I used to like watching Rick Bayless's "Mexico: One Plate At a Time" but
the last one we saw had a creepy intro. My wife and watched this
together and here's Rick in some bathrobe on his Chicago porch
reminiscing about the chorizo he had in Mexico. But he was gross, I
mean you could see his skinny hairy chest and his nipple as his robe
draped open. I mean the way he was talking about this food -- almost as
if he just got stoned, had sex and, afterwards, went on his porch to
think about his favorite after-sex-munchie - chorizo! The guy is smart
and a great cook -- but I find him to be real creepy lately.

Just like my son's pediatrician -- smart M.D., knows his shit, but as
creepy as Michael Jackson in an orphanage. Next time I will demand a
different doctor.

What? And risk getting a friggin invertebrate in a jacket and tie? I
guess you are not that concerned for your son's health.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

I disagree. I don't think gut feelings should be ignored. I mean
that in both ways, good or bad.

Ah, but now one must get into the semantics of what creepy is?

I'm really not sure what you mean. At any rate, someone is creepy
to me that I would not want examining me or kissing me or alone in an
elevator with me. Or examining my kid. Just a gut feeling that
something is not right. Everyone has those feelings, just depends
how you pay attention to them.

Heh, depends on the person and the person's judgement, IMO.
With some people, the only accurate gut feeling they get is
indigestion. <g>

Bayless, I've only ever seen him on the Burger King
commercial, so that's probably not the best sampling. I did think he
sounded... odd.

For some odd reason you reminded me of two guys I used to work with.
One was a genuine creep. The other was such a nice guy, I loved him.
My buddy F R E D Fred.

Well, the creepy guy always had a comment for the women in the group.
One particularly dumb one actually went out to check her car because
he told her her headlights were on. Hello, earth to Donna. Once,
I was walking down a hallway and he said in front of another male
coworker, Man, she is like Audrey Hepburn with a BOD! right in front
of me. Okay, creepy old man.

So, he'd look us all over, and here is the funny part. His eyes went
in two directions. You never knew which eye to look at. I'm sorry
right now for people who have that, but it is disconcerting. I say
this because F R E D Fred said, I think women think he's creepy
because they can't tell where he's looking.

Hello, Fred, he's creepy because he's creepy.

So of course it depends upon one's point of view (no pun intended).
However, just because someone gives me the creeps is validation enough
to me to stay away. I don't need anyone else to say if I'm right or
wrong. Funny, first time I saw Clinton I swear to you I though, ugh,
what a creep. Sleaze. Odd how his blue dressed girlfriend had a
nickname for him: Creep.

Hmm, I never realized that *** males (not happy men) were turned on by titties
and nipples

Wouldn't chorizo be a during-sex munchie for gays... just wondering.

Lately? I think he's always been a bit creepy! What's with that bizarre
delivery of his, talking to the audience in that wheedling affected voice?
I've heard him interviewed on the phone and he IS capable of talking just
like a normal human being, not like some grade school teacher addressing the
kids from the short bus.

But, I certainly can't fault his recipes. I made his mole once and it was
excellent.

Yeah, but his presentation skills are still way better than most, if not
all, of the other chefs who were profiled on the Great Chefs series. I
like him better than Jeremiah Tower, who brings new meaning to flat
delivery.

What, you didn't read the rest of my post where I praised him for things
other than his silly verbal delivery?

That is SOOOOOOOOO Funny!!!! (laughing!) I only saw notbob's
comment because of your reply, but it slayed me. Precisely why
his voice just grates my teeth.

What I find more creepy, is Emeril while he is murdering the Queen's
English, wiping his nose with the back of his hand during a demo.....

Actually I have met the guy a couple of times and he is quite
personable and completely down to Earth. I think a lot of what he
does on TV is schtick.

I didn't see that, but it's because I have always found him to be
creepy.

I didn't see the episode in question, but I've always thought
he'd seem less strange if he shaved that stuff under his lip.
The same with Mario. The one I think is really creepy is the
Naked Chef guy, Jamie. Ick, ick, ick.
