## Well, if I swung the other way, the only woman I can think of that I wouldn’t mind shagging is Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine). Personally, I don’t see what you all see in Angelina Jolie. I think she is kind of ugly actually.

When the Hansons were real popular a couple years ago , the Mr. was fond of yelling “I’d like to be locked in a prison cell with the middle one” whenever he heard any discussion of which Hanson brother was the cutest. He also has an unhealthy interest in Dr. Frank N Furter (me, too). Myself…well, stretching the very boundaries of credibility…maybe Jamie Lee Curtis. Or that gal in “Species”, Natasha Henstridge (?)…

Well I can’t belive I’m going to answer this either, but if I did play for the other team it would have to be 1.Sean Connery 2.Antonio Banderas or 3.Richard Gere. And as for Pamela Anderson Lee…what a skank. Id rather do Madonna!

Falcon! I’m shocked! (looking up Debra Messing’s phone number…)

Ergh. Honestly, I have no idea…I don’t even know what’s supposed to be attractive in a guy. Although, when a gaggle of women are giggling over some guy, I’ve found that saying, “I’d fuck him,” is a great way of making them stop.

Ashley Judd, if only to find out who waxes her eyebrows.

Madonna. I don’t find her particularly attractive, but I bet she’s a spitfire in bed.

Well, I think its quite notable how high Angelina Jolie and Drew Barrymore (and too a lesser extent Gillian Anderson) rate on a large percentage of straightish chicks lists. They are attractive, but probably aren’t going to be a real common pick for most guys. They certainly would fall in most guys lists somewhere, but maybe in the second string roster. FYI, I’m not entirely basing this on this thread, those names are very common when I’ve heard this topic in many situations. I’ll never understand that female libido.

What would I do if I switch hit?

Wolf Blitzer. 😛
