Gentlemen, The Line Stars Over Here

phelpsmjcover.jpg

It's embarrassing story time: During my sophomore year in college I had a teensy weensy crush on Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps that drove me to spend over $100 on all the MP paraphernalia I could find on eBay. Then I dragged my roommates into my obsession by making them accompany me to a swimming exhibition an hour away where we caught a small glimpse of Michael as he walked back to his bus. I wrote down my phone number to give to one of his handlers, but — can you believe it — I never heard from him. I finally moved on, but I have a bad feeling my problem may creep back now that it's Olympic season yet again and Men's Journal is putting out pictures like these.

    meep, don't knock Tiger Beat!

    I went through a phase where I pulled pics out of those magazines and had to put every single one on my wall. I changed them about monthly, but felt bad if I left anyone out. Even the ugly ones.

    And that phase was a couple months ago.

    Whoa. Soldiers of the same struggle, Whitney. I'm a … with.. SURPRISE, SURPRISE.. Cord Motherfuckin' Jefferson. I thought I should finally make that known.
    He likes the song "On The Low"!!!
    He's like Jim Goad… without all the racism and the dating of strippers and the violence… Like, Cord's cool. I guess I should have just said that.

    He's slightly not good looking in the face but hot damn, his body is amazing. And I totally feel superficial saying that.

    I've never shelled out $100 for paraphernalia but I would gladly pay that much just to lick his chest just once.

    Whitney - don't listen to these fools. They obviously don't know a sexy man when they see one.

    I have had a crush on this heart throb since the first olympics. Talk about having the full package–looks, skills, personality… Sign me UP!

    And PS. I agree with the SwimFan comment!
