Ask Abbi: Secret Crush?

Jerrell of jerellprice.blogspot.com asks:

Who were your celebrity crushes growing up? I will accept any answers including:

1. El DeBarge
2. The bongo player from the Miami Sound Machine
3. Dr. Dre (of YO! MTV Raps fame)?


Consulting my journals from age 6 and up, I notice I claim to have had relationships with the following male icons:

Mickey Mouse



Michael Jackson



Prince



Hulk Hogan



(You could fry potatoes on that man )

From age nine I start talking about real boys / heterosexuals / people not on steroids, and the stories get significantly less interesting. Why I chose to lie about who I was dating is beyond me. I guess I hoped someone would open my diary and be very impressed with my connections. If anything, I think it explains a lot about why I decided to be a comedian. Because I can lie all I want, and no one will ever know.

Feel free to post your questions for Abbi in the comments section, to be answered in a later post, or write curlycomedy (at) yahoo.com with "Ask Abbi" in the Subject.

I love Jerell Price! He's my blogpal.

He's your blog pal until he starts asking probing questions that make you look perverted to society.

That is so true. I lie all the time in my act. I used to be sarcastic as a kid, but people always believed me, and that was frustrating. I had to make the lies more fantastic so that they would realize it was all a big, not-necessarily-funny joke.

I've hopefully improved my delivery over time-- I find doing jazz hands during the punch-line really helps make it all sink in. There I go, lying once again.

Also, I was a big Hogan fan as a kid as well, and that's the truth.

You had a crush on Mickey Mouse? I guess women don't want a sense of humor.

Like Mo, I am shocked that you had a crush on something that isn't even human..... I mean Michael Jackson??

@ Soce: with big, not necessarily funny jokes, you're on your way to Vegas.

@ Mo: LOL, burn! I think I just liked aliteration. See Hulk Hogan...

@ Chris: Nice turn! Btw my message to Soce is a Danny Gans joke. You're welcome.

It only got perverted when you didn't mention Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
