    So, Who do you have a "Get Out of Marriage Free" card for?

    You know, the celebrities that you have already agreed wouldn't be a breach of the vows?

    IIRC, there was a "Friends" episode about this issue....

    This is a pretty funny question. I don't think I am actually in posession of one of those cards, since DH is quite jealous of any celebrity I think is dreamy.

    If I did have one, it would have to be for Orlando Bloom. yum. I'm sure he's got a great personality, but I don't really care about that.
    We figured there was too much happiness here for just the two of us, so we figured the next logical step was to have us a critter.

    Umm. It would have to Dennis Quaid; his smile does me in. Especially after he did that Bonnie Raitt video many, many years ago. Plus, I kind of crossed paths with him at Disneyland. Our sons are the same age, and we would kind of be standing next to each other on the Dumbo ride whenever the line would wind around. I think it's fate actually.

    Prince William: Seems to have a lot of 'issues' plus that horrid family. Although Camilla seems like somebody you could knock back a few neat Johnny Walkers with after the hunt (oops, you can't do that anymore can you?) while trading dirty jokes.

    Orlando Bloom: Cute yes. Too short?

    Mine would have to be non-blonde, brown eyes, great sense of humor. Come to think of it...kinda like my husband.

    Hmmmm ... so many choices. I would have to go with Brad Pitt or Clive Owen (he was dreamy in Sin City).

    Linda- I hear you on the family issues with my Wills. He lost a lot of credability with the Nazi/Harry issue.

    But, I can't get past the fact that if you marry Wills, you get to wear a tiara of real diamonds. DH has given me marriage exemption also. He's willing to play the odds, in this situation.

    My other one is Dean Cain (from the Superman TV series.) Holy yummy!

    See my above comment on his personality... I am willing to overlook iwhatever needs overlooking in part or as a whole.

    Okay, now that I've read your responses, I finally "get" it. I've deleted my (totally inappropriate and definitely not correct) responses, I've given it some thought.

    I really like that dude from CSI - William Peterson.

    Debie Bowie. I'm cracking up.

    Escher, correct me if I'm remembering wrong, but the premise in the Friends episode is that your List should be 5 celebrities of EACH gender, regardless of your own gender/orientation?

    Men:
    Heath Ledger (although I'm old enough to be his mother)
    Orlando Bloom (ditto....how'd I get so old?)
    Keanu Reeves....so long as he promises not to talk
    (brain cramp....gotta go find this actor's name)
    Alton Brown

    Women:
    Angelie Jolie...although she scares me a little bit, too
    Famke Janssen

    hmmm. It's harder to think of the women, partly because that's not my default orientation, and partly because I just sense so many of them maybe aren't nice people IRL.....

    How old is he anyway? (Like Princess Grace) what are the odds he'd be in working order for that one long steamy night or would you tire yourself out just trying to get Mr. Happy going?

    Actually, I think the official Friends list consists of only 3 celebrities that you get to sleep with and the other can't get mad.

    My list:

    Edward Norton
    John Cusack
    Viggo Mortensen


    DH's list:

    Brooke Burke
    Karen Duffy
    Fairuza Balk

    Bowie was born in 1947, so that makes him, what, 58? That's not too old by a long shot---and hell, he's got a 5 year old, so it sounds like everything's working just fine!

    There would only be one on DH's list: Rene Zelleweger which I...just...don't...get.

    Hey, Escher, where's your list?

    I'd have to think about my list.

    I know DH's list includes Helen Hunt, which I could live with. At least she's not a bimbo.
    Wouldn't you like to be a Susan, too?

    Not married, but I'd like to choose Brendan Shanahan for future use. I just want to be part of Brendan and Bethany Ann Shanahan.

But, we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh, yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick. Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question."

    Have mercy.

    I've been away from hockey so long, I've betrayed my Brendan.

    Joaquin Phoenix - DBF looks so much like him, it's kind of spooky.

    John Cusack - I've had a huge crush on him since wayyyy back when.

    Jude Law - I never saw him as being so hot until after I saw him in "Alfie." Oh. My. God.

    My DH continues to go back and forth between Drew Barrymore and Gwen Stefani ... I think either are good choices
