Guess I’m not the only one who used to fantasize while watching Food TV Network (and it wasn’t about food!) 😉 I can think of two off the top of my head, and they’re both famous baseball players: [Alex Rodriguez](http://mrshowbiz.go.com/people/alexrodriguez/), shortstop for the Seattle Mariners. [Derek Jeter](http://www.yankees.com/clubhouse/jeter_frames.php3), shortstop for the NY Yankees. Both are sexy hunks, uber-dreamy, totally to-die for, and single!!!. Oh wait… my sexiest person not an actor or model would be… [Obfusciatrist](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=4905)!!! ---

My picks: David Gossett James Lileks Jakob Dylan ---

I’m glad my crushes on Kevin Smith and Ben Folds have been validated here. (see “Laminated List” thread) But I almost forgot Kurt Browning, Canadian figure skater. He’s got an ass I could just sink my teeth into! ---

Hey,I thought this was supposed to be about “people you find sexy for reasons other that physical perfection”. And everybodies talking about hunks and asses. In keeping with the original gist I’m going with Leonard Cohen. Going by the pictures on the CDs he des nothing for me. He looks like an even more hangdog Al Pacino. But “I’m Your Man” is the sexiest song ever written. And “Dance me to the End of Love”. I would love to get into a self-destructive relationship with him. ---

I was aiming to hear about people that we dig because of their style, some intangible quality they have that causes our internal combustion engines to fire rapidly. I really like yours, betenoir, it was exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to hear about. Kind of like what Jack Palance was talking about in that Aqua Velva commercial (or whatever aftershave it was), where he goes: “Confidence is _so_ sexy, don’t you think?” Oh, yes, Jack, yes! ---

Stuy, my Learning Channel Dreamboat is definitely NOT David Mcullough or Steven Ambrose! Yikes. This guy is in his (I think) 40s, and is not well-known at all. Just shows up on these documentaries pretty regularly. I think he’s a history prof at some college, maybe in Calif. Trouble is, you can tell he KNOWS how good-looking he is . . . ---
