... no... in reply to your original question.

Bonehead

A lawyer will tell you never to ask a question in court you don't know the answer to Lofthouse. But you keep at it. Comedy comes from a lot of things.

Ava Vidal on a Dave repeat of Mock The Week. Helping me get to sleep, and not in a bad way.

I know it sounds a bit like a 'by committee' decision, but actually the original concept was written by a very well-respected and prolific TV writer. I'm not proud of this, but I've read some of the original He-Man TV-bible from back in the day. You can too...

Ooh, I so loved Linda Kozlowski in Crocodile Dundee. Especially in that particular scene.

I don't care what they say, the 80s had their great moments!

As a newspaper columnist (female) once said about thongs - 'dental floss for the bum'.

But, beauty knows no pain.

Ew. That picture makes it look like she's being cut in half! I think it's that the sides are above her hips.
