In the movie Ghost World (2001), the character Rebecca, played by Scarlett Johansson, says of a boy she sees in a restaurant “he gives me a total boner!” ---

He’s cute, but I’m a Keith Olbermann fan girl myself. I’d play “oddball” with him any day, if you know what I mean. 😃 ---

Possum Boy? He looks like he would be really nice, but he doesn’t make my girly bits get warm and squishy. [QUOTE=fifty-six] Robin Meade has helped me in the morning before and no one had to hold a gun to my head [/QUOTE] Oh lordy, she is so pretty! And without that “I’m so pretty,” attitude. ---

You have to admire that girl’s balls. So I guess she’s got a full set? ---

The only talking head that gets me wet is Jon Stewart. But everybody wants Jon Stewart. ---

[QUOTE=Excalibre] But everybody wants Jon Stewart. [/QUOTE] Not me. He strikes me as one of those “probably _much_ more attractive when fully dressed” guys. Maybe because he keeps talking about his spinal bifida and goiters and hunchback and pot belly . . . ---

[/QUOTE] You say that as if it’s a negative thing… Oh, and **Sampiro** , if you do get some R&R and get to Atlanta, we Dopers will pick up the tab for a night out with Coop. Anderson Cooper is in Atlanta, right? If not, this part totally doesn’t work. ---

[QUOTE=Excalibre] The only talking head that gets me wet is Jon Stewart. But everybody wants Jon Stewart. [/QUOTE] He’s a beautiful man, but he’s weirdly asexual for me, like a…puppy? What is this association my brain is making? A I don’t know, but I can’t convince myself he’s as hot as I think he is. Yet I’ve had the occasional momentary pause over, of all people, Tucker Carlson. I mean, in a really perverse way that probably would involve bowties used as gags and implements of destruction applied repeatedly to sensitive areas. I find him repulsive and I adore Stewart, yet if I had to sign up for after-school activities with just one of them, I’d have to go for the toad. Whatever this says about my current partners, I’m not going to speculate. ---

I’d do Anderson Cooper and John Stewart at the same time…in the same bed…with my shoes on. ---

[QUOTE=Sampiro] The rumor is that he’s gay and open about it but CNN contractually forbids him from mentioning it. [/QUOTE] :eek: I never heard of such a thing.
