Oh yes, him too. Can’t I have a Mike Rowe/Anthony Bourdain sandwich?

How greedy of me.

Finally! Now I know who that guy is in the Ford commercials. Since you mentioned him a second time and I’d never heard of him I looked him up.

Every time I’ve see him in a commercial it would bug me because I had no idea who he was but he seemed to be a well-known person.

Of course I could have always done a search on it but that would require, you know, thinking it through.

Now I know who he is and that he’s y’all’s boyfriend.

Hey, I got that one! 🙂

Mine is Kristin Chenoweth. I have very little interest in “Glee”, but I watch it when she’s on. I still mourn the passing of “Pushing Daisies”, as it gave me a weekly dose of KC.

Andy Travis from WKRP in Cincinnati and I had a long-term relationship…until he disappeared off the face of the earth and turned up doing dinner theater or something, somewhere. Since he’s 64 now (!) and kind of old for me, I’ve had to move on… Dr. Robert Chase from House took a fancy to me while I was hospitalized, he told me that I was that one special patient every doctor falls for, hard. As soon as his divorce from the tiresome Cameron comes through, we’re going to move to Australia and live in a condo with a view of the Sydney Opera House - woo-hoo!

Castiel (Misha Collins) is my angel. He doesn’t get enough screen time though. But I can look at those other pretty boys on Supernatural while I’m waiting.

I’d also take Craig Ferguson but looks like I’d have to fight for him.

That two-timer!!!

For the longest time, it was whatever character Tina Fey happened to be playing (including herself…and yes, including Palin) but after I broke up with my real life girlfriend who looked just like her, the TV version was no fun anymore.

That’s not true, I still love you, Tina!!!

I’m also starting to develop a relationship with The Waitress, she just doesn’t know it yet either.

You’ll have to fight my best friend for him - she recently went to a Supernatural convention in Paris where she met him. (She brought him a special kind of cheese that her region of France is famous for because just going to a convention wasn’t nerdy enough for her; she had to be one of those people who bring presents.) She’s now deeply in love with him. My new hobby is pointing and laughing at her.

Boys! Don’t fight. Look, you don’t see me threating to cut **Sleeps With Butterflies** even though I first claimed Eric two seasons ago, do you?

Monica Geller from Friends. Attractive, good cook, neat obsessed and likes sarcastic humor. No question, hands down champ. Even will put up with her idiot brother.

As for ones currently on TV, Britta from Community. Yum, yum, yum. But I feel like a creep old man for wanting her.

Lilith from Cheers.

I’m not very happy. Except for the times when I’m very, very happy. She knows this. Bitch.

Don’t tell her I said that.
