Randy sent me a Buzzfeed quiz this morning. This quiz guesses your on-show Supernatural death .
My death ended up being due to making a 10 year cross roads demon deal. I like to think that in real life, I wouldn’t trade an eternity in hell for 10 years of marshmallow fluff and sandy beaches, but who knows? I also tried taking the quiz in all possible combinations to see if my death could be caused by a Sam and Dean sandwich. Apparently, such a demise isn’t one of the options.
We usually go to the grocery early on Sunday mornings, but we skipped shopping today. Poor Randy injured his foot and has been renamed Gimpy McGimperson. Walking through an enormous grocery (200K+ sq. ft.) would have taken hours.
Instead, we went through the drive thru at Starbucks.
Randy opened the ‘hot guy’ can of worms with his Supernatural quiz. He has no one to blame but himself for the conversation we had on the way to Starbucks.
Me: You know who was hot?
Randy: The Great Randini?
Me: Sure.
Randy:…
Me: Jimmy Stewart in Mr Smith Goes To Washington.
Randy: What about James Dean?
Me: Oh yes. He was hot as fuck. And William Powell in the Nick and Nora movies. Nick Charles was dreamy. A dreamy alcoholic.
Me: A lot of those old actors were hot. I mean, if we can just look past the patriarchal attitudes toward women. Cary Grant in Arsenic And Old Lace. Fucking adorable.
Then we fell into that comfortable silence that old married couples fall into when one of them settles into naughty thoughts of a young Marlon Brando and Rudolph Valentino and Paul Newman. The other one is driving like a little old lady and yelling at other drivers for going to slow.
I admit to being somewhat shocked there were other drivers on the road this morning driving slower than my husband. I can only imagine that there was a singles breakfast for the 90+ crowd nearby.
Randy: You got quiet.
Me: I was getting nervous about how fast you were driving. You know, breaking the sound barrier, perhaps causing a sonic boom.
Randy: Don’t start that shit.
Me: What about Robert Redford when he was young? Damn. My mom had a thing for Robert Redford. She didn’t say much about other men, but she was fond of Robert Redford. And Bruce Jenner. So far, I haven’t had the heart to hang shit on her about that.
Randy: Don’t torment your mother.
Me: It’d be kind of funny, though.
Disclaimer: I am in no way being disparaging of Caitlyn Jenner. I am thrilled she is living her authentic life. I hope we can reach a time when this stuff isn’t so news worthy and just a matter of course as people live their lives. That doesn’t mean, however, that I won’t tease my 75 year old mother about her former crush on Bruce Jenner.
Me: When the grandbabies are grown and have grandkids, I wonder who will make the list of really hot old-timey actors? My guess is the top three will be Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Denzel.
Randy:…
Me: What?
Randy: I drive safe. You drive like a lunatic.
Me: Whatever, granny.
Randy: I should have never sent you that quiz this morning.
Me: Well, you did. Now hurry up. I want to get home and watch Supernatural. I think I’ll call my mom, too.
So, who’s on your pre-1980 hot guy list?
Definitely with you on Powell. Stewart and Grant. I have a thing for Robert Montgomery. He was not the the guy from the coffee commercials and Father Knows Best. That was Robert Young.
Hahaha..actually did know the difference.
I was killed as leverage so that sucks…
As for the hotties, I’d have to have a think about that.
By the way, how did Gimpy McGimperson the “safe” driver hurt his foot?
We really have no idea. I think it’s a stress fracture.
Ouch that sucks. Poor Randy, but I do love the nickname.
Hahah..he’s not as fond of it.
I was still just a young lass, but I had a huge crush on Shaun Cassidy and Jimmy McNichol, who now looks more like a meth head than a former teen idol. Tiger Beat magazine was the bomb back in those days! 🙂
I read Tiger Beat…I LOVED that magazine. I’m a little older than you, so my crush was Shaun’s older brother.
I guess I’m not entirely qualified to offer a hot guy, but I’m pretty sure I understand why some women, and some men, swoon when I bring up a young Kevin McCarthy. And for straight men there’s Dana Wynter since I’m talking about the 1956 Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.
And what about Steve McQueen? Taken from us too soon, I’m afraid, just like James Dean.
Oh yes..Steve McQueen was dreamy..
I love Marlon Brando, Paul Newman and Sean Connery 😀
Nice list. 🙂
Clint Eastwood. Hot and sexy.
Hell yes..
My mom and I agree on the following:
Robert Redford (circa Butch Cassidy)
Paul Newman (Cool Hand Luke)
Mark Harmon (in everything ever)
That’s kind of it. That’s the list.
But really, Paul Newman. Just….
It’s those eyes. Holy hell..
Ouch, poor Randy, hope it heals quickly!
Definitely with you on Cary Grant and James Dean, young Clint Eastwood was smoking hot, always liked Tony Curtis and James Coburn too, these days it’s pretty much Johnny Depp all the way!
🙂
I had no idea who Bruce Jenner was until this whole transgender news fest to be honest, but yes I would also be teasing my mother in that situation, though like you I fully support anyone’s choice to become the gender they identify with. Why other people think anyone else’s sexuality or gender is any of their business is beyond me.
Totally with you on that. I don’t know why people care so much.
I hope Randy heals soon, too. He’s stubborn and won’t go to the doctor. sheesh.
Geez, came across some vintage Miami Vice episodes the other day so I confess: back “in the day” I had a love/hate relationship w/Don Johnson… He was a fine-looking specimen in his prime!
That he was..
George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffany’s always makes my heart skip a beat.
Yeah..that’s such a great movie
I have to agree Jimmy Stewart and James Dean.
They were yummy. No doubt.
Dammit! I sacrificed myself. I gotta stop doing that!
Haha. Yeah..that will only take you so far. You know..just the one time.
John Cusack. sigh!
Definitely, John Cusask.
oh, and Richard Gere.
My first husband kind of resembled Richard Gere. He doesn’t anymore.
Jack Nicholson, Robert de Niro. Still love em both <3
de Niro in Godfather II. Oh yes.
Nicolas Cage. For years.
I fell for him when I saw Valley Girl.
John cusack for me anytime , I do mean ANYTIME and I have a thing for wait for it John Wayne
I know but he is kinda sexy
Meh..to each their own. I think Alan Rickman is terribly sexy.
Oh my! I am of a different generation (ducks head to avoid being rightfully smacked) but am in no position to judge. Off to do more drooling over Billy Idol 😉
I was a HUGE Billy Idol fan back in the day..
Gregory Peck. But I’d have to be on my best behavior (which is soo fkn difficult!), so I’d choose William Powell for shots and banter (imagine when the cameras were off? oh I’ll bet he was naughty…) and yup: had a crush on Olympic Bruce. I was 13, he was here in my hometown crushing it in the decathlon. It was fleeting though, I remember, because Peter Frampton was also here, and I had it baaaad for him. (My daughters seemed speechless when I told them of my Bruce-crush.That was a rare moment, I tell ya.) Oh laugh if you want. Your mother gets it.
Hahhaha. I had a thing for Peter Frampton as well. And now, he lives close by. He read to kids at a local library not that long ago.
Not sure how far back you meant by pre 1980 but there’s some tasty eye candy at http://mydaguerreotypeboyfriend.tumblr.com/archive
1923’s Hemingway was the bomb
Oh and Sam and Dean sandwich…yum
You can go as far back as you want!
Errol Flynn. I saw Captain Blood at age 11, in 1972, and it literally changed my life 😀
I also second the nominations for Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant. Oh, and the scrumptious goodness that was Gregory Peck. All gorgeous, good actors and class acts from youth to old age.
John Wayne was surprisingly hot in Stagecoach.
All good. I still think William Powell is my favorite. He was funny, too. And oh so cool.
My mother used to think that Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood were pretty. I think that my idea of a good looking man would be Maxim Marinin in 2006 when he won (his half) of the pairs figure skating gold medal in the Olympics in Italy…
I had to google him. He is good looking.
Charleton Heston!
He did have a presence.
Pernell Roberts! All that black!
Pernell Roberts..hahaha. that’s awesome.
I LOVE Buzzed quizzes. As for the men pre-1980’s, I would have to go with the classic. Gene Kelly. Swooooooon!
and he was graceful…
When I was 9 years old, I thought Jack Lord was IT! Now I laugh at myself 🙂
I was in love with James Garner when I was a freshman in high school. And Steven Tyler. Wide range, there.
Ohhh – Cary Grant for sure. I would love to live back in the 30’s and 40’s for a few months – everything seemed so elegant then. And then in late 60’s and 70’s I was totally in lust with Robert Redford. He is the Brad Pitt of that era – beautiful, blonde, and never aging. And Richard Gere – also a beautiful man who seemed to never age.
Everything was elegant back then and it would be fun to visit…but I wouldn’t want to stay there.
I had a weird thing for David Bowie in Labyrinth. Let’s not speak of it.
That is awesome. And I kind of see it.
Without a doubt Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Most especially Robert Redford. Gorgeous!
He stayed pretty for a very long time, too
Hmm…David Cassidy. David Soul. And of course Butch and Sundance.
I also liked Brett Hudson…never missed the Hudson Brothers.
Parker Stevenson and then as I matured (you know, like 12 years old) Paul Michael Glaser (aka Starsky), loved that brooding darkness, violence and sex thing (not that I understood that at the time). I also had a crush on the somewhat roly-poly balding guy that did the economic news at like 6am before school, yikes
Oh yes..I loved Paul Michael Glaser…
Honey, there isn’t enough space and time to list them all. But, yeah, Robert Redford in anything, but especially as Sundance. I find it laughable that when I typed in Robert on my phone, the surname that popped up was Pattinson. Not even close, baby!
Oh hell no..and yes, he was GORGEOUS as Sundance.
My all time two go to hot movie guys are Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.
My two TV guys … definitely Sam & Dean Winchester.
I did love tiger beat and my crush was john stamos.. he was blackie on GH and i had to watch it after school with my mom. He has still got it… bless him.
You just can’t go wrong with Sam and Dean. Although, I am also a big fan of Daryl Dixon
Hi M.
I loved George Reeves (original superman)
I know- weird.
xo
jill
haha..judgement free zone here.
