I admit it! I wanted to be the Rebecca Romaine Lettuce to his Stamos Salad, but alas, his Uncle Jesse shtick was pure erection deflection material. He has done a lot of musical theater--Maybe he could warrant an entry on the QuOD someday! We can dream, can't we?

Lu Zerr, your comment reminded me of a clip I saw back around the time of the release of "X2: X-Men United", I think it was at the movie's London premiere. A reporter was talking to Rebecca Romijn and John Stamos and said that he asked Alan Cumming who he would "turn into" if he had the chameleon powers of Rebecca's Mystique character. Alan said he would turn into Rebecca. "Aww, how sweet" she says. But then the reporter told them Alan's reason: so he could "shag her husband"! John's reaction was priceless.

Thanks for reading!
