to have this strange crush?

I thought I was pushing it when I had a thing for Sportacus a few years ago.

But now I go weak at the knees for the cat, in The Cat in the Hat film (played by Mike Myers). I like his confidence and his dangerous edge.

Am I wrong in the head?

I once had a thing for a male barbie doll named Blane, But only when my best friend did his voice.

(uhm, I have a stupid weird crush on a dude who works at LIDL, given the disparity between myself and said LIDL employee, no.

YANBU.)

anneatkins but at least the dude from LIDL is human. I fancy a talking cat.

My cousin is totally in love with Optimus Prime - he of the Transformer-type-non-human variety! Hmm

I fancied kermit the frog when I was little.

CreamolaFoamless · 16/12/2011 21:11

I want a pet gizmo

And I have a weird thing with ollie murs

cheekeyiownitmonkey · 16/12/2011 21:14

I fancy Handy Manny, but to be fair if you don't you are weird.

HowlingBitch · 16/12/2011 21:14

Ollie wins for strangeness. Ewrgh.

Xmas Grin

Yeah, Olly Murs = not human.

I'll take the cat, thanks.

PsychicSatsumaInYourStocking · 16/12/2011 21:17

what about the wiggles?

HowlingBitch · 16/12/2011 21:23

NEVER. Utter those two words again. Ever.

I have all sorts of strange crushes. Tim Roth and that guy in the Smurfs movie with the big forehead (who was also in Starship Troopers!) Also Christopher eccleston, who I first took a shine to when I saw him in Sgallow grave. Then there's Jim Carey. He is exactly my kinda crazy! Nicolas cage too.

They're all kooky in their way or play kooky parts. I'm irrationally drawn to the crazies. Just ask my Husband!

I always found Simba in the Lion King to be very attractive somehow. Like if he was a man, he would be gorgeous Smile

thepeoplesprincess · 16/12/2011 21:30

I've always found the Foxy Bingo fox to be a bit, um, foxy.

Veda I consider Jim Carrey to be one of my sane crushes!

Nicolas Cage. Nicholas CAGE??????

Is this some kind of alternative planet? I don't like it.

YonderRevoltingPeasantWhoIsHe · 16/12/2011 21:37

Nicholas, clearly.

Veda · 16/12/2011 21:37

weathergirl he's definately got it. I don't know what ''it'' is but whatever it is- he's got it!

Veda · 16/12/2011 21:40

If it's an alternative planet, book me on the shuttle OUT!!

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 16/12/2011 21:43

But Olly Murs is lovely Xmas Grin. That's not a strange crush. A strange crush would be...Richard Madeley or Gordon Brown or something.

I have a weird thing for Jack Black. No idea why. I don't really fancy him, well at least I don't think I do Xmas Hmm but there's just something about him.

Currently watching Keanu Reeves in Speed - now there's a crush.

sneezecake · 16/12/2011 21:53

I love robbie rotten, and mr bloom.

Sookeh · 16/12/2011 21:55

After watching the Cbeebies panto I'm harbouring naughty thoughts for Mr Bloom Blush

Sookeh · 16/12/2011 21:57

And Yes to Simba from the lion king. I was still quite young when the movie came out and my Grandmother had to have a very awkward conversation with me about why humans couldn't marry lions Grin
