Doh. I wanna replace Paul Newman with Aidan Gillen. I love Paul, but since I can’t technically ever have him in his _Hot Tin Roof_ days, I’ll take Aidan instead. He makes me go all giddy.

Shrew,  
Russell Crowe got married on April 7, 2003 (his birthday - WTF would anyone get married on their B-Day is beyond me), to on/off girlfriend Danielle Spencer in Australia. It was all over the news, the day of and before.

I want to change my list:  
put Paul Bettany as an alternate and replace with John Cusack.  
Delete Sting (Tantric Sex might be too much) have to put Kevin Spacey somewhere?

:eek: 😃 Why, thank ya’, ma’am. I’m deeply honored to be selected by such a succulent flower of southern womanhood.

And, yes, Val is quite good. If he ever comes back for the Master class, I think I can turn him into something a lady could really savor. 😉

I, personally, don’t believe in free passes. I’d prefer to be with a woman who could make me forget about all those other lovelies. Yes, I know that will probably never happen, but we’re all dreaming, here, aren’t we? 🙂

I hope it _is_ okay to go non-Hollywood because, for me, the woman’s personality is _way_ more important than her looks. And, I don’t know any Hollywood celebrities. So, if I can do an all-SDMB Top 5 list, it would have to include the following lovely ladies, in no particular order;

tag (I’ve missed you, sugar. We must not be posting to the same threads.)  
miapiace  
Searching For Truth (I’m _still_ missing _you_, Sunshine.)  
Kung Fu Lola  
betenoir

It was hard to cut the list down that far, too. There are a few others that could easily make the list, if my impressions of them are correct. **Kalhoun** and **Simple Dreamer** leap to mind, for instance. And, for the record, **MeanOldLady** , I think you’re _prettier_ than Gabrielle Union, based on the photos I’ve seen. But, maybe that’s just me.
