I just love Steve from Blues Clues…

The guy that really scares me (and I don’t know how many of you have this channel) is Ainsley… I guess it’s a cooking show…I haven’t tuned in long enough to see what else he does… The few times I do pass through, he is always dancing and throwing his oregano and spices in the bowl while dancing… and he calls his wife… Claire bear. ???

Ok, so I feel like a total failure as a parent now. OK SO MY SON WASN’T POTTY TRAINED TIL HE WAS FOUR!!! He’s defective and we are unfit. He should be put in an institution and we should be sterilized. We tried very hard but it just didn’t happen until he was ready. I was planning on having another child, but I guess I should just go get spayed instead.

You can go [here](http://www.nickjr.com/bluesclues/home.html) to see more than you want to know about Blue & Steve.

Sadly to say, I got a 100% on the [quiz](http://home1.gte.net/mbh/bcquiz.htm) when it appeared elsewhere. There are kids in the house, and we have **all** the videos. : :rolleyes::

It’s not the same shirt and pants. On the episode where we see Steve and Blue’s closets there are several pair of the same pants and several green striped shirts. He’s just a boring dresser. 🙂

Ok, add me to the secret crush list. I hope my husband’s not reading this or I’ll never hear the end of it.

The Urban Legend going around my daughter’s school right now is that Steve’s gay and just died from a drug overdose. One of her friends just told me this the other day.

It’s too wierd to see this thread reappear right after that conversation. I was just thinking about posting a new thread asking if anyone else had heard this, when, **POOF** , this thread appeared!

Way too many coincidences like this are happening lately. I think I’m living the “Truman Show” or something.

Since we’re talking about kids’ show hosts and gayness and all that stuff:

Am I the only one who (on first glance) thought the two guys on **Zoboomafoo** were really out gay lovers? (Yes, I know they’re brothers, but I still find them really touchy-feely.)

Especially with that “They’re coming from the closet, and they’re headed out the door” song. Really weird vibe on that show.

Okaytym: The drug overdose thing is a UL, and it was pretty well debunked at Snopes. But the only place I’ve heard anyone say anything about Steve being gay is here on the SDMB. I don’t know if it’s true or not. Don’t much care, either. Steve’s hot. Hot, hot, hot. 😃

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but has anyone seen what Steve is up to these days?

He’s releasing a rock album. He has also shaved his head. Btw, check out those sexy arms: [Steves Casino Webpage.com – The Original Pokie & Casino Database](http://www.steveswebpage.com/media/img/goggles.jpg)
