Okay, Ladies…
… many of you weighed in on my post about your inevitable crushes on Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez. And, just as I imagined, I was right: almost all of you were pitter-patter over homeboy and his PF Flyers.
So, I’m now taking it one step further.
Here’s my new premise: If you had a crush on Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez, then you also had a crush on these two mini-studs, here:
(1) Junior Floyd from Little Giants (every girl was obsessed with this cat. Admit it: you were so into him you didn’t want Icebox to have him because you wanted him for yourself), and
(2) Jonathan Taylor Thomas (long before girls panted over “JT”, they panted for “JTT”. This kid was such a little rockstar that very few people even remember his Tool Time character’s name: Randy Taylor).
So here’s my new question, ladies of the late 80s/early 90s… Who was the most crush worthy character of your formitive years:
1) Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez
2) Junior Floyd
3) Randy Taylor
My money is still on Benny The Jet, but I got a hunch this one could go in any direction…
Totally JTT.
Hmmm, I will admit I had mad crushes on all of these guys throughout my childhood. It’s really a toss up between Devon (Junior Floyd) and Jonathan (Randy Taylor).
JTT had the naive cute little boy charm to him while Devon had the somewhat bad boy thing going for him.
Benny the Jet really was only a one movie-fling as he never really did anything after The Sandlot, so his crush-worthy-ness was fleeting.
Bottom line, I think it’s a tie for me. Devon and JTT are equal.
(though my #1 crush Brad Renfro far surpassed JTT, Devon, and Mike (Benny the Jet) combined.)
ok, guess I AM too old,,,need a poll from the 70′s! LOL!!
