One thing I really like about the television show "House, MD"

[xiphias]

. . . is that there is now, on American television, a male character who is cranky, in chronic pain, unshaven, haggard, walks with a cane, and is considered sexy.

Okay, I'm not as tall as Hugh Laurie, and I'm significantly heavier, but, still -- that's me on a bad day. . .

Yeah, he's pretty popular over at snarksexual.

So very, very sexy.

You just need to go a little more unshaven, and hone your sarcastic remarks to a fine art. ;)

Sounds like Ranj, except for the haggard part. :)

And the world knows I think he's sexy.

What I find most amusing about that show, is that up until now Hugh Laurie has been a complete goofball. Somewhere I've got a tape of Ric Mayall and Adrian Edmundson (from The Young Ones) interrupting a "Fry and Laurie" skit.

Did anyone ever suggest that you weren't sexy?

I would have thought it was axiomatic.
