Confess: your weird crushes.

[SarahB]

I had a crush on my Science teacher when I was 16 who was a double for Rick Astley.



But let's not get into my scientist fetish today.

[Bunny]

1. My weird crushes involve heavy-set balding men.

James Gandolfini, Dennis Franz, and yes, even Roger Ebert (about 20 years ago - completely inexplicable to me, then and now)!

[latebloomer]

2. James Gandolfini for me as well!

Balding and pot-bellied, yes!

Maybe it's that Alpha male thing.

[Patiod]

23. One of my girlfriends had a kissy-fling with him in college

they were both at some sort of drama competition for college students.

He was a lot thinner and better looking back then (he's only about 40-42 now).

[imenja]

81. he's sexy

bald, fat, whatever. He's just sexy.

[movie_girl99]

14. i share your fondness for balding guys with a belly

it must be because of my husband. ever since we met i found that i seem to notice men like him. James Gandolfini and Michale Chiklis are my biggest crushes.

[jeanarrett]

57. Eeeeeewwwww!!! That description could include

Dick Cheney!

[Jamastiene]

3. math teacher

She's straight, married AND homophobic as hell. She is definitely not the type I would normally even want to be around, but damn she's purdy.

[Squeech]

4. Somerville (MA) alderman Denise Provost

http://www.provost-citywide.org/

I think she's adorable, and I like her politics too. I'm not in her district, but she can represent me any time.

[underpants]

5. as discussed before Squeaky Fromme

and I have NO idea why

[TlalocW]

6. Fran Drescher

I LIKE her voice as well as her looks.

TlalocW

[tjwmason]

7. Sheph Smith

Of Faux News.

He can't even read off a tele-prompter, but he sets my little heart aflutter.

Also Anne Widdecombe, mad right-wing Tory M.P. (and a woman to boot).

[last_texas_dem]

61. Like Rudi Bahktiar

Very pretty former CNN Headline News anchor; however, my attraction faded a bit when I heard she was in negotiations with the Faux News Channel :puke:

[Demit]

8. when I was a preteen in the 60s, I had a crush on the actor

Jimmy Stewart. Now tell me THAT isn't weird.

[Bunny]

9. That is not weird at all.

I have always loved Jimmy Stewart, even got to shake his hand once! He was a good looking man after he matured into his 40's and 50's.

[Jamastiene]

10. J-J-Ji-Jimmy Stewart

is cool though. Not weird. He was cool.

[eoberhauser]

76. Umm

I STILL have a crush on Jimmy Stewart. In The Philadelphia Story when he's carrying Katherine Hepburn back from the pool, I just gush all over the place.

Erin

[jus_the_facts]

11. SIGH...you asked for it.....

.....that tongue has always intrigued me. :evilfrown:

[JohnKleeb]

12. I guess this

Mila Kunis who is Jackie on that 70's show. Even though I dont like all the characters Ive seen her as is, I think she's pretty.

[mrfrapp]

67. Dude

That's not a "wierd" crush. That's perfectly acceptable ;-)

I've always liked the red-haired girl (Donna played by Laura Prepon, IIRC) from that show. Too tall for me in real life, but I've only got a small TV.

[CottonBear]

13. Democratic strategist Julian Epstein

He is one good looking Democrat! Really smart too. I always love to see him on TV.

[dolo amber]

15. Sir David Attenborough

Grrrr, baby! :loveya:

[redqueen]

17. hehehehehehehehe

I was trying to think of one, and saw that pic, and got all tingly.

You're onto somethin' there, dolo!

[mondo joe]

16. My Brother in Law, though I may have just been acting out or killing time

I think I developed a bit of a crush on my brother in law - older than me, heavyset, suburban dad type - just to kill time at family gatherings, or just to rebel against them quietly.

Then I realized he was a former wrestler and football player in his school days, and was good looking in his own bearish way. And then I REALLY had a crush!

[redqueen]

18. Jack Black

He so crazy!

[jus_the_facts]

20. LOL...."...and you're not hardcore....unless you live hardcore!"

.....he IS adorable in his looniness...I agree! School of Rock is one of my favorite movies ever now!! :D

[Bertha Venation]

19. Had a brief crush on Anthony Hopkins. Just after seeing "Silence

of the Lambs."

And I'm a lesbian.

That is the weirdest crush I know of.

[redqueen]

21. Me too

That scared me a little.

[eyesroll]

22. Alton Brown.

http://www.wisconsinite.net/dairyconspiracyarchives/000507.html

[RaleighNCDem]

48. Me too!!

He's a cutie, and he's funny.

I also have a crush on Anderson Cooper. It goes way back to the Channel One days.

[Patiod]

24. Alan Rickman

Not exactly a hunk.

Plus by 7th grade Math teacher, who looked a little like Alan Alda. But then we realized he was having an affair with our English teacher - and there's nothing 7th grade girls enjoy more than the vicarious thrill of watching teachers sneak around, thinking the students aren't on to them.

[laheina]

63. Alan Rickman is hot!

There's nothing weird about that. ;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. As young Catholic School girl, of course I had a crush on our pastor

at Sacred Heart, Father What-a-Waste...He was so very cute and his real name was Robert McMillan. :hi:

[CBHagman]

72. Father What-a-Waste was never assigned to my parish.

I never even heard the term until I was well into my 20s.

[Jack_Dawson]

26. Is Rick Astley...

that redhead who sounded black?

[SarahB]

38. Yup.

:D

[Feathered Fish]

27. Keith Richards

[skypilot]

28. Actor David Paymer.

I have no idea what it is about him but I'm intrigued.

On edit: Actually, I do have an idea what it might be that I like about him. It's that big Jewish nose. I love those. But still, there's something else about him that I can't put my finger on.

[LynneSin]

29. Engelbert Humperdinck

I had a crush on him when I was like 5-6 years old. My mother had an album and I loved "Please Release Me"

Not kidding!

[PassingFair]

88. You're creeping me out, Lynne!

My mother is obsessed with him. The fan club, the concerts, the whole nine yards. I have been "forced" to see him about 6 times! He is usually playing at local casino's and my mom doesn't like to drive by herself, so she pays for the room and the ticket. Once in a while, if there's a concert close to her birthday, I take HER.
I have actually had to decorate this man's dressingroom!
He's a so-so singer, but his fans are a riot. So enthusiastic.
And yes, I have pictures of myself and my mother and my BABY with him.
(A funny story in and of itself) She made me drive her to the airport to meet his plane once. This was during one of his paternity suit periods, and I swear to god, when he saw me with my 3 month-old, he didn't want to come down the walkway! Hilarious!
Oh well, anything for Mom...

[MikeG]

30. As I've said here before, Katherine Harris.

I think she's attractive, even with the goofy makeup.

[Bunny]

34. Mike, you are starting to scare me.

Katherine Harris? Gadzooks, man. :shrug:

Okay, maybe sans the makeup, she is okay. But the image of her... :scared:

[MikeG]

36. Politics do not enter into it.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

31. My current crush

is shorter than I am, looks a bit rumpled, and has funny eyebrows. Go figure.

[Tyler Durden]

32. Shirley Jones

When she sang "Sweet, and Low" in "The Music Man" (about 1960), I fell forever and madly in love.

My grandfather took me to see it at the MICHIGAN in Detroit which was at that time a beautiful, old time movie palace. I can remember how the velvet seat felt.

[edbermac]

35. That's not so weird...pretty normal reaction IMHO...

I thought she was pretty hot in her day...

[Tyler Durden]

41. She's still pretty hot.

We should ALL look as good as she does now at her age.

[arwalden]

33. Dave Navarro, Brad Garrett, Alan Cummings

[Downtown Hound]

37. My eighth grade U.S. history teacher

She wasn't really that attractive, but she had this really deep sexy voice and long black hair. I don't know, there was something about her.

[last_texas_dem]

65. Me, too

Well, not on your eighth grade U.S. History teacher, but on mine. I had her for both English and History. The only class I've ever been in where I tried to be a suck-up and teacher's pet 'cause I thought the teacher was so cool. I also detected a definite air of liberalism from her; though she had to keep it kinda in check considering where she lived.

[NoSheep]

39. Gandolfini? Y'know...Tony Soprano. I can't really say why. What a jerk!

:shrug:

[FuzzySlippers]

40. Dick Cheney.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go chop my fingers off for typing such a thing.

[imenja]

82. woah

I pronounce you the winner for weirdest crush.

[Skittles]

42. that INSOMNIAC guy Dave Attell

I just want to oil up his bald head and ride him like an amusement park. Yes INDEED! :D

[SarahB]

43. That reminded me...

David Cross!!!!

[Shredr]

44. I can't believe I'm admitting this here...

But I've developed this pathetic little crush on William Pitt. I always loved his writing here, then I popped over to Truthout, his website, and saw his pic and he's so damn cute. Then I heard his masculine, commanding voice, and I giggled like a little 12 year old Nancy. I'm not usually one to have stupid little crushes on straight guys, but he's so dreamy. I don't know anything about his personal life, but whoever's got his heart, I hope she makes him happy.

Edit: typo

[SarahB]

45. Will Pitt... hmmm...

In reality, he's got a nice behind and is quite charming.

Hi, Will. :hi:


*p.s. I don't mean to offend anyone out there who could possibly misconstrue this as me being offensive in any way, but I have to be silly and blatantly flirty today as a defense mechanism in order to not think about my real issues. Thanks.

[Cadence]

47. Really?

That's good to know. For some reason I thought he was kinda grumpy. Good to know he's actually a nice guy. :shrug:

[Shopaholic]

53. My DU crush is Will Pitt as well.

And my other media crush is on Keith Olbermann.

[laheina]

64. He is a sweetie.

From the teeniest of an exchange that I had with him. :shrug:

[TrogL]

46. Mary

This was around 1983. She was a ditzy blonde who had her own TV show during which she spent most of the time fixing things. One standing joke was her kid's bicycle which sat, unpainted, on a stand in her basement for over a year.

I don't remember the name of the show or her last name.

[datasuspect]

49. patty duke

when she was young or even martha stewart for a few days here and there.

[Ramsey]

50. Bruce Boxleitner

When he was in How The West Was Won. I was in middle school at the time, most of the girls had pictures of Shaun Cassidy and Parker Stevenson in their lockers. I had Bruce Boxleitner pics everywhere!

Actually, I am enjoying watching the older, somewhat pudgier version in the Babylon 5 DVDs.

[crispini]

51. OMG, I *so* remember Bruce Boxleitner!

Ok, I did think he was kinda cute in "Scarecrow and Mrs. King."

Damn, am I dating myself or WHAT?

[Montresor]

52. Summer Sanders and Juliet Huddy

Unfortunately, they're both on Fox

[Calico Jack Rackham]

54. This is more like a perverted fantasy type crush

and I still don't know why to this day.

Dyanne Thorne as Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS

[GalleryGod]

56. Wow! A DEEP Reach, Jack! But veddy,veddy Int-er-est-ing!

:bounce: :smoke: :bounce:

[GalleryGod]

55. Oh My God! Ursula Andress!

:wow: Coming out of the water in that white bikini:wow:

Always & Forever, Ursula:loveya:

[imenja]

84. How is that weird?

She's beautiful in a way most people would acknowledge.

[KitchenWitch]

58. Wes Clark

He is a fine looking older man!

I'm just sayin'.

[Shopaholic]

60. Kitchen--

You've got to get Clark2008 to post the "swimming pool" pic of Gen. Clark. It's smoking!

[last_texas_dem]

59. Not that weird, but kinda obscure

Growing up, I had a major crush on Danica McKellar, who played Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years. I was thinking about her again 'cause my dad recently got the episodes of the show on DVD off of Ebay so have been watching a few.

Googled her and she's still a cutie:



Real-life crushes my oddest is probably my last big one. She was adorable (always feel like a dork using that word, but she about defined it); light brown hair, big brown eyes, curvaceous, slightly big teeth. Also, one of the nicest, funniest, and most considerate girls I've ever met; took a couple college classes with her and we hung out and studied together a lot. Problems: she was (still is) engaged (obviously the biggest problem!) and was a religious fundamentalist (not a major problem for me, but my agnosticism tends to be a problem to them...) and a Republican; boggled my mind how such a sweetie could be a Republican. Still haven't figured that out...

[last_texas_dem]

62. Kick

Alright, I confess, I enjoy reading about weird crushes...

[u4ic]

66. When I was 5, I was madly in love with Barney Rubble

[imenja]

85. My nephew has the hots for Daphne on ScoobyDo

I don't recall ever having a crush on a cartoon character as a child. hmmm . . . except maybe SpongeBob :silly:

[InvisibleTouch]

68. I'm forever falling in love with...

...fictional characters. Live-action, animated, literary - I've run the spectrum. While on the one hand it's hell to be in lust with someone who doesn't exist, they're also so much less trouble than the alternative. ;)

[LynzM]

74. I'll second that...

Fictional characters.... yup, several :)

[livinginphotographs]

69. Tracee Ellis Ross

of UPN's "Girlfriends" fame.

I know she has a big nose. I know she has bug-eyes. But I can't help but think she's incredibly hot. <----weird

[El Fuego]

70. Andrew McCarthy

My only true stange crush in my life!

[blonndee]

77. I had it for him for a LONG time...after St. Elmo's Fire, I think. n/t

[Hand]

71. Mrs. Brison...

My sixth-grade teacher. Man, she was a BABE!

:loveya:

Of course, by now she's either ancient or dead.

:scared:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

73. John Kerry and Seth Meyers, on SNL.

but I think it's because he plays John Kerry on the show!? How fucked up is that??

LOL!

[Bouncy Ball]

75. My sixth grade Social Studies teacher,

my US History professor in college (I'd sit in the front row right in front of him with a miniskirt on. I was VERY bad in those days).

My little brother's best friend (he was 15 and I was 17 so it wasn't as bad as it sounds).

Can't think of any others.

Oh the guy who delivered my daughter. Ick. What a weird feeling. He was hotter than hell and sewing me up. WEIRDNESS.

[Lilith Velkor]

78. Hugo Weaving

aka Agent Smith, aka Elrond.

[msanthrope]

79. The Big Dog n/t

[immoderate]

80. Michelle Trachtenberg

Such a cutie.


--IMM

[mondo joe]

83. George Costanza on the first few seasons of Seinfeld

He doesn't have IT for me anymore but in those first seasons of Seinfeld, with the glasses and a spring in his step...

[imenja]

86. me too

and I don't know why. It's not like he's attractive, smart, or pleasant. He is a hysterically funny character though.

[mvd]

87. I have a couple weird ones

Rose McGowan
Cat Power

All the others are what I consider normal.

[Maine-ah]

89. when I was a small child

I had a thing for Mr. Rogers, I would run up to the TV and kiss him. :puke:
