> [@dropzone](#): > > And I would go straight (wait a tic: wasn’t I already straight?) for her. The concept of “The Truth About Cats and Dogs” didn’t work for me because I couldn’t see how Uma Thurman was hotter than Janeane Garofalo. I saw that movie again just a few days ago, and I had the same problem. Janeane Garofalo is sex on a stick. Uma Thurman… well, she’s pretty much just a stick. ---

Oh, can’t believe I forgot to say Mayim Bialik. I’ve crushed on her since Blossom. And getting a Ph.D in neuroscience? Funny _and_ good-looking _and_ super-smart? Triple-threat hot! ---

> [@Barking\_Dog](#): > > You’re not alone. A lot of guys I know, and myself, perved on her when that show was on. I still find her quite attactive today. She’s aged quite well. There’s nothing WTF about her. And yeah, she’s aging just fine, she can keep it for lots of time. ---

I am, in my OCD way, driven to offer up Robert Carlyle, Rumpelstiltskin on Once Upon A Time. Mr. Carlyle hasn’t pushed Alan Rickman aside, but they are jostling for position. In my sad little mind! ---

> [@Aji\_de\_Gallina](#): > > There’s nothing WTF about her. > And yeah, she’s aging just fine, she can keep it for lots of time. I heartily concur. However, I can imagine a slight WTF in **RiverRunner’s** estimate if there is an age gap between himself and Mrs. Richardson. She was, after all, a mature woman during the show’s run, playing a mother of three. A beautiful woman to be sure, but (particularly to a younger man), not necessarily an object of lust. And yet she was and continues to be. 🙂 ---

Alice Cooper (yes, he’s funny looking. He’s also \*very \*sexy in his AC persona). Alan Rickman (I’m not sure I’d call him a “WTF?” though. Lots of people have crushes on him) Gene Wilder, circa “Willy Wonka” David Hyde Pierce Jeremy Irons Julian Sands ---

I believe I’ve mentioned my raging crush on Jorge Garcia. I like big boys. ---
