Don't forget Peter Crouch Who is somehow married to this... Spoiler Oh that's right, being awesome at soccer is the most powerful aphrodisiac on the planet
At least he knows it. Crouch responded to the question, “What would you be if you weren’t a footballer?” by saying: “A virgin”.
What he is said is true for the overwhelming population who might be reading this. Sure, if you live in Mogadishu, I'm willing to grant you as an exception. We're talking the other 99.99%. There is almost no comparable activity undertaken with similar frequency. Unless you are professionally shot at, are a member of a gang, or do hard drugs, the odds are very much in favor of driving being the riskiest decision you make on any semi-regular basis. And unlike most of those activities, we undertake daily or moreso.
Truth, hence why so many people get in accidents during the winter months, because when they start sliding they don't look at the road, they stare at whatever they are sliding towards.
Cops no doubt get killed on the job the most from simply making traffic stops and being run down by careless drivers. We have laws here stating if there's more than one lane you have to switch to the passing lane to give them safety if they're pulled over. A good idea if you ask me.
On Cumberbatch: You can get so, so far selling sex and chastity at the same time. That tension is what holds up the whole premise, the idea that Sherlock is doing all of these immensely, viscerally charismatic things but has a lack of interest (bordering on disdain) in following through. Twilight's not popular because they fuck. It's popular because they don't.
Pulled over cops, EMTs, people with broken down cars, construction workers, etc... if you can switch to the passing lane to give them space and don't, you're an asshole in my opinion.
It's popular because of poor economic times. I took a class on this topic in college, I'm not kidding. It was called 'Vampires, Werewolves, and the creation of 'The Other.' - Now this was almost twenty years ago. The main premise of the class was that as economic and political turmoil builds, popular culture tends towards the 'creation of the other' - meaning, an uncontrollable and unwanted antagonist that threatens you. Societies have apparently done this for hundreds of years. The class sounds like bullshit, but it was an examination of the culture surrounding the creation of many classic and contemporary horror novels and films. Interesting stuff.
Oh hey, let's throw up random images of dudes and wonder why women find them attractive even though no one said they found those particular dudes attractive. Attraction isn't just about looks, at least not for me. Even the most good looking guy in the world can be unattractive to me if I don't find him appealing at all. I was just looking at Alton Brown's twitter and the random selfies with his scruffy beard made me feel a little giddy. He's not a good looking man, very average. But he has got a personality that makes him extremely appealing.
Hey Ms. Wet Blanket, we were talking about one man in particular, a peculiar case if you will, then made fun of goofy Brits, one of whom happened to be married to a smokeshow. Nobody here was talking specifically about what makes people attractive. In both cases I've mentioned, there was tangible evidence as to people finding them attractive.
Confession. I find intelligence to be the sexiest characteristic. If someone is (or even if they're an actor pretending to be) really smart or clever, their sex appeal skyrockets for me. To this end, previous (and existing) nerd crushes of mine include, but are not limited to: *Steve Jobs *Danica McKellar *Geena Davis (she's a member of Mensa for Christ's sake) *David Hyde Pierce (specifically as Niles Crane) *Benedict Cumberbatch (specifically as Sherlock Holmes) *Hugh Laurie (specifically as House)
The Apple Mac "1984" Orwell Superbowl ad happened thirty years ago today. It's funny, now that Apple actually controls the world.
I listened to his podcast for a while, and i was astounded to learn that he's married with kids. He puts off a very strong effeminate vibe. My Gaydar is usually better than that.
Yea, I totally thought that he had teh ghey as well. Although being married with kids doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't smoke pole when he gets a chance.
I didn't know this, and wow you are not kidding. I already liked Good Eats and his recipes (hell I even bought one of his books), but guns too? Awesome. It turns out he has even has good taste too. Spoiler
