The DirecTV satellite internet redhead. And pretty much any other TV redhead, except Lucille Ball.

That doctoral student in Numbers (or NUMB3RS, if you’re on CBS’ payroll). Really, really smart and drop dead [gorgeous](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Amita_Ramanujan.jpg) to boot.

OK, so it’s not that good a picture, but it’s the best I could find in a few minutes.

Yes, yes, yes. I could listen to him read the phone book and still feel all safe and secure and strong. Perfect representation for an insurance company. Ain’t too hard on the eyes, neither.

I just have to say how much I love these threads when they get started. I end up with multiple windows open, I’m constantly Googling for more pictures of the ones I like, and checking IMDB for the rest.

Thanks **Gabe** , you picked up a dreary Friday! 😃

My wife adores Dennis Haysbert, and as a huge “24” fan, I can hardly blame her. Even I get it.

I’d vote for that man in a second, even over Christopher Walken. 😃

She used to be a local news reader here (NBC affiliate), and lived on the next street over from me for a while.

God was she a snooty little bitch.

Did you see the early one where they took the mold of her ass? Good times. 😃  
My celeb crushes change out regularly, I think right now it’s Colin Firth and Jason Bateman.

I missed that one, somehow, even though my wife and I are devoted viewers. But I’ve seen many, MANY screen captures of that. 🙂 I kind of feel bad for her that her sacrifice in the name of science has been turned into the webgeeks’ drool tool, but maybe she’s into being worshipped. I don’t know.

**Cynical Gabe:** Are you referring to Sabine Ehrenfel, or the new [Overstock.com](http://Overstock.com) brunette?

That episode featured the greatest out-of-context exchange between Jamie and Adam:

_Scene: Adam is really, really admiring the mold of Kari’s ass. Jamie walks up with a cynical look on his face._  
**Adam:** Oh man, this is awesome.  
**Jamie** : Awesome? You really like that huh?  
**Adam:** Yeah, I’m really looking forward to spanking it.

The sad part is this is AFTER they increased the weight to make it look like it came from a 300lb woman. I should mention that Kari operated the CAD station where they modified the scan, with a look of disbelief on her face the whole time.

Back on topic, there’s something about the brunette who pitches the Mercury line of SUVs that works for me. No idea who she is though.

Except for full-size pickups, the models in car commercials are small people. They make those tiny cars look big. Referring to a crude joke, the women are Spinners.

Not being a big 24 fan, I still think of him as Pedro Cerrano from _Major League_. “Hats for bats…keep bats warm. Gracias”…and “Jesus (pronounced hay-soos)…I like him bery much. But he no help with curveball.”
