Your Top 5 Male Babes: Who does it for you ?

~mrchips Thu, Oct 14, 1999 (19:48) #201

Reed and Jay are nice guys, but I'm not impressed with their photography. But you're right...they're it in Hilo now that Roy has retired. They could have never done that portrait. I always come out looking flabby with a deer-in-the headlights stare in their studio.

~Irishprincess Thu, Oct 14, 1999 (19:52) #202

Really? What authors do you read? I got on an Elizabeth Chadwick kick over the summer, because I find the Middle Ages so interesting. I also like reading about Eleanor of Aquitaine (Ellen Jones' "Beloved Enemy" is quite good,) and I devour anything about King Arthur.

~MarciaH Thu, Oct 14, 1999 (20:07) #203

I usually perfer Thomas Costain type books and have replaced Mitchener and Tolkien as favs for Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy plus the ones which followed...plus I got lost for a while in Aruthuriana with The Mists of Avalon and NOrma Lorre Goodrich's books on the central characters - all excellent and good reads. I also do a lot of archaeological reading - both journals and dig texts. If the Library of Alexandria did not go to heaven when it died, I don't want to go, either (says here now that I am not lose to going!)

~Irishprincess Thu, Oct 14, 1999 (20:12) #204

All of my friends have copies of "The Mists of Avalon" with the covers taped on because they've fallen off from being read so much!

~MarciaH Thu, Oct 14, 1999 (20:43) #205

I guess I fit right in with all of your friends because mine looks like that, as well. We'd better move this to another place like screwed again, so we can let the other ladies get back ont topic and admiration of worthy gentlemen...*sigh*

~wolf Thu, Oct 14, 1999 (21:59) #206

ok, *ahem* may i say that i actually saw a real-life babe guy today? i was bagging groceries (it's something my squadron does once a month) and he came through my line. but wouldn't you know, somebody else had my attention once i bagged up his stuff? we shared eye contact though. i looked at him and thought, i can't wait to get back to spring where i can tell everyone and he looked at me like, man, i hope she doesn't put my three items in a big paper bag!

~Irishprincess Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (11:15) #207

Don't you hate that? I hate it when I unexpectedly see a guy I haven't seen in ages, because it never fails that I have on no makeup, my hair is a disaster, I have on some old sloppy clothes, or something like that.

~aschuth Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (11:19) #208

hehe, so now it's Dave D Dave D Dave D Alpha Male 3-Items-Shopper for you?

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (14:53) #209

Amy - guaranteed about how you look when seeing a guy you fantasized about - in my fantasies I am killer attired and coifed...in reality it is probably just as you say...alas! Alexander, Aloha! Do you really think that is the order in which Wolfie would put them?! You forgot Bert, who daily tells her that he loves her...*smile*

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (14:55) #210

And...not on - topic...Stacey is now Mrs Tinianov and honeymooning in Greece! Much Aloha, Stacey and Brandon!!!

~aschuth Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (16:29) #211

Bert? What have I missed here? Are Mr and Mrs Tianov passing through Frankfurt Airport (once more)?

~Irishprincess Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (17:11) #212

Yes, it is true. I had a huge crush on a guy 10 years older than me when I was 13, and I babysat for him until I was about 16, and then didn't see him again until I was 19 or 20. And when I did see him, I was at the grocery store without a bit of makeup on, I was grubby because I'd been cleaning house, and my hair was in a ratty ponytail. He looked impeccable, as always. I should have just dropped my cauliflower and ran away, but we did end up having a very nice conversation.

~wolf Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (17:23) #213

did any part of that conversation include "i don't usually look this way..."?? alex, my list has been much edited so now it's: 1. Bert 2. David D. 3. Arnold Vosloo 4. Harry Connick Jr. 5. AM

~wolf Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (17:24) #214

oh, and congratulations to Stacey and Brandon!

~wolf Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (17:24) #215

oh and 6. 3 item dude

~wolf Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (17:26) #216

i might have to change around numbers 5 and 6 since AM would wonder if i was gonna put the milk on top of the eggs, not what kind of bag he would get! *grin* (see, he thinks this wolfie is airheadish and cannot think for herself sometimes)

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (17:43) #217

"I don't usually look this way" is the first thing out of our mouths after "Oh! Hi...*gasp*" My musical chairs positions on the Babes lists is due to current conditions...with one always at the top, of course...and one hanging off the bottom - no matter how far down I shove him...*smirk* Amy, I had a crush on a guy for whom I was babysitting his younger siblings and his parents did not trust him with them yet...They should not have trusted him with me...He was three years younger than I and much more developed than most guys his age with an appetite to match... But there was nothing done, "really"...not as they do in the 90's...! *sigh*

~wolf Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (19:59) #218

k, here's a topic just for us to discuss literature: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/respond/books/22

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 15, 1999 (20:52) #219

...or if you prefer yours Arthurian: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/books/23/new

~wolf Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (20:11) #220

ok, ladies, i'm watching another show that arnold vosloo starred in: diary of a serial killer. he's got hair in this one and even though he's playing a bad guy, that man is fine!

~wolf Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (20:16) #221

here's a link: http://www.arnold_vosloo.amazed.com/main.html

~wolf Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (20:38) #222

oh, and a pic from the mummy. this would be of imhotep (vosloo) and the pharoah's mistress. http://www.elkhound.demon.co.uk/pictures/anck/plotting.jpg

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (20:55) #223

Because you are dear and precious, I am looking at a serial killer with hair... Great eyes! Thanks for the link and their links!

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (20:59) #224

You slipped the Imhotep in under my last post. I know you are hooked on this man because you actually spelled his character's name correctly this time!

~wolf Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:00) #225

*squealing with delight*

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:15) #226

*lol* (pulling up my bobby sox and fluffing out my poodle skirt to join you...)

~wolf Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:23) #227

you know, the man IS happily married and has only been a citizen of the U.S. since 1988. he'll be in The Mummy II coming out next year as THE MUMMY! he doesn't have much of an internet following as some other actors do. probably because of his aptitude at playing bad guys. but, the mummy wasn't about that. it was a love story and he was the cursed romeo. he's been in darkman, red shoe diaries, protegy, and a whole bunch of other films that didn't gain the hype that he most certainly deserves. out of he two movies i've seen so far (mummy and diary of a serial killer), the mummy is my fave. (you'd never guess that though)

~wolf Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:25) #228

well, i must say, all this drooling, er, babe observing has worn this wolfie out. i'll see y'all later *hugs* (and thanks for putting up with my obsession)

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:40) #229

My pleasure - he is a Colin Firth type...you really have to hunt for his devotees at firthst but when you do find them...watch out for the Drool. It gets really deep really fast! Any time you need a sister to drool with , here I am! *hugs*

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:41) #230

Your obsession?! You'll never (not much *lol*) guess whose Babe topic I really wanted to open, but thought better of it...*sigh*

~Irishprincess Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:47) #231

I know who I'd like to make a topic about, but I'm afraid I'd end up talking all by my lonesome!

~MarciaH Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (21:54) #232

Unfortunately I would not, and might spill over into email and sordid episodes. Hey, I would not let you drool all by your lonesome...!

~Irishprincess Tue, Nov 9, 1999 (22:14) #233

You're a gal's best friend, Marcia!

~riette Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (05:06) #234

I like his eyes alot - really nice eyes. Very attractive male that one.

~wolf Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (18:44) #235

which one? amy, you'd be surprised. who is it? do tell!! *on pins and needles*

~MarciaH Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (19:46) #236

...a personal acquaintance of Amy's, no?! (A rather delicate situation, dontcha know...)

~wolf Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (20:58) #237

gotcha!

~alyeska Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (21:43) #238

1 Colin Firth 2 Mel Gibson 3 Robert Duvaul (sp) 4 Tommy Lee Jones 5 Sean Connery I loved Robert D. and Tommy L.J in Lonesome Dove. Sean Connery is great in anything as is C.F.

~alyeska Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (21:45) #239

Not only is Robert Duvaul a great actor but ohhh mama can he tango.

~wolf Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (21:56) #240

he can tango? are we talking the same rd? i'd chalk up tlj as a babe but rd? hmmm........

~MarciaH Wed, Nov 10, 1999 (22:04) #241

*lol* Lucie...Colin Firth is firthst on your list?! Imagine that!

~alyeska Thu, Nov 11, 1999 (14:08) #242

Of course he firthst. Yes Robert Duval can tango up a storm. He was on Oprah one day not too long a go and did the tango with a young Latin beauty. Believe me he put many to shame. He shold do a movie where he can dance, made me get up and do a little tango by myself, though it would have been better with him by all means.

~riette Thu, Nov 11, 1999 (15:20) #243

ha-ha! You've just made the FILTHIEST thought enter my head!

~MarciaH Thu, Nov 11, 1999 (15:35) #244

Oooh...I looked and thought and looked again and nothing occurs to me...whisper and tell me...! Please!...

~MarciaH Thu, Nov 11, 1999 (15:37) #245

Oh...OK! Think I got the idea if it concerned her solo "tango"....*grin*

~wolf Thu, Nov 11, 1999 (16:09) #246

*ohmy* well, i certainly believe you lucille!

~riette Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (12:58) #247

Yes, Marcia, I was half thinking about the sort of tango one does with Mr Hand and his 5 lovely sons upon viewing a hunka-man like that. ha-ha!!

~wolf Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (16:23) #248

but in HER case, wouldn't the HAND be Ms? *blush* marcia, d'ya think anybody would mine it too much if i made a topic dedicated to arnold over at drool? because i was thinking, you know the websites totally dedicated to the man are few and far between and, y'know, i could invite them over here and drool with the rest of us!

~MarciaH Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (18:51) #249

Do you mind if I email and pave the way for you? I think it would be lovely, but even I would not attempt such a thing without running it by Karen and Heide first. Diplomacy and all that...*smile* (Gonna do it right now...)

~MarciaH Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (18:57) #250

Just sent an email. I think Drool is like the Sports Conference. I tried to create several topics. I was unable to, so I had to plead with Terry to create them for me, which he graciously did. I think they will, as well.

~wolf Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (19:46) #251

ok, thanks, marcia! yes, i too, didn't want to impose my topic on them! but i can't wait until they do!!

~MarciaH Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (20:25) #252

They will, I am pretty sure of that. Drooleurs are always welcome. Look at Charlotte and Kevin Costner. (I hear Ree's mellow voice now on Spring...now if we could only see her on one or the other of the places. Love your background music, Ree!

~KarenR Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (22:33) #253

Was expecting to see a pic of Arnold here? ;-D Wolf, what would you like the topic to say under his name? Heide's our chief cook and topic creator. I've never done it...she admits semi-sheepishly...baaa

~MarciaH Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (23:05) #254

Want me to do it? Wolf and I cohost SpringArk and she did her topics in there, and I did Geo all by myself (including telnetting to link two conferences to Geo as well). Wolf also has the poetry conference and Collecting conf. If you don't mind, could we wait till she gets my email tomorrow and does it herself? She lives in Loozyanna, so is probably asleep now. She has pics of AV and a place on Spring's hard drive to store them. Let the drool flow (she did put pix of AV on here back several posts. Lots of them! It is very easy to create a topic...it is an awesome feeling!

~MarciaH Fri, Nov 12, 1999 (23:06) #255

...come to think of it, I created THIS topic!!! (and one in Books, food, travel, screwed, and probably others, as well...!)

~wolf Sat, Nov 13, 1999 (10:37) #256

karen, thank you so very much for taking in my idea via marcia! she was so good to talk to you about it for me!! if you don't want to go searching for AV's pic, i'll find it and post the response number....

~wolf Sat, Nov 13, 1999 (10:39) #257

karen: here's the link-- http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/babes/47/222

~KarenR Sat, Nov 13, 1999 (13:35) #258

Thanks, wolf. Why don't you go ahead and start the topic on Drool. Don't know if topic creation is limited to Heide and myself.

~wolf Sat, Nov 13, 1999 (16:38) #259

thank you, thank you, thank you!! will do right away *smile*

~MarciaH Thu, Feb 17, 2000 (20:28) #260

I cannot believe that no one has lusted, admired, wished furtively or otherwise looked twice appreciatively at the tall, hunky sex since last year! My top 5 still consist of ***'s replacing the former 5th place Colin Firth. (Waiting to see who notices...) *** *** *** *** ***

~MarciaH Thu, Feb 17, 2000 (20:30) #261

Wolfie, we shoulda spent V-day here! Atleast real men are mentioned herein. *grin*

~wolf Thu, Feb 17, 2000 (22:09) #262

the kind who show their appreciation for the fairer sex in the kindest, subtlest ways which are truly noticed and cherished *hugs*

~MarciaH Thu, Feb 17, 2000 (22:13) #263

*chills* of recognition...Indeed! ... *hugs*

~MarciaH Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (00:37) #264

The closest male I know who still speaks to me with any regularity is now on Oahu but I can hear him on my radio. We (UHHilo Vulcans) are playing basketball on Oahu (Honolulu) and this is as close to the game as I can get. Besides, I am the only one alive on Spring and if I don't write anything there won't be anything to read. *sigh* I miss someone...Much!

~sprin5 Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (08:20) #265

We've gotta figure out how to get more folks here, Marcia.

~MarciaH Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (13:29) #266

I know for a fact (admitted to me personally) that when I post on more than just one or two topics, I get a bunch of folks following me around to keep me company and to read what I am posting. If it gets interesting enough they jump in if I am lucky. I am working on one new poster (got him a login and password so there is not excuse!...except for the need belatedly to finish college!) I will think about how to do it and get a few "followers" to post if'n I can...Any suggestions? *smile*

~MarciaH Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (14:44) #267

Let's see. We could always tell the first 10 posters they get free virtual seat cushions or whatever they do at beaseball games to attract crowds. A virtual evening with MarciaMarciaMarcia??!

~MarciaH Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (14:46) #268

Pehaps I can promise them an active lave flow in their back yard if they post here - or if they don't post in Geo? They'll never have to mow the grass again!

~MarciaH Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (16:06) #269

Better yet, I'll take them on a hike they will never forget. Watch black sand beaches forming, watch hills being taking shape, watch molten lava cascade down a black-velvet hillside while you listed to the whales breathing just off shore. All this and warm trade winds scented by tropical flowers. Any takers?

~wolf Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (16:12) #270

poor marcia, here all by herself!

~MarciaH Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (16:23) #271

Not really, Wolfie... You are here! And, we are now linked elsewhere! Yippee!!!

~MarciaH Fri, Feb 18, 2000 (16:26) #272

Oh yes, and a kind person stopped by to comment that we gotta get more people here...so I made the above offers...*sigh* No takers, yet...!

~wolf Sat, Feb 19, 2000 (13:25) #273

well, we build it, they will come.

~MarciaH Sat, Feb 19, 2000 (13:34) #274

You betcha! I was posting around in Geo last night and was followed to see what I was doing...by at least one charming person. O'course, there was little else to do here at that hour other than to catch up on posts from w a y back. Getting some intersting subjects tossed out for nibbles in our newest joint venture. And, the Space Shuttle decided to take Hawaii's Picture and the download is amazing in TIFF - you can see detail on the runways at Honolulu International Airport!!! **** still the crowning glory of my list...*sigh*

~wolf Sat, Feb 19, 2000 (21:26) #275

i thought i read somewhere the shuttle was gonna do some mapping. cool!

~MarciaH Sat, Feb 19, 2000 (22:08) #276

Yup! Geo 5 (my long-languishing Cartography topic) contains the latest stuff. I cannot wait till they do our island....I keep running outside and smiling upward and waving every 90 minutes...hoping, dontcha know...*grin* They're gonna do you, too, Wolfie, so you wave back! Tres cool, no?!

~autumn Mon, Feb 21, 2000 (13:10) #277

My current top 5: Chris Noth Jimmy Smits Jeff Goldblum Al Pacino lil' Ricky Shroeder (*sigh*--what can I say? I'm hot for cops...)

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 21, 2000 (13:26) #278

*lol* Autumn! You mean THEY are in trouble if they stop you?! Nice choices

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 21, 2000 (13:28) #279

I think I'm gonna have to add Lance to one of my lists if he keeps being as charming as he has of late...

~wolf Mon, Feb 21, 2000 (21:07) #280

i like jeff goldblum too! david duchovny is in another movie....can't remember the name or who he stars with. saw the poster at the movies this weekend (saw snow day with the kids)...

~autumn Sat, Feb 26, 2000 (18:25) #281

Unfortunately, the cops around here don't look anything like the ones on TV! Poor Ricky S. might have to get bumped...I forgot about Aidan Quinn and those piercing blue eyes. (*sigh*)

~wolf Sat, Feb 26, 2000 (21:36) #282

and he plays paul mccartney in some film i saw an ad for. wearing brown contacts too! i loved aidan in, oh, now what was that movie with brad pitt and aidan played his brother and they were both in love with the same woman? well, i thought aidan was a babe in that one.

~MarciaH Sat, Feb 26, 2000 (22:57) #283

There goes another of my illusions crushed by reality. TV is not like real life? Auwe!!! Our police do not even faintly resemble their actor-counterparts either...if they did, I suspect no one would tune in to watch.

~wolf Sun, Feb 27, 2000 (11:43) #284

well, if you watch emergency vets on animal planet, you would know that some vets in real life are real babes!

~MarciaH Sun, Feb 27, 2000 (12:35) #285

Y're right about that! Babes for both proclivities, actually! Perhaps that is why I tend to watch "real" TV instead of movies and programming involving actors (unless it is British...*sigh*) Wolfie, you would have been such a GREAT vet of the DVM sort *hugs*

~MarciaH Sun, Feb 27, 2000 (12:36) #286

Of course, you are still so unconscionably young that you can become a DVM as soon as The Man will let you out of your contract. Stranger things have happened...!

~wolf Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (10:02) #287

always wanted to be a vet but as i get older, am not sure i can handle it!

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (12:13) #288

What's the difference between nursing your children and husband and letting excess "wind" out of a cow?! Yeah, I know! There is too much blood involved with veteranary medicine for me. Are you such a fan of animals that you could not poke'um and cut out bad stuff to save their lives? Not sure I could as a way of making a living. Once as a heroic measure is different!

~wolf Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (16:38) #289

i would get too emotionally involved and cry a lot. i'd rather leave the cutting to someone else and let me rehabilitate them (after surgery, injury, abuse) i would love to take a "biting" dog and turn it into a teddy bear.

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (18:36) #290

That is what I imagined. You and I are nurturers who NEED to hug and soothe and comfort and kiss it to make it better. At least you have loving animals and kiddies who love and need you...I have a computer...

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (18:36) #291

Oh, and some very nice friends IRL...lest they read this and wonder about it.

~wolf Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (19:05) #292

funny you should call my penchant for hugging and kissing "nurturing"....my mother told me that there was more to being a vet than petting the animals (and this when i was 25 years old). i had to hold my tongue with both hands!

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (21:41) #293

They have solid proof that children (and animals, as well) will not thrive without hugging and nuzzling and kissing them...even with the best of food. Wolfie, You Da Mom! (is there such a saying?!)

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (21:42) #294

( You showed remarkable restraint *applause* oh, and *hugs*) *grin*

~wolf Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (22:08) #295

well, sad as it is to say, she's kinda always been that way. poor dear. wish she could see me as a person and not as a five year old. (i love her anyway)

~autumn Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (22:19) #296

I could never be a vet...when we had cable, I used to cry at every episode of that British vet show on PBS ("All Things Bright and Beautiful"? "All Creatures Great and Small"? Either way, it's a line from that hymn).

~wolf Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (22:26) #297

yeah, me too, i've seen lots and lots of episodes of emergency vets (in colorado) and have just sat there bawling and hugging my dogs. i love that clinic though. they're always ready to take a critter in. seems like around here you have to make an appointment and forget about midnight emergencies. (those books, all things bright and beautiful and all creatures great and small, are so good. read them as a teenager)

~wolf Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (22:26) #298

hi autumn!

~MarciaH Mon, Feb 28, 2000 (22:35) #299

By the time we got that series in Hawaii I was married to a Biologist and we would discuss the dissections during the program. I had to be clinical because he was a new aquisition and all that...!

~Gregory Wed, Mar 1, 2000 (21:38) #300

Marcia Why would you want a listing of guys on a babes page for guys? That why you can't get any postings. Everyone wants to post babe stuff. I hope your not offened by this you sound like a nice good looking woman.
