This is for those ladies who do not want to enter the rarified atmosphere of Drool, but have valid choices of their own for the Male Babe topic. Since mwn tend to whine and avoid anything sullied by female drooling, Here is where we enter our choices: 5.Denzel Washington (in Hunt for Red October) 4.Sean Connery 3.Harrison Ford 2.Laurence Olivier 1.Colin Firth

Drool runneth over still.

But it is not on the female topics...not all women are Drooleurs, after all, and some do not want to be. I am ambiDroolstrous, thus I am adding a few more to my list until someone else comes and posts something...besides a grouchy male who has more ladies of choice and has met more of the famous and gorgeous than is his allotment... 6. Alex Trebek

I can kill this topic if anyone finds it an irritant or irrelevant or just in the way...just say and it will vanish forever.

5. david duchovny 4. david duchovny 3. david duchovny 2. david duchovny 1. my husband *grin*

5.Colin Firth 4.*** 3.*** 2.*** 1.*** If we are being honest here. If I have to fill in the stars, you do not deserve to know.

Actually, I'm enjoying this...I didn't know I was grouchy...I guess my former rapier wit has dulled!

Unfortunately, I only get to meet the famous and gorgeous without being either myself. Once in awhile I'm lucky enough to get to party with them, if the party is in a hotel room. I cannot afford to dine or shop with them unless they want to eat at Burger King and shop at K-Mart. As for Tia Carrere, she was only 11, and I swear Officer Hemming, I never laid a hand on her!

Ahem...well, considering your good record up to this point...I'll let you go this time. At least you are not bowled over by some self-congratulating academic only to have this same high moralist pin you in a corner later and make obscene suggestions to you...!

No, you were not being grouchy...You do not get grouchy, do you? Don't ever remember your being so. But I did feel that you thought we were encroaching on all-male territory, and I know how you guys like to scratch and spit and make bodily function noises which women are not allowed to do...I just did not want you to feel uncomfortable, Dear!

LOL!...You may remember, Roseanne did all of the above when she murdered the national anthem about a decade ago,

How could I over-look this most eligible of Male Babes? (And these are no longer in order of preference or babe-worthiness... 7.Paul Terry Walhus, our estimable leader. (I have seen his picture, so I know.) Roseanne - You're right about that. Yeeesh!

All right Terry! You make it into the male babes site on a woman's mention! TNT is showing a Sam Elliott triple feature today. I wonder what any of the women here think of 'ol Cowboy Sam? I had a girlfriend in Honolulu over a decade ago who went weak-kneed over him.

8.Sam Elliott......I noted his picture on the front of the TV section of the Trebune-Herald and thought I should put him in here. He is so neat and laid back and has this incredible voice...!

The next two are on a whole nuther level... 9. John Burnett 10. Ray Lopez Both of whom make for a lot of hugging, I would imagine =)

I'm way beyond zaftig.

Sam does have an incredible voice. I was so happy that the Beef council hired him to do their TV voiceovers (long) after Robert Mitchum died. It's a no-brainer!

1. Anthony Hopkins 2. Billy Connely 3. Liam Neeson 4. Sean Connery (his voice gives me the shivers) 5. Antonio Banderas

i can only pick five?!?!? good call Ree-head with Liam Neeson... woo woo!

I think I have about 10 on my top 5 list...Who's counting, anyway?! Oh yeah...Liam Neeson...! I think I might also add my top "5" in the sexy "intellect" category (not just a hunk). That is a real turn-on for me!

I thought Liam Neeson was a great Jean Valjean in "Les Mis" (the NON musical!)

Indeed!

A most gorgeous specimen. Homo Sapahunk.

That may be the name of the species Hitler was going for with his WWII eugenics experiments.

... he was certainly going for something homogeneous but... well... he obviously had some catastrophic brain fart to go about it the way he did... or he was pure evil...

I'll take door number two, Monty...

I think those were Homo Sapihuns that were being created by the evil 3rd Reich

unbearable stuff

lest anyone get the wrong idea... Hitler, yes THAT one, has NOT been mentioned in the context of the title of this topic... something about babedom-status and committing human atrocities just doesn't seem to jive to well...

...mental scribbling...How did HE come up in the first place, she asked knowing full well... 00. Mike Griggs for that scrubbed Brit look which runs rampant through my family they way it does throught his. And that number is because I lost track of my numbering system. I should categorize them, most likely... *sigh*

Riette, is Billy Connelly an actor? What has he been in? Chris Noth Jimmy Smits Al Pacino Tom Hanks Jeff Goldblum Is this my final list? I reserve the right to make additions/deletions as others occur to me...

of course, changes can occur according to mood. did i forget liam neeson? loved him in everything i've seen (and les mis was great with him!). oooooh, jeff goldblum, what is it about tall guys that makes you wanna climb all the way to the top? christophe lambert (didn't forget the "r", it was written that way on some interview i read) ummmm, andy garcia, billy zane (all i've ever seen are bad guys, but he does voices for disney), the guy who played dracula, he was intense (oldman or something like that), matthew mccaugnahey (sorry for the sp), john malkovich, shall i stop now? the alpha male isn't tall but don't they say big things come in small packages?

Gary Oldman...also played Beethoven in "Immortal Beloved"...do any women find F. Murray Abraham sexy?

Yes....I do - I am an intellect-first person.

i don't know who he is. but the intellect factor works for me too, which is why dd is so hot!! (i am a smile first person, mannerisms (and that doesn't mean manners, either)

Wolf, you are my twin somewhere, for sure. DD is wonderful. F Murray Abraham plays character roles like Salieri in (sheesh...can't think of the name of the movie!) about Mozart a few years ago.

Abraham won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Salieri in "Amadeus." It is the only role most people remember him for, but he was also Noah in "Muppets in Space," Lot in "Noah's Ark," Al Capone in both "Dillinger and Capone" and "Baby Face Nelson," Abraham Lincoln in "Dream West," and Colonel Caleb Cobb in Larry McMurtry's "Dead Man's Walk." He is indeed a first-rate intellect, and maybe the finest screen actor most people never heard of or barely know. He has worked constantly for the past 30 y ars, but most people can only remember Salieri. A fine role, even if history has treated Salieri both unkindly and unfairly. Unfortunately, he'll never be as well known as DD or Sir Anthony Hopkins, but as an actor, he's Hopkins equal and DD's superior.

Thanks John - I know you'd come through for me. That's why I like you so much. You have intellect and charm.

Blush...

'Tis Saturday night - no one would notice...Do you really actually blush, John? Hmmmm....

With my ruddy complexion, who can tell? I guess the "Saturday night and no one would notice line" should go into my "lament" as you call it, in another conference!

remember amadeus....

Thought you might. I knew about FMA's other roles but did not think many people would remember them. I neglected to take into account John's encyclopedic knowledge (much better than my own) - but realized that on these Topics, with all of the brilliant minds wandering around, that would be taken care of for me.

(Oh, John - you are breaking my heart with post 42.) *BIG HUGS*

Did I omit Daniel Day Lewis?! Please replace Tom Hanks with him immediately.

Any gal fancy Johnny Depp? Load of women I know would rather go to a movie with him in it than anything else... ANYTHING! I JEST NOT!

saw him in Astronaut's Wife yesterday (thanks AW wolfie *GRIN*) yeah... yeah.. yeah...

Al Pacino, Jeff Goldblum!!!!! OH BABY!!! Johnny Depp????? Alexander!!! What women have you been asking? I mean, NO WAY. The guy is too pretty. Rugged, unpretty and unshaven - that's a MALE BABE. Autumn, Billy Connely is an incredibly crude Scottish comedian - rugged, unpretty and unshaven, with a voice like a crow. Just gorgeous. His famous joke is about the guy who committed all the mortal sins every day in a small town, and everyone knew about it. Sundays in church the priest would point a finger at him, and preach about the sinners who would go to hell, where their clothes would burn into their skin, their heads would be scorched in the fire, their whole bodies would be consumed in the fire, and still they would cry, 'I didn't know, I didn't know!' But this guy continued his wicked ways. So, one day he gets run over by a car, and dies. Sure enough he lands in hell, where his clothes were burning into his skin, his head being scorched in the fire, his whole body being consumed by it. He looked to God on the other side, and cried, 'I didn't know, I didn't know!!' And God said, 'Well you fu�king know now!!!' He did appear as an actor in Mrs. Brown, opposite Judy Dench though. I thought he was brilliant and mega-sexy.

isn't AW supposed to be a scary/horror flick? had heard that the 13th warrior (or whatever) with antonio banderas (another hot one) was really stupid. anyone been there yet? ddl-whoa baby, last of the mohicans!! *wolfie drool*

Oh yea...on the LOTM and ddl. whew!!! I adored Mrs Brown, and what a great-looking Babesicle that BC was in that movie. Funny story he tells, even if it is crude!

haven't seen mrs brown. is it available on video?

I am sure it is - we rented it when we saw it...

Billy Connelly also replaced Howard Hesseman as the teacher in the 1980s American TV (ABC) sitcom "Head of the Class." I think his role lasted for one year, but he was quite funny. He used to irritate the writers by ad-libbing better lines than they had written for him.

I can believe that!!!

I know who he is now--I saw him in that hilarious send-up The Impostors last week (on video). I could never drool over Edward Scissorhands. Gilbert Grape, maybe.

Sorry I missed that last week - perhaps they will show it again...hope...hope. uh...no. No Edward Scissorhands...yeesh!

I always look at the titles of sex films showing in the city, because they're so hilarious. One of the funniest ones I remember was 'Edward Penishands' - his condom must have fitted him like a glove!

*lol* I definitely lead a sheltered life. I never see movie titles like that. Is that where you got the inedible gray condom in foods that should not be?!

Favorite porn film titles: Fleshdance, Flesh Gordon, Jurassic Pork, Bright Lights, Big Titties, Rumpleforeskin, Saving Ryan's Privates, Willie Wanker, Blazing Paddles, Wankenstein, Big Dick Tracy. But I never see them either--just laugh at the titles.

I have a suspicion (having done a little research for my own edification)that the titles - and they are wonderful - are better than the movies themselves...at least, better than the acting!

What acting?

My favorite x-rated Christmas opera is The Messiah's Handel.

�guffaw�

[puts on host cap] I've got to say that this topic isn't really relevant in Babes. There is a whole Drool conference for this sort of thing (as most of us have discovered). Unless there are any genuine issues with this then I'll freeze this topic tomorrow.

NNNNNNOOOOOO!!! We don't wanna go to drool!! We wanna stay here with you!

Besides, we're not drooling. We're just . . . speculating.

Mike, there is a whole nuther feeling in Drool. I am a refugee from 3 years of it, and these ladies need this here...or you can move it to Geo or screwed or wherever... but not to Drool, I beg of you!

(Geez...didn't he see that I had him on my list? Is he upset that it is not nearer the top (which my list does not have except for the very first one with the ***'s on it for ...*smile*)

MIKE YOU ARE NUMBER ONE ON OUR LIST!!!!!! Don't freeze yerself - post us a photo instead!

are we liquid again??

YEAH!!!!!! (thanks Paul for the info!) come on girls... we're babe-ing the night away!

Thank you Stacey! Babe-ing at 6am is more difficult than I had imagined. My mind is blank, but that should come as no surprise!

My latest addition to my male babe list is Woody Allen; he's such a genius.

definitely some sex appeal going on there, I'd have to agree...

Funny you should mention him. I grew up with guys like him - nebbishes all, and found them fascinating to date and know. As to whether I could crawl into bed with one, that is entirely another subject. They have more hang-ups than a hat rack, and are almost always Mother-fixated...which does not ruin the fun it is knowing them....just knowing them that well!

nebbish??? from the context I think I could come up with a rambling definition... I've never heard that word before!

Glad to see you women back in business! Other famous nebbishes I can think of off the top of my head: Paul Simon (the singer, not the former senator), Michael Tucker (L.A. Law), Peter McNicol ("Biscuit" on Ally McBeal), and Droopy (yes, the cartoon dog).

More nebbishes: Gary Burghoff (Radar O'Reilly in *M*A*S*H), Dick Cavett, Mel Brooks (an even funnier nebbish than Woody Allen, and has had a stable marriage to senior citizen babe Anne Bancroft for decades). A locally famous only nebbish is Marcia's and my favorite sociology professor, Alton Okinaka. Gary Sinise is not a nebbish, but plays one well (George in Of Mice and Men). Lt. Dan Taylor (in Forrest Gump) proved the incredibly talented Mr. Sinise can play the "anti-nebbish" equally wel !

Dick Cavett can be on my Babes list anyday. I have been a fan of his for eons! Alton is Absolutely at the very tip top of my list. Any guy who has my creations hanging around his office has to be there! Is he the only PhD we can think of in the nebbish category?

Let me think. It would seem that the word nebbish was created for PhDs. Larry Heintz (UH-Hilo, philosophy) would certainly fit. David Hammes (economics). Certainly Alan Greenspan in his younger days.

Alan McNarie has nebbish looks and tendencies, but at 6'3" is too tall to be a true nebbish.

boy am i glad this topic is unfrozen. actually had a new babe to add to my list and now i can't remember who it was! not to worry, it'll come to me one of these days....

Me too...we NEEDED this...I had briefly considered Collecting/Male Babes and Geo/Gee..Oh...Male Babes but neither one seemed appropriate.

How about Frank? I think he is perfect !

Perfect for nebbish-hood, that is...

who's frank? (did i miss that somewhere while you guys were discussing woody? he's not on my babe list)

PhD's at UHHilo who qualified as lovable nebbishes...Frank is my ex, and I think a perfect candidate - shorter than I am, intellectual and dry humored but kindly to students - so kindly that one made off with him eventually!

*oooops* be back later! see ya *hugs*

Frank fits. Don't know why I didn't think of him.

...I was waiting to see if you would...I am sure he would be amazed to find this out, so we will let it be our little secret, huh?! *lol* I am not surprised to find that he is not on Wolfie's list!

I'll never tell...but I guess you did get in bed with a nebbish...nebbish-hood doesn't do it for everyone, I guess. For some, it's an acquired taste.

I guess I just did not acquire the taste, unfortunately... He is a very good friend, but that is quite as far as I am willing to go.

Geez...just don't tell David he son of a nebbish! How incredibly disappointing. Perhaps Frank has loosened up after this length of time and would be willing to try something beside the missionary...ALL the time!

Wolf, that one you wanted to mention, but forgot again was David! Is Frank the Frank from Millenium?? Marcia, I could defenitely sleep with Woody Allen, DEFENITELY. Except he'd be squished...

*LOL* see you guys later!

Oh... I could certainly develop the hots for Paul Simon... if I were to be that hottie-developing kinda girl...

Do you mean David-the-Geologist is going to make somebody's Babe list? He will be flattered out of his mind, and quite amused! (His pic is seen http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/public/read/porch/35.197 Frank is my ex...no fame other than being in American Men of Science (like Who's Who for scientists) as was my Dad (as was I - under children:3 in the latter case and married:yes in the former *smirk*)

You're going to have to post a picture of Frank then, aren't you?? I was talking about David Duchovny, actually, but David-the-Geologist will do fine for after-hours, thank you...

Hehe...
