The Big Question: Shamelessly Stolen From a Badger Edition
Yeah, I’m not even pretending I didn’t steal this straight from my friend Barbara Justice (Hi Babs! Hi!) because I gave up shame the same year I gave up tapered jeans and I haven’t gone back since.
So today’s Big Question is:
Who’s on your List? You know, THE List.
Your five freebies, regardless of relationship status. They don’t need to talk or play for your team, but they do need to be alive and non-fictional.
Here’s mine, with a bonus because –while not technically hot– y’all KNOW no Plumcake list would be complete without The Most Exalted Potentate of My Pants, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
My 5 would have to be Trent Reznor, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Wahlberg, and Brandon Boyd. Most of these men are old enough to be my father, but I think everyone needs a Daddy ;)
Agreed on just about all fronts, Miss Plumcake… although I do suggest I sense a bit of a theme… :)
Mmmm… David Tennant.
I do have a bit of a type, don’t I? Blame Hugh Laurie! When I was but a wee bairn I caught a snippet of Jeeves and Wooster on PBS and was lost forever.
Oh, my, five? a handful of bliss…
ok, my list- Gael Garcia Bernal, Adrian Paul, Courtney Taylor, Taye Diggs, Ewan MacGregor. um um good!
from what I’ve seen of Ewan McGregor that’s more than a handful.
I too sense a theme in Plumcake’s picks.
Hm, well today’s list would have to be Daniel Craig, Colin Farrell, Shemar Moore, John Mayer, and Jason Taylor.
Mmmm, good.
Hugh Laurie… Mmmm!
Can I just count David Tennant five times? That’s perfectly fine for me. :)
*swoon*
Ok here goes nothing: John Stuart, Dr. Sanjay Gupta (of CNN, I have a thing for Indian men), mmm…I’ll have to take Hugh Laurie too, only because the rules prevented me from choosing Dr. Gregory House, this one guy I see on the subway every day, and for my last one I’m going to be generic and say Johnny Depp.
Back off! I claimed him when I was five!
Ohhh, good one Plum! My 3 men:
1. Trent Reznor, for sure. So dark, so mysterious, so angry. HOT.
2. Joe Thornton, centerman for the San Jose Sharks (an NHL team). I hear they call him “Big Joe” for a reason.
3. Oded Fehr. Aaaah, those lips!
Now, if I were to switch-hit:
4. Angelina Jolie. That one’s a no brainer.
5. The director of the Group-X program at my gym. Her name is Amelia and from what I’ve heard in passing discussions, EVERYONE (male and female) wants her. She’s smoking hot.
Wooo! That was fun! I feel like I need a cold shower now! ;)
The list changes periodically, but right now we’ve got Robert Downey Jr. (who quite literally makes me drool), Adrian Pasdar, Colin Firth, Blair Underwood and Naveen Andrews.
And my husband knows that if he ever gets a chance with Ali Larter, Rachel Bilson or Aishwarya Rai, he’s free to partake. But only if I can watch.
Wait a sec, Plum, where’s Lyle Lovett?!
I’d tell you, but his girlfriend would get jealous.
Hugh Laurie-check; Craig Ferguson-doublecheck; Daniel Craig, James Spader and Alan Rickman.
Yeah, there’s a bit of theme with mine too.
Definitely Hugh Laurie and Gabriel Byrne!! YUM!!!
First, Neil Gaiman becuase he is sexiness personified. Also Nigella Lawson, Penelope Cruz, Sarah Waters, and Salma Hayek. Hmm, that was freakishly easy.
1. Hayden Christensen
2. John Mayer
3. Eliza Dushku (She’s hot. So. Hot.)
4. Christian Bale
5. Anthony Hopkins – Old enough to be my grandfather, but that voice . . .
JayKay, I *heart* Oded Fehr. Could that man get any hotter?
Plumcake, I’m with you on Hugh Laurie, Liam Neeson (rowr!) and Hugh Jackman (can he wear the leather Wolverine outfit)? I’d add Chris Meloni (woof!) and Javier (HOTvier) Bardem.
Except that’s Craig Ferguson, not Hugh Jackman. D’oh!
Mariska Hargitay, Eliza Dushku, Elizabeth Rohm, John Barrowman, Adam Pascal, and Hugh Jackman. I don’t think my list has changed since 2005. ;D
Just 5? Then I have to go with Alan Rickman, Daniel Craig, Colin Firth, Craig Ferguson, and Glen Hansard… although I think we have similar taste in men, Phyllis, and James Spader would be a close 6th for me.
Viggo Mortensen makes my knees weak.
I’m very fond of the rest of the cast of Lord of the Rings, but Viggo is The Man.
Oh My- At the last Girls Weekend we played this game— OH MY FUN!!
My husband knows if any of the following ten show up at our door step needing to be “serviced” he best let me get down to business.
1: Keith Olbermann (laugh if you want- Sports and Politics- And Sexieness in a Suit! Yeah BABY)
2: Colin Firth
3: Denzel Washington
4: Prince Phillipe of Spain
5: Harrison Ford
6: Chase Utley (GO PHILLIES!)
7: Alan Rickman
8: The Really Hot Japanese Guy who is known as the Chairman on Iron Chef America
9: Robert Redford
10: Toby Keith
If I were to Switch Teams-
1: Angelina Jolie
2: Rachel Maddow
3: Mariska Hargitay
OK- I know that is way over the 5, but thats my list…
Yummy!!!!
Keith Olberman
Jerome “The Bus” Bettis
Anthony Bourdain
This beautiful very large very dark skinned man who sings opera at our dog park.
James Earl Jones
Give me a brain and a voice that purrs and I melt. Thats what sold me on my husband.
Vincent D’Onofrio
Robert Plant (shut up)
Daniel Day Lewis
Dominic West
This guy at that Starbucks
Ewan McGregor with a side of Hugh Jackman!
Now everyone is talking about the American economy and eclections, nice to read something different. Eugene
Roger Federer, Hugh Laurie, Daniel Craig, Colin Firth, Andy Murray………
Your theme is familiar :)
The Once and Always is Colin Firth. Then,
- David Tennant
- Hugh Laurie (“Jeeves and Wooster”, baby!)
- Joshua Jackson (since his “Mighty Ducks” days :))
- Anthony Andrews (NOT Edwards; “The Scarlet Pimpernel”)
Switch-Hit
- Lena Headey. Man, that woman is hot.
ALAN RICKMAN
Liam Neeson
Cillian Murphy
Tarkan (Turkish Pop star)
and…….
Katherine Moennig (Shane from The L Word, I defy you to watch that show and not feel confused about yourself)
*fans herself*
oh! and the whole cast of Torchwood…especially Owen…I think I have some animal attraction to haughty, sarcastic men
Christian Bale. Taye Diggs. Colin Firth. Djimon Honsou. Most any of the Dieux de Stade.
And as for switching teams, Jillian Michaels and possibly Mariska Hargitay.
1) Pierce Brosnan (from the days of Remington Steele,my all-time favorite show)
2) Colin Firth (an excellent Mr. Darcy subsitute, since I can’t have fictional characters.)
3 and 4) a tete-a-tete-a-tete with Huge Laurie and Rowan Adkinson. Afters we could amuse ourselves with quotations from Black Adder!
5) Alexander Siddig (of DS9) can play doctor with me anyday!
Okay, I’m sure this says wayyyy too much about me.
My list:
1: Anthony Stewart Head (my number one, now and forever, and I don’t care what nonsense he babbles as long as he does it in that voice that makes ‘pass the salt’ sound like he really means ‘allow me to ravish you repeatedly doing things too filthy for you to even imagine’ and I have a GOOOOOOOOOD imagination)
2: Avery Brooks (he smiles and my knees take a hike without the rest of me)
3: Paul Gross (I want to fill his belly button purely for the pleasure of cleaning it out again…and then I want him to quote Shakespeare at me)
4: David Bowie (still way too sexy for words, but plenty sexy for actions!)
5: Michael Shanks (I neeeeeed to nibble that pouty lower lip!)
6: Christopher Judge (I want to take a long, hot bubble bath in that man’s voice)
Yes, I know I took an extra. Plumcake has the Archbishop, and I have a Judge. So there.
Oh, and Susan C, Alexander Siddig was seriously considered for my list. I was just scared that Major Kira would come kick my ass if I chose him.
hmmm. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jack Black (we’d have so much fun! We’d make up songs and laugh!), whoever the guy is that plays Sawyer on Lost (which I just started watching a couple of weeks ago and am almost through season 3), Kate Winslet, aaannd…Philip Seymour Hoffman again.
You know, honestly, I don’t really even HAVE a list besides David Tennant. Mmm, David Tennant.
Not necessarily in this order:
-Oliver Platt
-Alec Baldwin
-Robbie Coltrane
-Philip Seymour Hoffman
-Kevin Smith
LOL, I started with a list of 15 and narrowed it down through a complicated points system–”does he have an accent?” “has he been in a good movie in the last year?” etc.
In no particular order….
Clive Owen (Disturbingly sexy in Shoot ‘em Up)
James Marsters (Hello! Season six of Buffy, anyone!?!)
Jensen Ackles (The best thing to come from the WB in…. ever)
Colin Firth (Does anyone else get shivers of delight just hearing that name?)
Mathew MacFadyen (Yeah, I’ll take my Mr. Darcy any way I can get him!)
Bonus Choice: Patrick Stewart (Yeah, old enough to be my whatever…. but that man could do things to you just with his voice that mere mortals can only dream of!)
Switch hit….
Angelina
Drew
*Whew.* That was FUN!!!
My five:
1. Christian Bale
2. Colin Firth
3. Ryan Gosling
4. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Ignore my response above, I hit submit too soon.
My five:
1. Christian Bale
2. Colin Firth
3. Ryan Gosling
4. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
5. Wentworth Miller/Clive Owen/Gerard Butler/TJ Holmes/Michael Cera (five is too few!)
If I were to switch teams:
Christina Hendricks (Joan from Mad Men, this woman is walking sex)
Christopher Eccleston. Still my favorite Dr. Who even though I do love David Tennant.
Stephen Fry. We could make pots of tea and read all day long.
Alan Rickman. Yeah, he’s 2 years younger than my mom, I don’t care.
Josh Homme. 6 foot 5 redhead, what’s not to love?
Aaron Douglas. Plays the Chief on Battlestar Galactica and smells very good from all reports.
My list:
Denzel Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Johnny Depp, Eric Bana, Gabriel Byrne…don’t think there’s a pattern here..
1) Christian Bale
2) Johnny Depp*
3) Christian Bale again (because hmmmm…Johnny/Christian sandwiiicchhh)
And currently that’s all I have, although the following people continue to vie for positions 4 and 5:
Every time I watch him on film I fall back into my crush on Colin Firth. And yes, I’d make him wear a cravat the whole time.
David Tennant tries to get in my pants every time he’s on screen. Its ridiculous. And I cannot help but stare at his hair erections.
And after seeing Eddie Izzard onstage LIVE. TWICE. Yes, I think he’s edging his way past Colin and gaining on David. That man is wrapped in not charisma like filet mignon is wrapped in bacon.
*My boyfriend and I have decided that if Johnny shows up at our door, we BOTH get to have him, because hey, its Johnny Depp. And if Johnny shows up and you’re alone, you have to try at least 3 times to reach the other person before getting it on, because its not fair to hog all the Johnny.
Man, I bet Colin Firth’s ears are just buzzing right about now, with all this unrequited lust being sent his way. I guess if that man ever decides to establish a harem, he just has to come visit here for his candidates!
And can I have a 6th, so that I can add Alan Rickman onto my list? A girlfriend of mine once had beers with him in a pub in Ireland. How she refrained from jumping him right there in the pub is beyond my imagination.
Oh heavens, I have to limit to five? We’ll cheat and do five of each.
Guys:
Vin Diesel
Wesley Snipes
Alan Rickman
Viggio Morgentstern (Best. Lucifer. Ever.)
David Bowie (Labryinth makes me whimper)
Gals:
Queen Latifah
Tina Turner (old enough to be my grandmother, but the legs! The voice!)
Angelina Jolie (but only if I can feed her a sandwich first)
Sigourney Weaver
Linda Hamilton
So many choices, so many choices…. :)
