Dirty Jobs

For those who can't get enough of Mike, he also posts quite a bit on the show's Discovery Channel Board. Go here for "Mike Rowe Central" and then click on "Message Boards" to get there. And yes, even his posts are funny and charming.

Thanks for that link, kostgard.

I read the live chat transcript, very interesting and funny.

Dammit, kostgard, after reading the Q & A and Board, I think my crush is now full-blown, critical mass, terminal velocity.

*crushes on Mike Rowe somewhere where tinyshoes will never see*

There's nothing embarassing about having a crush on Mike Rowe. He's hot! I even like the '70s porn chest hair he has. The show where he was in the tub at the end fueled many fantasies for me.

I saw him about a week ago on something on the History channel and he was in a suit and tie. He is so, so pretty.

I like him better when he's dirty. Hee!

BWAH! I have nothing to add, except that was NOT a description I was expecting. LOL. Hmm...this train of thought could go very wrong very quickly.

Just a reminder:

Q: I caught the horse artificial insemination episode the other night and had to laugh — why was the stallion's "member" blurred out? Also, for being such a sterile process, is it really a "dirty job"?
A: The fully engorged member of a grown-up horse is a truly shocking sight, and seeing it up close can have a traumatic and varied effect on the unprepared. On the day in question, when the horse first entered the barn, one of my cameramen became so distraught he let a very expensive camera slip from his grasp and fall to the floor. The other developed a facial tick that still troubles him to this day. My director wept openly at the sight, while the audio engineer collapsed in the corner and slipped into a fugue state. As for me, I confess to going a bit wobbly in the knees and feeling disoriented. Clearly, for the sake of the viewing public, the blurring had to be done.

As for the sterility/dirty issue, trust me — the inside of a horse, blurry or not, is a fairly dirty place.

After reading that Q & A, I'm sorry...you're all going to have to let me have him. I'm just trying to look out for my fellow Greecies. Um, think of the children?!?

[starskin]

Uh oh! Looks like we're gonna have a rumble in the forums!

You know what this means, right?

(Takes out the pointe shoes, the tap shoes, and the Argentinian tango shoes.)

We handle this in the proper Greecie manner.

A dance-off.
