I have a big ol’ crush on Craig Ferguson. Man, I just think he is the funniest, handsomest creature on earth. I work for a subsidiary of CBS and so I have access to their e-mail directory(then again, he reads e-mails from the public on his show, so I guess I aint got squat) and I keep trying to think of some clever message to send to him that will sweep him off his feet. I wonder if that would be considered sexual harassment in the workplace? ---

> [@congodwarf](#): > > My boss. He’s only 6 years older than me, very cute, very nice, very funny and one of my best friends. He just broke up with his fiancee of 7 years and I’m in the process of a breakup with my fiancee of 7 years. We have gotten along great since the day we met. We work well together. We have the same interests and personality flaws. Seems like it was meant to be huh? > Unfortunately, he’s my boss and I would never jepordize the job that I love like that. Also, I don’t think I’m his type. Most of my male friends treat me like one of the guys. They don’t seem to realize I’m a chick. I find this mind boggling that not only was one couple engaged for _seven years_, but yet another couple was also engaged for _seven years_. Cripes, that’s almost a marriage. ---

In my fantasy world: \*\* Hugh Grant, Hugh Laurie, Colin Firth, Jason Statham.\*\* and just about any other british actor…::::::::::::::::::::::::::_swoon_ ::::::::::::::::: cause I am a total and complete sucker for all thing British. \*\* Russel Crowe\*\* is up there and the actor who played **Horatio Hornblower**.

IRL, there are a couple of guys at work. One is just completely and utterly hot, the other less conventionally so but he has a sweet personality and a gorgeous smile. Would never ever never say anything to either of them, owing to workplace constraints. Ah well. On the little screen, I find that [Josh Bernstein](http://www.boss-inc.com/08Bios_Josh.html) is worth a happy sigh. On preview: Rodney McKay?! Okay, if we’re going fictional too, then add John Sheppard and Mal Reynolds to the list. 😛 ---

[Eugene Hütz](http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/1552/eugene192rr.jpg) from Gogol Bordello. I merely intensely respected him as a musician until I met him after their show in Las Vegas and fell **HARD**. I also infected a dear friend and co-worker with the Eugene-lust after I convinced her to watch _Everything Is Illuminated_, and now she and I stare dreamily at his pictures all day and make our boyfriend (her)/husband (me) jealous. Brilliant, talented, sexy, vulgar and foreign. _drooool_ No one in real life, except my adorable husband. 😃 ---

> [@drm](#): > > I’m sorry I missed that. Not that i really need more of a reason to be in love with her, just that I don’t know a lot about that side of her. Yeah, I don’t have a huge thing for her, but I do find her wildly attractive, and the interview really helped. She was talking about how shooting _V for Vendetta_ really made her challenge her beliefs and how she really had to sit down and do some thinking about what she believed and why she believed them and she hoped that people did the same when they saw the movie. She’s definitely in the Ideal Girl category. ---

Nah, the “bag and tag” comes from wildlife conservation. They tranquilize the bear (read: woman), inject it, take out blood, do whatever they want to it, then tag it and let it romp off in the wilds with the other bears where you can track its progress…and re-bag where appropriate. Devilishly naughty, yes. But it’s not the “Harry Houdini” (highlight to read. I don’t know how to do spoiler boxes): tell a girl that your fantasy is to do her from behind with her boobs pressed against the glass shower door. start the job going, then switch with your buddy. wave to her from other side of the glass door. fun for everyone involved in the equation that’s not female. ---

> [@phall0106](#): > > I find this mind boggling that not only was one couple engaged for _seven years_, but yet another couple was also engaged for _seven years_. Cripes, that’s almost a marriage. Sorry, let me rephrase that. My boyfriend of 7 years (fiancee for 5-1/2). I think my boss and his ex were engaged for less than that but I’m not sure. And in my family, 7 years is enough time for 2 or 3 marriages! ---

I’ll join the crowd crushing on Alton Brown. He’s cute, smart, funny, and good in the kitchen. If I didn’t already have a cute, smart, funny man in my house, I’d be writing mash notes to Alton Brown. (Mmmmm… mashed notes. Be sure not to overbeat, or they get tough…) ---

To all those who named your spouse…is that really a crush? To me, the term “crush” implies something passing, something unsustainable. And back to the OP, I have several crushes at any one time, usually. Different crushes for different people. I have a couple at work right now, which sucks because they’re pretty much all “below” me in the company structure. I feel really uncomfortable going there. ---
