Actually, now that I've given it some thought, I'd probably say Carrie McLaren, but that one may not count, since that's largely a holdover from the real crush I had when we DJed at the same station. Therefore, I second Mimi Smartypants and add Julia.
17 and 20 were posted by Labs, not you, ogged. I was wondering what enabled him to articulate his feelings about 16 (though of course he did not so articulate), not about your reasons.
did the graphic for this post, by any chance, derive from The Legend of Zelda? There are only so many ways one can render hearts, tis true, but looking at them, I can't help thinking I need more life force.
does that mean that I, like JE, was pwned? I contend not: when the statement is both obviously false and of little or no import, it cannot truly be pwned. Attempting such is is like pwning yourself or maybe Mind So Fine-ing, whatever that means.
I would also say Carla Gugino if she had a blog but then, how can one type when one's breasts are so mighty? As I often say to myself, hard to type when your talent(s) keep getting in the way.
I have a troll crush on Tim Ingram who back in 97 was posting to rec.boats.paddle, a whitewater list (I was reading it all the time in withdrawal from whitewater after moving away from north carolina), calling paddlers murders for teaching a whitewater boater to roll rather than forcing newbies to use inflatable floats called sponsons (which he claimed to sell). It's an earnest group, and people could not stop arguing with him. It was truly punching tar baby, since he was relentless. I see he was still at it in 2004!

ac: Can you plausibly (and it's easy to be plausible on the internet) claim to be/have once been a ravishing harem girl ferociously guarded by a jealous yet impotent sultan? If so, then, under the rule I allowed for SB, I cannot reasonably refuse blogcrushing you.
I note the conspicuous absence of profgrrl. Has her preferrence for Ogged driven the rest to bitter jealousy?
I also note my prediliction today for making up bizarre shit. What's with that?
My blog crush on FL for his non-sequitur one-liners is exceeded only by my blog crush on Apostropher bco his amazing ability to find links to the weirdest, yet somehow relevant, stuff on the internet.
All current blog and other crushes held by me in the past are revoked. I am hereby switching teams for the guy who came up with this. So wrong, it must be right. Way better than time cube guy. This is insanity, in a way that, I just, well. Shit. I'm reduced to slack-jawed, kicked-in-the-head-by-a-mule awe.
Thanks to Kriston, et al. for bringing my new hero into my life.
Being an accountant was Billy Joel's dream; when he found out that he would be required to learn arithmetic, he was crushed. His own accountant swindled him by convincing him that in the continental system he was using, a million has three zeroes.
I did run into the only Decemberist I know yesterday, and they said that all of the members of the band have been able to live off their music for the last year or two. The financial level is sort of middle-middle class, except that musicians have a lot of various perks that middle-managers don't. (You have to like to travel.)
They also said that not only does Kill Rock Stars treat musicians very, very well, but that they're the only Indie label that still does. The down side is that KRS artists have to create their own buzz, which is what the Decemberists did.
So anyway, given the choice between a KRS artist an any other, buy the KRS one.
"Joel has always had a trusting, open attitude in his both his business and personal relationships. This attitude was manifested as advice in the song "Tell Her About It", as well as in an expression of his own needs in "Honesty" and "And So It Goes". "
Wow.
As far as I know, the manager who swindled one was a different manager than the ex-wife manager who merely took half his assets, as per usual.
No, my son is an ex-Decemberist. I know an actual Decemberist also. Note that I have left the gender uncertain because of privacy concerns. The band is divided 3/2.
while i'm delighted at my unintended gender-bending eroticism, i can assure you that i am most decidedly female, as the picture on my defunct blog indicates.
and my moaning mouth, gentlemen of the jury, almost reached her bare neck, while I crushed out against her left buttock the last throb of the longest ecstasy man or monster had ever known.
neener neener neener!
Immediately afterward (as if we had been struggling and now my grip had eased) she rolled off the sofa and jumped to her feet—to her foot, rather—in order to attend to the formidably loud telephone that may have been ringing for ages as far as I was concerned.
I think Kim is of age, SB. And wait, this crush was announced back in January? Spontaneous like? And I missed it? Reading Foucault wasn't a complete waste of time!
yes, announced in january. i'm surprised you never saw it.
and if we're going for underage eroticism, there's a passage in sue miller's lost in the forest to beat all (though i was unaware of the underage factor at first).
I wrote 140 before seeing that Kim had disposed of the gender ambiguity. Accordingly, we read Kim as doing the crushing, and you, dearest Logglita, as the crushed-upon.
Joe, that was one of the all-time great PoorMan posts, and that's one freaking high bar to clear. Why he isn't rich and famous already is a mystery I may never unravel.

I did run into the only Decemberist I know yesterday, and they said that all of the members of the band have been able to live off their music for the last year or two. The financial level is sort of middle-middle class, except that musicians have a lot of various perks that middle-managers don't. (You have to like to travel.)

Now this is embarrasing. Text, where are those REDACTEDs I lent you?
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 08- 4-05 8:59 AM
saving them for when they are truly needed.

That's an odd way of referring to your son.

i feel compelled to confess my sins and note that ogged is my blog crush.
humiliated, i now return to silently reading.

Howcome I get the blog crush that comes with "mental constipation?" "Humiliated?"
In any case, woohoo!

I am normally resigned to not understanding what bw is referring to roughly 2/3 of the time, but 127 -- wtf???
Posted by text | Link to this comment | 08- 4-05 9:12 AM
It's in reference to 120.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 08- 4-05 9:14 AM
don't worry, just think of all the brilliance hidden inside my head, waiting for that special release.
humiliated, because i'm exposed and vulnerable.

No, my son is an ex-Decemberist. I know an actual Decemberist also. Note that I have left the gender uncertain because of privacy concerns. The band is divided 3/2.

Umm. Umm.
Kim has a crush on me, neener neener neener! Kim has a crush on me, neener neener neener!

I dunno, ogged. Kim is a guy's name too, and this Kim is talking about a "special release" from his/her "head".
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 08- 4-05 9:33 AM
Your point, b-dub?

If it turns out to be Kim DuToit, I'll buy you guys dinner.

OK, I was leaning towards Healy for my SSBC, but there really is no one who compares to the Gayatollah.

while i'm delighted at my unintended gender-bending eroticism, i can assure you that i am most decidedly female, as the picture on my defunct blog indicates.

Kim has a crush on me,
neener neener neener!
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 08- 4-05 9:50 AM
I think Kim is of age, SB. And wait, this crush was announced back in January? Spontaneous like? And I missed it? Reading Foucault wasn't a complete waste of time!
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 08- 4-05 9:56 AM
That handsome devil, Ogged Ogged.
Posted by text | Link to this comment | 08- 4-05 9:57 AM
yes, of age.
yes, announced in january. i'm surprised you never saw it.
and if we're going for underage eroticism, there's a passage in sue miller's lost in the forest to beat all (though i was unaware of the underage factor at first).

I think Kim is of age, SB.
I wrote 140 before seeing that Kim had disposed of the gender ambiguity. Accordingly, we read Kim as doing the crushing, and you, dearest Logglita, as the crushed-upon.

re: 137
Everyone knew "The Pussification of the Western Male" was covering for some deep insecurities, but who knew it went this far?

No you aren't.

No I'm not.

I have had a blog-crush on FL for like two years now. Never had a name for it until now--this thing I feel for FL.

"Fontana Jr." would have done in a pinch.

Attention, all: I'm formally switching my same-sex blog crush to The Editors.

Joe, that was one of the all-time great PoorMan posts, and that's one freaking high bar to clear. Why he isn't rich and famous already is a mystery I may never unravel.
