The List

Yep, you know what I'm talking about. The List. Imagine this...

You're out to dinner with your spouse/significant other. You're having a perfectly lovely time, enjoying each other's company, the food, the ambiance of the restaurant... When out of the corner of your eye, you see someone approaching your table. S/he looks down at at you and says, "Pardon me, but I can't help but notice how unbelievably attractive you are. You must come join me for dinner at my table."

Without a backward glance at your partner, you leap out of your chair to follow. And you know that when you arrive home, your partner can't say a word about it because this is part of the pact. You're allowed to ditch each other in a heartbeat if that certain someone comes along to sweep you off your feet.

Who's on your list?

Wow, I must be getting old or something because this was a surprisingly difficult question. I really had trouble thinking of people (I swear I'm not just saying that for Cindy!). Here's the best I could come up with, in no particular order:

- Fairuza Balk
- Salma Hayek
- Rachel Weisz
- Maria Bello
- Jeri Ryan

1. Crush from American Gladiators
2. Jenna Fischer
3. Jessica Biel
4. Jennifer Anniston
5. Alicia Keyes

PS. Whomever the admins are for this site, need to tell Kevin Crippen to stop trying to impersonate other people with his perverted answers, not even knowing what my actually sign in name was. Else I'll unfortunately just need to drop off the site (then you'll know any future posts are false)

3-Michael Jordan
4-Johnny Depp
5-Jeff Probst

If the boys at Mot are finished having their fun, can we get on with the task at hand?? We don't want to have to require accounts for this!

Thank you,
The Management

I am with T Pea. Everyone, please be respectful and post honestly (for yourself!) We love hearing what you have to say, but we have to trust it's really you saying it. Please don't ruin the fun for us (and everyone else) if we have to require accounts. Thanks so much :)

I can't think of five right now... so I am going to post 4 and then return if I think of my 5th. My card, like cindysabella's, isn't laminated just yet.

1.) Michael Vartan
2.) Patrick Dempsey (esp. if he's somehow magically in character as McDreamy)
3.) Matt Damon
4.) Anderson Cooper

Tara said...

I have to say, Kiefer beat out Anderson by a hair. If I can qualify, then Anderson Cooper in his Mole days would win. Oh, wait, didn't Kiefer have that whole DUI incident recently? Never mind, he's off. Anderson, please step up.

1) Lorraine Pilkington (from Monarch of the Glen)

My list is as follows:

1. Lenny Kravitz
2. Ethan Hawke
3. Josh Duhamel
4. John Corbett (only when his hair is short-Aiden on Sex In The City for those who don't know)
5. Christian Slater (Okay, my friend just told me that Christian is a wife beater, but he's still hot)

Tara said...

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about soap stars.... that changes everything. Someone's gotta go because Cameron Mathison needs a spot.

Can we extend our lists??

A Pea said...

Soap Star Only List (in honor of T Pea)

1.) Cameron Mathison (Ryan on AMC)
2.) Brandon Barash (Johnny on GH)
3.) Maurice Benard (Sonny on GH)
4.) Josh Duhon (Logan on GH)
5.) Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo on AMC)

Yes, I'm pathetic. :)

Is it sad that I tried to talk Andrew into naming our youngest "Ryan Lavery?"

Wait, don't answer that...

Anonymous said...

Wait a second....

Who's Ryan Lavery??? You told me you just liked the name!

Erin said...

I used to have an ironclad list of 5...but now I can't even remember who was on it! This is not some testament to my hubby (who is wondeful BTW), but more due to Mommy-brain.

Let's be honest, chances are that if I were out to dinner I would have drool on one shoulder, spit-up on the other, my shirt would be missing a button, my underwear would have holes in it (or at the very least not match my bra), I will have had two glasses of wine and be incredibly tipsy, and would simply look at the person on my list and laugh!

"Sex", I would say, "that's what got me into this mess in the first place! Now, if you are offering an incredible massage, that might be a different story. Hell, I would simply settle for you getting up in the middle of the night with my youngest! Can you do that?"

Come and find me in 10 years when my kids are older, I am in better shape, and am not dying for a good night's sleep. Maybe by then sex will sound fun again! :)

1. Taye Diggs
2. Josh Duhamel

5. Dylan McDermot

What happened to Jody??

kc said...

I thought this list was about dinner?

"Pardon me, but I can't help but notice how unbelievably attractive you are. You must come join me for dinner at my table."

We get to have sex with our list too? Sweet.

Tara said...

I was trying to keep this G-rated. Our mothers read this list, for cryin' out loud!

Anonymous said...

lboz,

Jodie went off the list during the (last) Clinton administration. Same with Sandra. I guess the list is more organic than I thought it was when I pledged my undying love to them in the 1990s...

Erin said...

Tpea - You are fooling yourself if you think your Mother's don't already have a list of their own!! :)

Eric Anders said...

In no particular order:

1. Amy Adams
2. Reese Witherspoon
3. Parminder Nagra
4. Alison Lohman
5. Natalie Portman

Yes. That list will do.

A Pea said...
