I was 12, infatuated and now totally ashamed of myself... oy vey.

[KillerMuffin]

Ever have one of those crushes you just couldn't do anything with? You see the object of your crush and your rational mind says eewwwwwie how revolting but your heart speeds up and nerves hum and those traitorous hormones start pourin out of every ductless gland you own.

I have, this is my story.

I was 12 and blithely watching television in the family room when suddenly He appeared on the screen. My mother said OooOOoOOooo, which is an immediate black mark in my book. My little preadolescent body started doing some awfully weird things and I could not make myself look away. Was I sick? Demented? Yes, indeed I was. I never missed an episode. I even chose to watch Him over my more acceptable object of lust, the General Lee of Dukes of Hazzard fame.

I secretly lusted after Officer Poncherelli for years. Now, when I see Erik Estrada on the cheesy late night commercials, my insides curl up much like salt poured on a slug. I am so ashamed of myself.

eh?

 

[*Eve*]

Well, I think I may have hit a low, lower than yo KM. I use to think that Epstein from Welcome back Kotter was pretty cute. You can't get any lower than that.

 

[Never]

What are these shows? Who are these people?
Why does it make you ashamed?

 

[KillerMuffin]

Epstein was kinda cute. In that cheesy late 70s kinda way. Ponch from CHiPs has to be the lowest of the low, other than maybe Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies... hmmm

 

[Bliss]

HEH! HEH! HEH! HEH!

LOL! At least it wasn't Horshack!

Nev, sweetness, tune into Nick at Nite and watch our embarassment. KM's crush was the star of CHiPs (I blame them for all the idiots on the Internet wHo tHiNk It'S cOoL to write like that) and *Eve*'s sweetie was on Welcome Back Kotter, like she said.

Me, I was in love with Shaun Cassidy as Joe Hardy.

"Sometimes I thank God,
For unanswered prayers,
Remember when you're talking,
To the Man upstairs,
Just because He doesn't answer,
Doesn't mean He don't care,
Some of God's greatest gifts,
Are unanswered prayers..."

Very cute, smartass.

Were it that I went somewhere, I would be getting tapes from all four seasons of Spin City and a few newsreels, so you could know that Alex P. grew up and reality bites.

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

yes killer muffin i know how you feel, i just watched a tape of the girl of my dreams get married yesterday to someone other than me.

Ummmm... Bob, I think the point of her post is that now when she looks back at the guy she lusted over as an adolescent, she's really embarrassed.

And people call you slow.

 

[Skitten]

Ponch from chips did it for me a hot man on a bike . whoo
*fanning myself* he was a hottie in his time. I do remember that.

 

[Rosebud]

I THINK I WAS LOWER THAN ALL OF YOU GUYS

When I was in my early to mid 30's (during the last decade), I used to stare at a couple of Nickolodeon children game shows just to see these 2 cute & fine girls on there. My only defense is that they both looked to be in their late teens. One was a cute white girl with an awesome smile and beautiful blue eyes named Kathy. The other was a cute black girl named Wendy. Wendy had a lovely smile and big brown eyes. I was hypnotized when there appeared on TV.

 

[Never]

Well, I had a crush on Sophia from the Golden Girls once. I'm not ashamed though at least she was better than some of the cartoon charaters I went for in my early years.

 

[Endlessly]

Let's see, many of you know about my crush on Doogie Howser MD, which sickeningly raised its ugly head when I felt my heartbeat increase as I realized his presence in Starship Troopers. I was watching it on the big screen, and my date could not stop laughing when I told him I used to have a crush on him. (Damn you Laurel for telling me he's gay!)

Other crushes I'm ashamed of include Raphael of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fame (Oi, that one wasn't even HUMAN), and my first crush was Jesus when I watched the movie Godspell at about the age of seven.

Man, I'm one sick chica.

 

[Xander]

I was 7, stupid and didn't know better.

Daisy Duck...........

 

[Expertise]

Doogie Howser is gay! Imagine that.

Farrah Fawcett Majors for me. I even had the damn pillow.

 

[Gaucho]

Mine was Hayley Mills, around the time of the "Moonspinners" and "In Search of the Castaways".

And you know what? I don't feel bad about it. Not one bit.

Hubba-hubba, heh, heh, heh.

And So It Goes

When I was a kid, I was hooked on NBC's Weekend News with Linda Ellerbee. I just thought she was smart, funny, and good looking. I got to my teens and grew out of it.

Now that I am much older, I realize that I had good taste all along. She was great.

 

[Siren]

OKay so I was a true teeniebopper
