After viewing American Pie2 I realized I had the hots for “band camp girl.” Maybe it is her smile or those eyes, yet it cannot compare to the real horror of the woman I am most ashamed to be seriously attracted to… Tonya Harding. I was never a fan of her as an Ice Skater. I am more of an Oksana Bakul kinda guy in that department. but after the hubcap beating she administered to her Boyfriend I just cant keep her out of my mind. _sigh_ ---

“Band camp girl” is Alyson Hannigan. And being attracted to her is nothing to be ashamed of (but she’s mine, so don’t try anything :)). Some people over on the somethingawful forums have started an “Alyson Hannigan is fucking hot” army. They’re right, dammit. ---

I had the hots for “band camp girl” on Pie 1. I found her extremely hot. Haven’t seen II yet, but I’m looking forward to it. As for Tonya… dude… I dunno what to say… ---

I always kinda liked band camp girl. She was cute, and the fact that she kept telling her band camp stories and was totally oblivious to how lame they were was strangely endearing. ---

If you keep doing it into your late late 20s then it gets kinda nasty. It’s like a step or two away from being illegal. But I agree, Ariel. Ooh and Min Mei from Robotech. But at least they’re human. ---
