Well, I’ll already disclosed my real-life crush [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=48525), so there’s no need to rehash that.

On-the-board crushes… Well, **TwistofFate** always makes me swoon. :😊:

Being a married person, I only have crushes on famous men. That way I’ll never meet them.

Does that mean I’m not a newbie anymore? Or that I’m not your favorite? You can go STRAIGHT off that list o’mine, buddy! Don’t MAKE me snap!

I have a crush…only…I don’t think it’s a true crush anymore. Methinks it is so much better.

I don’t particularly like Crushes, but I did have a few glasses of OJ earlier today.

Well, if you put it that way, it’d have to be cuz you’re not a newbie anymore. Do I get to stay on your list now? Your list may be the only list I make.

I have a crush on a poster here mostly because I saw his picture on one of the DubDope picture page. He’s just got that “look” that I love in men. Same reason I fell for my husband when I saw him get out of his car the first time we met.  
A newbie with a crush based soley on appearence. 🙂  
Is that bad?

Well - I would like to throw my hat into the ring for having a crush on \*\* Crunchy Frog \*\*. I really admire his evil sense of humour.

**DPR** I can’t have a crush on you - you are too close a friend. Same goes for **Rift**.

Ummm… I also have a crush on someone at home but _sigh_ that is just not going to happen. ☹ As **DPR** said - if he was looking for a relationship then I wouldn’t be the type of person he would date ☹ I guess I fall into the shaggable but not dateable category. It is sad because he makes me feel like an absolute princess.

So **Crunchy Frog** you are it at the moment. You had better feel privileged 😉 You may get those nekkid pics yet.

\<slaps forehead\> How in the HELL did I forget **wyldelf**? Baby, PLEASE forgive me! I’m soooooooo crazy about you! You can go to the top of my list. Pretty please? I don’t even need the nekkid pics, just some more snuggle time.  
And **Froggy,** you’re off the hook for now. Don’t let it happen again.

**Ender,** are you by any chance familiar with the _Barbie Goes To The Prom_ board game from the 1960s? In it, if a girl played her cards right, she could go to the prom with either Ken, or Bob (his jock friend), or Tom (the brainy friend), or Poindexter (no description necessary–the name says it all). Of course, I was never allowed to win and to go to the prom with Ken, because it was Carolyn’s game, and we had to let HER have Ken. But I had enough social status in this particular tribe of suburban pre-teen primates that I could have my pick of the other three, and I always went with Tom.

I’m afraid I already have the most dreadful crush on **Colibri**. He’s Ken, and Carolyn is nowhere in sight. But you, dear, can be Tom. Okay? 😉

Hello beautiful person. You could definately convince me to look for a SWF instead of SWM any day.

You are definately on my list Nym!!! Plenty of cuddles and snuggles - any time you need them.

Yeah - I wouldn’t want nekkid pics of me either! That’s why dpr has them and not me - I would throw them out.

OK Revised list:  
**Nymysys**  
**Crunchy Frog** though if I can’t be his favourite newbie I don’t know about wanting to have a crush on him - I was never real good at accepting seconds.

saaa weeet!

I’ve never heard of that game, but I have no doubts that it existed, and was even more popular than the Cricket doll, or other girl type things (which I wouldn’t know of because I, being a boy, blew things up as a kid instead of playing with them).

The closest I can imagine it is a game like it on a Simpson’s episode. I believe it involved Malibu Stacy and the “nerd” looked exactly like Milhouse.

**lilah** , microgoddess, can I still have a crush on you even though we’re married? 😉  
**Nymph** , babe, if you _ever_ need a married man to lust over, here I am. Regardless, I’ve got a plethora of lust heading in your direction.  
**Rasa** , hon, don’t make me bust out with the poetry.  
**Gaudere** , you will never go unmentioned in one of these threads as long as I’m still here.  
**Tymp** , butter boy, sorry. You still don’t make the grade.
