So, a poll. Is there any female or male celebrity, besides Fabio, that you hate/dislike/disdain so much that you would never date a person (even if that person is really hot and you like them) just b/c they dated the hated celebrity?

This is not directly responsive, but reminds me of this loony-toons girl I knew in college who found it not-at-all-disturbing that she went on several dates with [wait for it...] Englebert Humperdink. Yes. You read that correctly.

Now, I may be old, but not that old. That dude was a geriatric when I was in college.

We did her a favor by giving her some sage advice, namely -- keep that what-you-thought-was-impressive-but-is-really-creepy fact under your hat, if you ever want to have a date.

So, while I wouldn't have touched this girl with a barge pole (she was very beautiful, but nuttier than ... uh, something really nutty), I think that were I a man, Englebert Humperdink would be an appropriate response for this poll.

Nobody comes to mind, but have you ever dated a non-celebrity who was so notoriously irritating to everyone in every social, professional, and academic circle with which she or he has been connected that you feared you might be shunned as a result?

I think there are so many permutations of possible answers to this on these boards that it should simply be dropped.

Players named as being given steroids (as opposed to say...having taken steroids) in the Balco case;
1 - Barry Bonds (and HGH)
2 - Jason Giambi
3 - Gary Sheffield
4 - Romo
5 - Marvin Bernard
6 - Benito Santiago
7 - Randy Velarde

So how bad would Marvin Bernard have sucked if he wasn't on the juice?

Well then, you'll enjoy this story about the guy who gamed the system on the show and won $110k by memorizing the board rotation patterns. http://gscentral.net/larsen.htm

Damn you, Larsen! Damn you straight to hell! [in Jon Stewart voice, fist raised to the sky.]

Good for him. And how apropos that I'm currently reading "Bringing Down The House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions". Summary: A handful of MIT students, under the tutelage of a blackjack guru, learn how to legally beat blackjack and Vegas utilizing just their brains and a complex communication method.

Can I just answer who I wouldn't want to date?

The above work. Add Ann Heche, that friggen loon. Oh and the Fairy Butch, cause she kind of scares me, but then again, she might be fun.

Is this a hint?

By irritating I was referring to personality, but I suppose the skin rashes would have the same effect.

Yikes, I had forgotten about that lunatic Anne Heche.

She was on Letterman last night. Still a loon, and newly afflicted with the Kathy Gifford every-story-I-tell-about-my-2-year-old-is- cute-even-to-a-late-night-audience syndrome.

She threw herself on the floor a couple of times and reenacted a tantrum. I think she likes having a kid because it gives her an excuse to throw herself on the floor and have a tantrum.

I think it means she's considering your offer.

DTB can take my spot for science if she wants. Science and Christianity are not mutually exclusive. I'm not one of the "Creation was in 7 24-hour days about 10,000 years ago" kind of wingnuts.

I am afraid I am unqualified for that spot. You see, I am an MD/PhD (PhD in nuclear physics, thank you very much), so I am familiar with this "science" thing you all are talking about. I just do this law gig for the laffs.

Do your business cards say "Dr. Dressed To Bill, Esq., PhD, MD"? Cause that would really torque me off. Seriously.

Oh for God's sake! That was years ago! Can't you just let bygones be bygones, already.

Hell, no!! What do you think I am? Some kind of RUBE? I don't have "Dr." at the front, as it would be superfluous to all those letters at the end of my name.

I'm sure you're relieved.
