That's you, next to last, I figure, OES.

There are no "Mr. Rights". Only Mr. Not Wrongs.

I've found mine.
One thing I know is that with all those pix you will now grace the most viewed column, no matter what.

I believe you just described me, Kathy, he said modestly.

Interesting. Sean Connery is a known wife beater. Several of the others are philanderers. Linus is a cartoon. Santa (I'm sorry to break this to you) is as real as Tinkerbell. Tim Gunn is bitchier than Bette Davis. Pierce Brosnan is prettier than all of us (never, ever date a man prettier than you).

Can I just take Colin Firth and leave it at that?

My, my, my, my, my. Did I say, "my"?

You need a woman's opinion on that one. What is really interesting is that none of these men is good enough to standalone.

Rated.

He has Donald Trump's hair, Mickey Rooney's heighth, and Milton Berle's *length* (or so the rumors go). And of course "he" is deaf, blind, and owns a liquor store! Now you're talking! ~R~

Ya know, I was just googling "What hath Thomas Crown to do with Peanuts?" and it led me straight here, Kathy! Thanks for clearing that up. Fun post!

You forgot the mellifluous voice of Benjamin Netanyahu (without his politics). His voice had made me stop and stand still for 30 years.

O'Really?

November 03, 2009 08:22 AM

Good voice choice, O'Really. Ditto the gentle crooning and vocal control of a Mel Torme. I thought about adding the dry wit of a John Cusack, and the artistry of a Tony Bennett. You're right; I'm pondering Benjamin Netanyahu's voice now. . .

Ah yes, don't forget the dry wit of John Cusack...he's a fav of mine.

What about the adventure of a Harrison Ford? Or, more succinctly, Indiana Jones. I like me some adventure.
