Crushes. Difficult one to answer without it sounding contrived. Once upon a time I went to college and studied art. Art led to Pop Art, to Warhol, and to Marilyn Monroe.

I got sucked in.

I read book after book about her, by the people that knew her, and the people she worked with.

So yes, Marilyn is probably my crush, and always will be.

“Who’s on Firth” is perhaps the greatest a) sex- or b) Colin Firth-related pun I have ever heard. Amazing.

Dudely food crush: Tyler from Tyler’s Ultimate. Drooooool.

Ira must be tired…he just got back from a week in Mexico with me! :)

I would like to go anywhere at all with Joselin – I did not know of him before but I am certain I should marry him and live happily ever after.

I would pass on Colin, but def agree with Hugh!!

YES YES YES on nearly all of these (especially Colin Firth and Hugh Laurie, SWOON), and especially the part where the crush in question is a) intelligent; b) hilarious; c) able to communicate beyond a 6th grade text-level; d) all of the above.

Brains are sexy.

Also sexy? Milo Ventimiglia. http://is.gd/4N7Bq

It’s definitely one of the best shows on radio. You should also check out Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me the NPR News Quiz. It’s hilarious and educational to boot. :)
