Now it was pointed out to me yesterday that my beloved Rick Mercer is in fact gay. The assumption was, of course, that I would stop fantasizing about him, since I'm female. However, I think that's just silly! I mean really....how many of us fantasize about some celebrity...and how many of us actually get to fulfill those fantasies? So, since I really have no chance of a wild fling with Rick Mercer in the first place, why should his sexual orientation matter?

On with the vivid imaginings of lurid affairs with Rick Mercer!

Um... OK?

Um... OK?
If you knew him...you'd lust too:)

Not really, love, I'm a dude. I have to lust after Chasey Lane.

If you knew him...you'd lust too:)

Who is he?

Who is he?
He's as Canadian as it gets.

Rick Mercer is gay? Who knew? In fact, how do they know?

I love the guy, I think he's great, but I can't honestly say I've ever lusted after him.

He's as Canadian as it gets.
mmmmmmmmm.....

You may know him from his "Talking to Americans" infamy...some people hate him for that, buy damn I think it's funny...

He admitted it in an interview, but said he isn't really super-open about it because it's 'not Canadian' to know too much about our celebrities...which is actually true.

He's as Canadian as it gets.
As Canadian as back bacon and maple syrup beans....really, really cute and funny back bacon and maple syrup beans....

I've heard of Ron Mercer and James Mercer but no Rick Mercer.

And I wouldn't put to much stock in this, Sinuhue lusts after everyone. ;)

The website for Rick Mercer's latest TV show: Monday Report.

For you Americans, it is probably easiest to describe Rick as Canada's Jon Stewart.

If you look at nothing else, you absolutely must watch Pierre Burton's Celebrity Tip: How to Roll a Joint. It's priceless.

HEY! Just because it's true doesn't mean this particular lust is no less valid....it doesn't make my lust for you any less important..... :p

Phew! I was starting to get a little jealous there. I mean how can I compete with a Canadian Jon Stewart?

You realise that my lust is focused on my mental image of you as a fifty-something Dutch man with a thick accent, beard and scholarly air though, right?

Yeah, I have weird crushes...I would also choose for my sugar daddy:

David Suzuki
Noam Chomsky (I know...how terribly typical of me...I don't worship at the altar of Noam though, I just want him for his body:)
A University prof with a deformed ear, who was absolutely brilliant and quirky and about 20 years my senior.

I don't intentionally go for older guys...I just tend to really like wit, intelligence or political bad-asses...

After all, I married this archetype...and he's only 5 years older than me! Yay!

Well, I suppose that, if I ever deserved a title, it would be "Political Badass."

Sinuhue could fantasize that she turned him straight.

Well, my fantasy Rick Mercer must be willing to experiment with heterosexuality, I suppose:). But since I actually have a pretty clean mind, I don't really picture any sexual acts...the majority of my fantasies involve Rick saying, "Wow, you're really cool, Sinuhue!"

*sighs in contemplation...*

Sinuhue could fantasize that she turned him straight.
Na...I would never aspire to such a pointless act...a person's sexuality is their own business. Maybe he's open minded....

Maybe he would see how totally rad cool you are and realized that he liked women, too. It would be totally his choice and there would be no ethical dilemma.

I like that...but I think I'd get off on him just saying I was cool, even if he didn't like women...

I know, I'm sick. So sue me!

Who cares Oo? There are cuter/better guys in the world...to bad they're straight...;_;

1,000,000,000 uber cool points for using Chasey Lane!!!
"Dear Chasey Lane, I wrote to explain, I'm your biggest fan. I just wanted to ask, could I eat your ass, write back as soon as you can. You've had a lot of dick, had a lot of dick. I've had a lot of time, had a lot of time. You've had a lot of dick, Chasey, but you ain't had mine."
Three cheers for teh Bloodhound Gang!

Shh! If the queers heard you say that they'd kill you for suggesting that homosexuality is a choice! They prefer to call it a mental defect, or genetic trait, or some other such thing. Anything but choice!

I'm not saying that it is a choice, just that sexuality is subjective, and that, upon meeting the right girl, a homosexual male might find her attractive.

Maybe you just haven't met the right man, yet. Have you considered that?

Shh! If the straights heard you say that they'd kill you for suggesting that heterosexuality is a choice! They prefer to call it a mental defect, or genetic trait, or some other such thing. Anything but choice!

Change the words and it just gets funnier!
