No seriously, I want to marry Mike Rowe.

How often do you turn on the Discovery Channel and see the man you're going to marry? Not that often, my friends. Not that often. And I'm not talking about The Deadliest Catch. Sure there's an age difference. Sure he hosts a show on the Discovery Channel and lives in San Francisco. Sure he probably has a Swedish neurosurgeon girlfriend. Sure the odds we will ever meet are slim to none.

Sometimes you just know. And when I'm eating Kashi 'Good Friends' cereal in the morning and watching Mike get seasick on a shrimp boat in the Louisiana bayou, I know he's the one for me. I love his deep, deadpan voice. His barrel chest. His craggy handsomeness. Those forehead wrinkles! His humor. The fact that he looks like he could fix anything in my house. So what if he can't fix my dripping kitchen sink. He looks like he can. Good enough for me!

Hi Kate, great post! I don't know if the odds of him having a Swedish neurosurgeon girlfriend are very high though, haha.

Since you're such a big fan, I wanted to give you a heads up... there's a new Dirty Jobs special airing soon. It's part of Shark Week 2008 and will air on Tuesday, July 29th, at 9PM. You can take a look at the website:

I hope you don't mind me commenting like this... I figure you'd want to know about it. Feel free to contact me if you want more info. Have a great day, and good luck with "catching" Mike Rowe!

Thanks Shawn! I don't have a TV at the moment (I know, I'm a bad American) but I will definitely look for that online. Sharks and Mike Rowe...what more could a girl want?
