My sister and I have the most random conversations sometimes. She came over on Sunday evening, and was keeping me company while the boys were in the bath tub, and for some reason we got on the topic of weird crushes. You know -- the ones where when you tell people about the crush, they sort of raise an eyebrow at you and go, “Really?” Those types of crushes. At the risk of you all raising a virtual eyebrow at me, here’s my list of weird crushes:
Tim Allen. This crush started during the Home Improvement years and was recently revived with the boys’ love of Toy Story and Tim’s new sitcom. Yep. I have a crush on Buzz Lightyear. I’m not exactly sure what it is about him that I find so attractive, but I think it’s a combination of how funny and manly he is.
Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen. Okay, I know this is bizarre, because I find Owen Wilson to be just okay-looking in general, but something about his voice talking for that car is just incredibly attractive to me. OMG SO WEIRD I HAVE A CRUSH ON A PIXAR CHARACTER.
Sig Hansen from Deadliest Catch. If I didn’t lose you on the whole McQueen thing, this is where I lost you, right? I mean, look at that man. Nothing about him is classically attractive. He has awful hair and his teeth aren’t so great. But. He’s really funny and charming in this tough, rugged Norwegian sort of way. I’m pretty sure that’s what attracts me. (And my best friend agrees with me on this one, so at least I'm not alone in my weirdness. That's why we're BFFs. She gets me.)
Cabot Rea. This one is really just for those of you who are local. Cabot is an anchor for a local news station and I’ve adored him since junior high, when he was just a beat reporter. I even met him once when he did Football Friday Night at our high school, and I have a great picture of the two of us. He’s looking at the ground, and I’m staring at him adoringly. I’m not even kidding. I’ll have to find that picture and share it with you.
Okay, your turn. Who do you have a weird crush on? (And why are three out of four of these men old enough to be my father? I should probably evaluate that.)

LMAO!!! These are all sorts of hilarious. I think my favorite is that you have a crush on a Pixar character.
Cabot Rey annoys me now, but I can see the attraction if you mute the TV ;)
I'll have to think harder about my weird crushes. I *know* I have some :)
If I were to have a wierd crush on a cartoon character, it would be Hammie the Squirrel from the movie Over the Hedge. He cracks me up but I can't stand Steve Carrel. Go figure that one out.
Now, here's a question. Who is your girl crush? Mine would have to Catherine Zeta Jones. She is just so beautiful and has a good voice too
Hahaha I love this post! I may do one of my own!
I can't believe you like Tim Allen! That IS a weird one. I always thought he was awful looking back on Home Improvement! Lol
Oh I totally understand the Tim Allen thing, and agree! I even kind of get the Lightening McQueen thing. I have never seen an entire episode of Deadliest Catch, just a few minutes here and there, so I don't know anything about that third guy.
My weird crush is not that weird - Alan Rickman. His voice is fabulous. I would just get him to read me things.
I just thought of another that's actually weird. On the dvd of The Crocodile Hunter movie (which I proudly own - owned before I had any children haha), there was a music video by the Baha Men. You know, the guys who did that obnoxious "Who Let the Dogs Out?" song. They sing "Crocodile Rock" for the movie. Anyway, I thought one of those guys was so cute I would watch the video repeatedly and dance around. I saw him in something else and he didn't look cute anymore. It was just in that one video.
You know I'm with you on the Tim Allen thing. I don't know why but I find him irresistable. (And now I'm blushing.)
Hmmm...who else. Oh! David Hyde Pierce (aka Frasier's brother). I have always had a crush on him. I actually saw him in a play in Chicago on my honeymoon, and he was as amazing as I thought he would be.
