Who Would Make Your 'Laminated List?'

I have this post over on my sci-fi blog but it's a good fit here too...


I was watching New Amsterdam this evening and decided I have a new crush. The star of the show, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, is hawt! I've also realized that I seem to have a particular type when it comes to the men I drool over. Maybe I'm the only one who sees it, but he reminds me a little of my main celebrity-crush, Hugh Jackman.

Anyway, thinking of these hot men reminded me of an episode of "Friends" that created the cultural phenomenon of the Laminated List. The urban dictionary defines the list as:

A list of the top 5 people, usually celebrities, with whom you could have sex with without repercussions, if the opportunity arose, regardless of whether you were in a relationship or not.

A woman's laminated list might be:
1.) Mel Gibson
2.) Brad Pitt
3.) Colin Ferrel
4.) Pierce Brosnan
5.) Russell Crowe


C'mon, don't tell me you've never considered who'd be on your list.

The funny part for me is that beyond Hugh Jackman, and now Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, I have a hard time coming up with a solid list. Well, okay, add Daniel Craig-- then it gets hard. The final two. Hmmm. Let me think. Brad Pitt? Good looking but not rugged enough. Jamie Bamber? Very good looking but I think he may be short. Orlando Bloom? Cute but too young. Justin Timberlake? Ditto. Jake Gyllenhaal? Ditto. Johnny Depp? Very nice but I like a man to look like he bathes once in a while. Harrison Ford? ...That's a tough one. But I seem to really favor men closer to my own age. Clive Owen? Ooooh, definite possibility.

So you can see my dilemma. It's hard to nail it down isn't it? So I guess my list -- so far-- would be.

1. Hugh Jackman (he is my first love)
2. Daniel Craig (Bond. Need I say more?)
3. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Sigh)
4. TBD
5. TBD

Now it's your turn. I'd like to know who you'd put on your list. I'm not going for sci-fi people either. Just those people who'd make your top five. Maybe I'll get some good suggestions...

You know me yuvs some Daniel Craig. I would also add Javier Bardem. And This guy, purely on fantasy looks. And I can't help it, I love The Rock too. Oh, I can't forget Beckham. I don't care how twittish he might be.

Mark Ruffalo is a hottie. I hadn't thought about going back and using hot men from the past. I guess I'm too literal.

My kids would love it if I brought the ice cream man home.

Becks is hot but being married to Posh kind of ruins him for me. "That guy" is beeeeuuuutiful.

OH. MY. GOD.

I just tonight had logged on to start tinkering around on writing a post on THIS VERY SUBJECT. Honestly.

Seriously.

You are my psychic sister.

SQT said...

WOW.

I feel very cool right now.

Are you going to post your list?

I get too literal with this sort of game myself.

For instance, I once had a crush on Winona Ryder, until she started going out with a certain musician I knew -- who smelled terrible. After that, I couldn't think about her without thinking, 'she went out with that smelly guy!' and the magic, it was ruined...

Although this does change from time to time. . . .ok, whenever I catch a new hottie when I'm flicking through the telly.
