I have no crush on JoCo, which is probably because I am so very, very, very old. It strikes me as odd, though, except for the fact that I kind of regard him like a George Plimpton figure, standing in the shadows of some bar or other — well, I don’t actually go to bars much, but maybe an inn or something — whispering “get creative! go and do your thing, whatever it is!”
There’s a collegial feel about it generally, but sometimes it feels as if he’s really nagging.
Is this my equivalent of the recurring JoCo dream appearances?

jinx – I second that. JoCo has been very inspiring to me in this respect.
And Jester J – if it’s wrong to have a man crush on JoCo, then I don’t want to be right.
Well by going on that urban dictionary definition i would surprised if anyone here doesn’t have a man crush on him.
Dunno about the definition of man crush – very heterocentric. We need an encompassing term for "person who I admire in a non-sexual way even though said person meets the requirements for sexual attraction"
@Sporksmith/jinx: So it's not just me then? Damn it, JoCo is definitely some kind of muse.Thank god he claims to be lazy. If the guy were constantly starting magazines and joining circuses and so on, he’d be insufferable!
@Borba- maybe some variation on androgynous or androgyny. Something to indicate an appeal to both sexes in a non-sexual admiring way.
Actually, that reminds me, speaking of being creative, *and* speaking of crushing everything…
About a week ago I started drawing \ doodling as a creative outlet. I’m terrible, but I’m trying not to get too hung up on the quality of the work right now, just enjoying it as a creative outlet. Well, the other night I drew my laptop, which happened to be in front of me, then I drew some tentacles, then I drew a squid to go with the tentacles, which happened to be by the laptop, so…
It has all kinds of problems, which I especially realized afterwards when I *looked* at a picture of a squid, but thought yinz might find it amusing anyhow 🙂
I love squid-crush! Sounds like a soft drink concentrate (“For suckers, by suckers. With suckers”)
And that just reminded me of a letter I saw in the paper this morning (be warned that bad puns are a prerequisite to reader letters of this genre…)
“I was very impressed and not a little jealous after reading your article about the mating habits of the octopus. It sounds like they have an absolutely kraken sex life while, on the other hand, I can’t remember the last time I had a kiss and a cuttle.”@Borba: Good guess!
