I thought I was the only weirdo to have a crush on a non-human! And Russ Abbot! Bobby Ball had a look in as well. 
My first one was Ernie from Sesame Street. I hated Bert, with his stupid, cruel frankfurter shaped face. I didn't like sesame Street either, just suffered it to get a glimpse of Ernie.
Gary Numan at age 6. I also had a simultaneous crush on my primary school teacher, Mr. Summers. One day we had to bring in one of our favourite things. I brought in a poster of The Numan. Summers said he "looked short". Summers got struck off my crush-list that day. Ironically, he was a teeny tiny man himself, and liked to point out that he was "taller than 1.5 metres, making me the tallest one in the room," to a class of 6 year olds.
