Top Five Victards 2008
Last year after watching High Fidelity, I was inspired to name my personal top five posters on the Victors' board. On Friday the movie was mentioned on the board, and I felt like it might be time for this year's top five list.
As I mentioned last year, while Jack likes posters based on (I really have no idea, but I think it's wit and wisdom), I pick mine based on how attractive they seem from a distance. (Jack, by the way, is disqualified as being a family member to the judge's panel.)
Last year there were ties, but I decided to suck it up and only rank five single guys this year. There were definitely a lot more people on my short list including Rabbit, Hank, Alpo, Danny, Ianumich Counter and others, but I had to be tough. There's always next year. So without further ado...
OK, you have to admit that Paul posts a lot of entertaining things. There are the polls, the accounts of his love life, clever stories. And he is the POTY. All of this puts him on my list. I was in suspense all weekend waiting to find out what happens on his date. (As Rabbit said, she could be good looking, independently wealthy, down to earth and sane!) Also, I can't forget the hilarious (and hot) post he wrote me last year shortly after the ranking came out.
At 5. Paul
Now I'd like to talk about Shumway, who is so oft maligned by the Victards. I was prompted to write this because last year Shumway posted that he had big plans for Valentine's day: He was bowling in a bowling league. This made me want to say, "Oh, sweetheart, I'll go out with you. This is getting ridiculous." Topped with reading back over a recent ANWJM post in which JM referred to Shum as "Fatstuff", in the blink of an eye, Shumway suddenly seemed hot to me. This very mellow, hard to get type, totally nice but not into commitment. The kind of guy that drives women wild.
And he's very even-handed about his politics, so I can't even say we have nothing in common.The only thing standing between us now is ... you know.... six feet two inches of tattooed, leg sweeping communist. But I still dig you, dude.
At 4. Shumway
It's true I very rarely hear about hurryup's board posts. It's a little unfair, but since meeting him, I just can't forget about him. Hey, I'm a woman. I don't need a reason. If the Bible has taught you nothing else (and it hasn't-I've read the board) it should be that.
At 3. hurryup
In second place is someone both clever and witty. And he's got to be hot, don't you think? I mean, he makes women leave funerals with his ogling. No ugly guy would have the--um-pardon my French--BALLS to do that. We're still so politically different that I can't boost him up too high. Two years in a row though. JJ, I beg you come over to the left, dude. You could move up on the list....
At 2. JJ
And the number one Victard (not counting JoeMama himself):
This is someone new to the list. Last year I wasn't up on his hilarity. Not only does he know the weather and argue against time-traveling cell biologist beginning of man (both with words and his sheer existence), he makes me laugh. No idea what he looks like, but does it really matter??? He's a scientist! (A scientist!)
At 1. Steve
(Where is JM on this list? He's the standard to which I hold everyone else. :) He's like some semi-evil--let's say naughty--overlord.)
