Hot Nerd Crush: Amy Acker and Mike Rowe
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
DAMN! She can play with my dolls anyday! I mean action figures! I don't have any dolls.
Ah, the crushes! Sure, sure, I like them all. If they contribute to nerdicy, they will be featured here sooner or later. And, we have two great ones here this week. One was found as a dirty nerd, and the other makes a living hosting a show where he’s just plain dirty. There’s something about them both, and beyond the hotness. Let’s take a look at Mike Rowe and Amy Acker after the jump.
Amy Acker turned my head when I first saw her in Angel as Winifred Burkle. Angel found her after she’d been living in a cave for years. The show already had a sexy nerd in it. (See Hot Nerd Mancrush #1: Alexis Denisof) But, now it had a sexy GIRL nerd in it! And she brought the nerd and the sex with a thunder! Lord, is that woman the hotness! She had an essential part in the vastly underappreciated show Drive as main character Alex Tully’s kidnapped wife, and of course, she’s been tending to the needs of the dolls as Dr. Saunders in Dollhouse. Speaking of Whiskey, she makes me wish I had one now. The doll, not the drink. Makes one want to get down a dirty. Speaking of which…
I bet James Bond couldn't shovel shit and make it look this good.
Mike Rowe works as a voiceover narrator on Discovery channel for several of its shows, including the guilty pleasure show of mine Deadliest Catch. Then again, he has his own show to manage. Dirty Jobs is one of the most entertaining hours on television, and not simply because it’s so disgusting. Mike Rowe takes all the dirt, grease…and, well…shit, and makes it interesting and amusing. There’s something about the overly muscled, baritone voiced Rowe flailing about trying to accomplish the toughest, nastiest jobs that other people make look easy. In research, I’ve come across some question regarding his sexuality. Frankly, I don’t give a shit where he parks his boat, but it did lead to one of the funniest quotes I’ve seen in a long time. To paraphrase “Mike Rowe looks like the kind of guy that would pound a dude in the ass, and then share a beer with him later.” Beats me if it’s true, but it might change the way you look at the big guy. For me, I’m just happy he’s getting dirty so that the rest of us don’t have to. Cheers, Mike Rowe.
