Will find my copy of the first again and make sure I carry on this time! Will use this round of wheelathon as inspiration. Hopefully the letters will come in handy

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

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.

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

message 269: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments So you're trying to get a peep at the Steven and Sonia show. We calmed down along the road. No more feisty fights. Unless I decide to try to claim Tybalt. Since I'm not reading Toby, no danger of that occurring anytime soon.

Richard Armitage'd do it though :) he's on my free-pass list. #swoon

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...


message 283: by Joanne (new)

Joanne Ok so I've never watched Supernatural or read Cut & Run (although it is on my TBR).

Am I still on the team? :p


message 284: by Abinormal (new)

Abinormal So we dont need to cover anything black anymore? I guess I was confused, I thought it was worth more for each one, but I guess we can only cover each one, one time?


message 285: by Abinormal (new)

Abinormal BTW, There is something wrong with the Overall spreadsheet.

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

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 ;-)


message 291: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 9742 comments Mod
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

Cat (cat_uk) | 9742 comments Mod
@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!
