Brian Dennehy. I can’t explain it. I absolutely LOVE him. ---

Tori Spelling (G-d help me). She just looks weird. My ex used to laugh when she’d catch me watching, “Mother May I Sleep With Danger” or the one where Tori is a college prostitute. Of course the web page, “What Happened To Tori Spelling’s Breasts?” also helped me focus on her, uh, assets. Damn it, now I’m going to be walking around the rest of the day singing, “And I wish that I was like Tori Spelling; with a car like hers and a dad like hers.” ---

[Cathy Jones](http://www.winnipegcomedyfestival.com/mediakit/images13.html). Cute, intelligent, and funny as hell. What could be better? ---

Ozzy Osbourne. Well, I had the hots for him when I was in high scholl, but it was in his post bat-biting overweight alcoholic phase. Ritchie Blackmore still makes me drool. I think it’s the way he plays guitar- those solos that go in your ears, wind through your cerebral cortex, down your spine, then run a finger up the inside of your leg… My mom adores Tommy Lee Jones. I adore Harrison Ford. We saw _The Fugitive_ together- mother daughter droolfest. Then there’s James Marsters, but I don’t think that falls into the “weird” crush category. ---

**Superdude** , your two “strange crushes” are also my husband’s. He is absolutely wild about Bonnie Hunt. I have a new crush that is bordering on fanaticism: Michael Chiklis. About three weeks ago, my husband begged me to _please_ come watch “The Shield” with him, a show I’d really not cared to see. I sat down, after a little grumbling, and fell head over heels in love with Vic. The show is fabulous, don’t get me wrong, but I’d watch that guy just standing still for a solid hour. He is sex personified. My friends are taking up a collection to have me committed. [sub]Just typing this post about him has my heart doing little fluttery things. Of course, that could be the chili dogs I had for lunch. [/sub] ---

I’m happily crushing on large percentages of the cast of the **LotR** movies, but the only one in that category that I think anyone would find particularly _strange_ is, er, Brad Dourif. Yes, as Grima. No, I don’t understand it either. I haven’t the slightest idea why someone with no eyebrows would be a turn-on for me . . . ---

My husband thinks Ray’s wife on Everybody Loves Raymond is ‘hot’. Not cute…not agreeable…not OK, but hot. He’s very odd. ---

R Lee Ermey. Most remember him from Full Metal Jacket, but I watch him every week on The History Channel’s Mail Call. What a tough, funny, smart guy. And those peircing grey eyes. There is something wrong with me, isn’t there? ---

Cathy Rogers, the creater and ex-host of _Junkyard Wars_. Not entirely out of the ordinary, she is cute as hell, but my level of infatuation goes beyond what others might feel warranted. ---

Kevin Spacey Tommy Lee Jones Bruce Willis and when he was younger… Jack Lemmon… strange oh, and I can agree with the Grima thing as well! ---

to JarBabyJ… I think the wife on Everybody Loves Raymond is HOT too, not cute, not pretty but HOT… by the way her name is Patricia Heaton. I also think Paget Brewster on the Andy Richter Show is HOT. i have a thing for brunettes i guess. ---

I’ve got a few not-strange ones but this thread is about the strange, so here goes. Tom Baker (Dr. Who) Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder (as someone else said) Ross from Friends. (The other two guys are grotesque though. Ick!!) I also like Alan Rickman, but he’s sort of known for being a chick magnet, isn’t he? And therefore out of the “strange” category?
