A few posts down a Very Important Question was posed. It was a question inspired by our own bess, who revealed in a comment that Floyd of the Muppets was her first crush.
Delightful. So delightful that I turned the question to all and got some exceedingly entertaining answers.
But then the conversation began to alight upon later pop culture paramours, and I knew it was time for the next post: Who did you fancy once you hit your teen years? Do tell.
Here are two of my favorite gentlemen from that time period.
Michael Palin. I'm a big Monty Python fan. No matter that I was born during the heyday of "Flying Circus" and had to discover the troupe's surreal humor years later; I was smitten, especially with Mr. Palin's erudite approach to comedy. That he's become a famous world-traveler, and writes the best diaries, is a bonus.
Art Malik. Mr. Malik starred in several BBC productions when I was a PBS-loving young teen, and a James Bond film, too. (Uh, yeah, I watched a lot of PBS as a teen, like, hours a day.) He remains one of my favorite actors and I always have to check out whatever he's in, because I just know it'll be smart.
I'm sure I can think of a few more -- hi, Jonathan Crombie and Andrew McCarthy! -- but I want to hear from you.
