The Latest of My Revolving Man Crushes…BUT I’M TOTALLY NOT GAY…NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT!

Look I voted against Prop 8, alright…or for it…or, wait, whichever way it was that was for allowing two dudes to get hitched is the way I voted.

When I lived in San Francisco I shared an apartment with two gay guys. I used several 6 foot tall bookshelves to create a faux wall and turned the dining room into a bedroom. It was the cheapest room in the apartment. So even though I’m about to profess my love for another man, and I once lived in the gayest city in the US with two gay guys, I’m still totally hetero…

Look, I impregnated my wife the one time we had non birth control related sex in like eight years.

So now that that’s settled…. My newest man crush is officially Demetri Martin. I’ve already mentioned that I thought Important Things was one of the best new shows around, but last night’s episode, particularly the following clip, was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a really long time.

Demetri Martin is now officially on the list of men who I would sleep with and still consider myself straight. No doubt he is overjoyed by this development. For those who are curious, the list is as follows:

    John Stewart
    Stephen Colbert
    Seth Rogen
    Kevin Smith
    Jason Statham
    Vinnie Jones
    Sean Bean
    Jack Black and/or Kyle Gass
    Russell Brand
    Michael Owen (who my wife would also totally make out with)
    Steven Gerrard

A few things become apparent with just a little bit of scrutiny. For the most part, looks are not essential. With the exception of Statham and Owen (and maybe Brand, depending on one’s own predilictions) the list doesn’t contain any “classically handsome” entrants. In fact, it appears that as far as men go, I’m a bit of a chubby chaser. Comic ability, obviously, is very important, and I do tend to like an English/British accent and football players (Vinnie Jones, by the way, played for Wales).

Did I mention that I got up at 4:30 this morning? Did I also mention that I only got four hours of sleep last night? Furthermore, have I mentioned that the son has been waking up every two damn hours at night for a week? I’m not blaming the blatant home-eroticism of this post on sleep deprivation, but I certainly do seem less likely to post something this overtly gay when I’m well rested…I’m just sayin’.

    I’ll trade you sleep schedules, and work shifts. 7am to midnight is the same thing, right?

    Granted, I do get weekends off, to well go into a coma.

    Can I server some more apathy towards the homo stuff. I don’t really care either way until one side bugs me, and then its F-U. I’m voting just to spite you. FYI, John Stewart for President!!!

    Wow. I’m impressed your mancrush is a list. I think the closest I ever got to a girlcrush was Cindy Brady but that was mostly because I liked her hair.

    i dont see how anyone could disagree with statham, i was hocked at the first scene of snatch.

    True C, my wife would also totally make out with Statham. Whenever I bring him up in some sort of “We should totally see Transporter 3″ way she always makes this noise like hot water is being poured on her.

    And, you know Kerri, why not a list? My mind tends to wander while at the bookmines and I have to let it occupy itself somehow.
