I love Maxine. I love the sunglasses. I love the bunny slippers. And I really love her “I’m not taking any shit from the likes of you” attitude. Maxine is no cuddly septuagenarian. I’m sure she’s been a hell raiser since she’s been old enough to walk and talk. She may have grown up in an era when young girls were expected to be demure and lady like, but I’ll bet that Maxine could probably throw a baseball (or shoot a spitball) as well as any boy. Speaking of boys, she’s probably decked a few in her day. There’s not a doubt in my mind that if you look at enough old film footage, you’ll see Maxine dancing naked at Woodstock. TV’s Dr. Gregory House and Uncle Duke of “Doonesbury” fame are undoubtedly her descendants.
But what I love most about Maxine is how she reminds me of my aunt, a septuagenarian herself, who is a damn spunky old broad in her own right. The only difference is my aunt doesn’t wear sunglasses in the house.
And I don’t think she ever got naked at Woodstock.

i love maxine she is sooooooooooooooooooo funny is there any of maxine to e-mail i just love her slippers, and all the things she says
Classic! A page devoted to Maxine .. love it! You’d love my mother’s kitchen: nothing BUT Maxine .. everywhere. And the walls are painted *ahem* I painted, the same color blue as Maxine’s hair.
Maxine deserves no less! Thanks for stopping by!
Hilarious! I was hoping for a mood elevator as my stress level is out of control in that I’m resisting the urge to choke the life out of a certain feckless 21 yr old that I have recently been charged with turning into something resembling a useful member of society. So thank you - thank you ! for giving me a truly hardy laugh, I will refer to Maxine’s quote’s frequently

This was great… Thank You for the laugh… I might actually use some of her lines
feel free! I do all the time.
Living on Cape Cod I like the tourist season one.
I’ve always loved Maxine. Sometimes I think she is my alter ego. But most times, I know she is my usual ego and I just have a sweeter facade.
Really? Then you’re my kinda gal!
