Johnny Depp

Want to know what it means to have a really secure, I-know-she-loves me husband?

It means receiving a framed, black-and-white photograph of Johnny Depp in the movie Chocolat from Eric for Christmas.

Yep. And it's hanging on my wall already.

To clarify, it's not just about this forty-something woman ogling over a movie star. I don't "ogle." Eric and I collect photos from our favorite movies and display them on our family room wall. It's part of our "this is our special hang-out" decor, and it includes characters from Pride and Prejudice, Room With a View, and the entire cast of Stark Trek: The Next Generation.

And now, Johnny's up there, too.

Yes, I adore him -- he's a terrific actor (there's nothing like a pretty-boy who can't act, agreed?). And we all know that Jack Sparrow is my favorite character in the history of the silver screen.

And, okay, I've got a Pirates of the Caribbean cereal box sitting here on my desk.

But Eric knows all this. And he loves me. And he bought me the photograph because he knew it would send me into ecstatic exclamations.

Isn't he a cool guy?

I just hope he doesn't expect me to find him a photograph of Jenny Funnell. I don't think I can go there.

Something about perky breasts and all that.

I think I'll go downstairs and dust my photographs...

Yes, Yes...The women may think that Johnny Depp is an "terrific pretty-boy actor"...but as a man I have to say...he is kinda cool. Jack Sparrow definitely is the man.

Get him a picture of Chris Farley and say he has perky man-boobs

Dave,

I never thought about that. Although, I will stick with Jenny. I doubt I will get a black and white framed pic of her though. :)
