I was talking about Cut&Run, but yes, I remember that episode and Dean was all kinds of awesome.

*grumbles*
They're nice to watch though.

OH No, the "R" Word....not going to happen....

Only one of them is not work oriented. The other two are just funny. :P
Besides, everyone will enjoy Sam's shirtless-ness. Including your boss and co-workers of every gender and orientation. Because #yum.

My sister doesn't do the R word either, so I understand.
I'm not sure this is going to help you guys read more, drooling over dudes!
oooh! maybe throwing more distracting dudes will knock you out of the competition for a bit ;-P

Really? Instead of gunning for #2 team you want to distract US?!

Judith is being sensible and not-at-all-entertaining, with no droolable-dudes on her thread! Why would I go there?!

Well that doesn't help my reading at all! I miss white collar for frequent doses of Bomer.

Damn, I was only supposed to be distracting Cat! LOL!
I'm easily distracted. Though I am nearly finished with book number 3 (way up on expected numbers, but won't last when I go back to work in a couple of weeks)

Nice work! I'm going to read more in mine at lunch :)

While I've been enjoying the boys, they've not got me completely stuck.
Richard Armitage'd do it though :) he's on my free-pass list. #swoon

He's had croup. No longer sounding like Darth Vader or feverish but still napping lots and grumpy as anything

Robin Hood too :)
There was a glorious ep where he stripped off...
I never understood why Marian would chose hoodie scruff over brooding Guy....
Excuse me whilst I daydream...

Am I still on the team? :p


On the left hand side we are ranked #5, but on the left we are number 6? However I think the right hand side is more accurate because Sandy Claws does have more points then we do.....not sure where this should be posted, so I just posted it here.

Yes, but you should watch Supernatural (after the challenge) and read Cut & Run (immediately). LOL

Weird, I see us as in 7th place on both sides of the sheet.

....so I am crazy.... At least I had us ranked higher. :)

It's because he's Robin Hood. ;-)
I have to admit that I do find Jonas Armstrong kind of cute in that scruffy sort of way. Armitage just looks grumpy all the time, even in The Hobbit. Same expression, same growly "fuck off" way of talking. Though it fits ;-)

E, you say that like it's a bad thing!!
Though, despite what I said earlier, I did occasionally enjoy a sigh over scruffy Armstrong too,but it was generally a passing moment before broodyMcbroodyface came back into focus.
I've listened to a couple of Armitage narrated books, and he's pretty good there too. Though he's not managed to tempt me into listening to David Copperfield yet. My aversion to Dickens (even after the recent Nickleby wjn) too strong for even Richard A's vocal charms

Sometimes it can be!! ;-)
But no, I don't think even his voice could tempt me into reading Dickens either. I think not even Ewan McGregor's voice could do that. My one encounter with Dickens has ruined his books for me forever, no matter how fun the stories might potentially be (if shortened considerably).

Dickens seems to do this to a lot of people! Still can't believe that my school made us read it at 13. Only just read my second this year.

I cried when they sang For Good and Kristin and Idina started it but all the other Glindas and Elphabas from the US Broadway run came out and sang with them. #goosebumps
@Sophie: we had the "pleasure" of reading A Christmas Carol in our first year, so 11/12... I still twitch a bit at the memory. That said, I did see Patrick Stewart do a one-man show of it in London about 10 years ago - it was utterly brilliant!
I do have a fondness for A Tale of Two Cities - mainly for it's outstanding opening & closing lines though.
Great Expectations & David Copperfield are just BAD though!
