> Alphagene. No, I’m not kidding. He’s got that whole cranky, brilliant, edgy New Yorker thing going. I love it. I’m sure he not only doesn’t know I have a crush on him, but doesn’t even know I exist. _sigh_

Me too, friend, me too. It’s sort of one of those “He’s so cool and he would never like a silly girl like me cause he’s just the coolest, smartest, cutest guy _ever_” crushes. I met him in New York last year and I tried to speak but I kept saying dumb things, so I just walked away. _sigh_ Think I’ll just get that loser tatoo after all.

I carry an undying flame for **Ukelale Ike** because he is so smart and witty and brilliant. He reminds me of Samuel Johnson crossed with Oscar Wilde, only better. And he’s cute, cute cute. Best of all, I bet he knows who Samuel Johnson is and could wax poetic about Dictionary Johnson’s view of Shakespeare and the accuracy of Boswell’s biography of him for hours. I love it when men talk literature with me.

**PezPunk** rocks my world, because he reminds me of this guy I had a mad crush on in high school. He never fails to make me laugh - even his sig makes me giggle. And he’s cute - I love looking at his picture - I even saved it! :eek:

**PLDennison** rocks my world too, just cause he’s so smart and witty and kind. He’s the kind of guy I wanna marry someday. That’s not a secret, though, because I’ve outed myself before.

Finally, **LuxFiat** was my first DoperCrush, and will always hold a warm spot in my heart. I even got to lick him! I was drunk and practically raped the poor guy, but he was always a perfect (handsome, funny, smart, cool) gentleman. One A-class man who’ll make some lucky woman very happy someday.

Those are the main ones. I could go on, but the list would get really long.

**Manhattan** –Because he scares me, and I like that. 🙂

**tracer** –Because I have never seen a post of his that I didn’t like. (And he’s got close to 8000!)

**David B** –I don’t have the time or the space to explain all the reasons.

Man, talk about your **unrequited** love. ☹

You should have seen me when Sua told me Ike really did notice my legs at the May Dopefest. I was _giddy_.

_sigh_ Lucky, lucky girl. No doubt your legs are better than mine, but I will so be wearing a short skirt to the NY Dopefest this January.

Speaking of which, **SuaSponte** is one sexy babe. But I only say that cause he danced with me, kissed me frequently, asked me to marry him (or maybe it was the other way around…) and rubbed my back when I told him I was going to puke. Here’s lookin at you, kid.

Yeah, Ike is dreamy. Yum.

Seriously, my crushes know who they are. And I’ve got all their phone numbers and they have mine. 🙂

Apparently, ladies love haiku.

Boy, both **Cranky** _and_ **Francesca** have the hots for me. Now, don’t fight, ladies! At least not until the Jello is ready!

I don’t think I’d describe them as “crushes”, but I look forward to the posts of Sam Stone, Cartooniverse, wring, minty green, Jodi, Manda JO, SPOOFE (I’ve always liked SPOOFE since way back), Ender24…they’re all great, on many different and diverse topics. There are just a whole lot of great (and twisted) [sub]no, I don’t mean you SPOOFE, not me[/sub] minds here.

But you know, there are way too many more to list here, I come up with more and more names all the time. And I’m too fatigued right now to list them all.

I think you are all just fabulous.

I have two words for all you people.

Liquid fuck…  
anybody that can come up with that gets my vote everytime.  
I am waiting to become friends with someone here so I can have them give her a note on the playground. You know something like:

```
   Do you like random1?
     circle yes or no.

```

I can just hear her now. Random1 who the hell is he?

Secret?  
Unrequited?

well, that trims down the list, eh?

I’m pretty damn open about folks I like.

But tell ya what - I had this extremely erotic dream about another poster the other night. Bare butt was involved. :eek:

(thanks **yosemite** , you’re on my list o’ folks, too).

Being, ahem, married and all, I (of course) cannot allow myself to have crushes, even secret and unrequited ones. That said, well, uh, at the August ChiDope I might have realized that, were I to give in to temptation and have one, I wouldn’t be able to narrow it down because ALL of the ChiDope women, including the imports and our waitress, are beautiful, intelligent, charming, funny, and totally lewd. Ya gotta like “lewd” in a woman!

[rubbing eyes]

hmmmm that LOOKS like my name

[rubbing eyes again in disbelief]

IT IS MY NAME! Woo hoo! Not only that but a hottie like **nancho4sara** said it! So you saved my pic on your comp? The “clean” one or the one with me in the g-string with those three nuns wrestling in pudding?

Let’s see crushes… definetly **Bad News Baboon** cute AND an awesome sense of humor. The only girl I know that jokes about adult diapers and plays with her food (bannana boy).  
also  
**nacho4sara** and **brokendoll** just for being so damn cute!

[sub]Now if I could only get that lil redhead girl to notice me 🙂
