Saturday Night Absentee Meme

My wicked pissa blog friend Madame Meow of A Glance into a Mom's World wanted to know the Top 10 Celebrities whom I would like to know in a "Biblical Fashion." Since weekends were made for blog hopping under the influence, I thought this was a good a time as any for this kind of thing (I mean, alcohol makes us all a little biblical, doesn't it?). Unfortunately, I have a real-world commitment tonight. SO... I am turning off the comment moderation button so you all can drop comments freely while I am out getting sloshed in the real world. So be nice! Wait... what am I saying? That would go against all the principles of Weekend Blog Hopping. Say what you want. Surprise me, because I will be reading this upon my return.

In no particular order:

I can't resist a chick with a guitar. Girls who can rock win my complete adoration -- and it helps if they look as cute as this:

10%20chicks%20memeMichelle%20Branch.JPG
Michelle Branch

Add to that a dash and a half of bad-ass, and you get her:

10%20chicks%20memeLiz%20Phair.jpg
Liz Phair

And let's say you spilled that bottle of bad-ass all over the floor. That's ok. You get this treat:

10%20chicks%20memeKat.jpg
Kat Von D of LA Ink

Ok, you've got a bad-ass hangover. Let's get our equilibrium back with a whole lotta country sweetness. Oh, she's Sunday brunchlicious!!

10%20chicks%20memeMartina.jpg
Martina McBride

Ok, now that I'm feeling good. I need some exercise. She can take me in 3 sets... or more.

10%20chicks%20memeMaria.jpeg
Maria Sharapova

Am I just being too naughty here? So sue me. Please? I'd agree in a heartbeat to have our dispute settled. In her forum:

10%20chicks%20memeJudgeMilian.jpg
Judge Marilyn Milian of The People's Court

And now I am at a loss for transitions. Her beauty just dumbfounds me. But feel free to add your own Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon joke:

10%20chicks%20memezhang%20ziyi.jpg
Zhang Ziyi

BUT, I would drop ALL of these in a heartbeat for this girl next door. Maybe I've spent too much of my life in a cubicle. Whatever the origin of my total head-over-heels obsession with her, I know that I'd even be happy living in a refrigerator box with her in some Downtown alley...

Jenna "I Love BusyDad" Fischer (I just want my name associated with her somehow on Google)

HEY wait! That's only 8...

FURY, come here! Help your dad out please!!

Li'l Fury's celebrity puppy love:

The other day I happened upon my son totally mesemerized by something on TV:

080121%203.jpg 

Looks like he's got the "I love bad-ass chicks" gene too:

10%20chicks%20memeClover.jpg
Clover from Totally Spies

And now, thanks to his other celebrity crush, we have drama every night at bedtime because he laments the fact that we don't live in Australia:

10%20chicks%20memebindi.jpg
Bindi the Jungle Girl

 So, there you have it! The men of the BusyDad household have spilled their guts. If anyone has any connection to Jenna Fischer or Bindi Irwin, please let us know. We would be forever in your debt. Happy hopping!

You lost me at the People's Court, dude.
KEEP BELIEVING
-----
[BusyDad] Hey now! Judge Milian rules! Don't be dissin the People's Court. (No I haven't left the house yet).

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMmmBeer

I am with mmmbeer.. u TOTALLY lost me with the Judge. LOL.. Zhang is flawless though.

Your picture of Fury killed me.. that is great.. def must have that daddy gene.. :)
-----
[Soon to be BuzzeeDad] I think the ability to wield authority is so sexy! The judge regulates like no other. I love that. The daddy gene of being too easily distracted? yes. haha!

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKim

True to Buzzee Dad form, you appear to appreciate many different types of beauty. And how sweet of you to consider Fury's tastes, too.

Off to blog hop some more...
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Thanks for not dissing the Judge like every other comment I've gotten tonight!

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterbimmgee

Ok...so I totally get why you picked most of these chicks (even I would sleep with Kat Von D given the chance) BUT....

JUDGE MARILYN????????

Bwahahahahaha!!!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] So mean!!! all of you! leave my judge alone *sniff*

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLunaNik

The picture of Fury and his Totally Spies obsession was priceless!

I'm not going to say a word about your judge...
-----
[BusyDad] Thank you! I know it took a lot of restraint.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJen in MI

Wow. I think have a crush on Zhang Ziyi. But let's just keep that between you and me, ok?
-----
[BusyDad] I won't tell a soul. Promise ;)

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDrunken Honey

People Court...REALLY!!!

Oh...BTW you stink!!! Going out in the REAL WORLD!!! You lucky guy... Whats That Like???
-----
[BusyDad] Wow... it was incredible. I'm gonna try to do it again next year.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterA Man Among Mommies

I'm just glad you didn't say Judge Wapner, then I would have been concerned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Wapner - in case you have no stinking clue what I'm talking about.

As a girl, I think your selections are warranted, they are totally hawt, dude.
-----
[BusyDad] Judge Wapner, the original no BS judge. I grew up watching him preside over People's Court. Loved him. Not hot though. Nope.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterFine as Wine

Zhang Ziyi is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen - unfortunately not really a bad-ass bone in her body. Unless you count all that ass kicking she does.
-----
[BusyDad] Even with the help of CGI, beating up bad guys is pretty badass.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterzoeyjane

mmmmm...Jenna Ficsher. Nice meme. Bloghopping and happy to be back on the wagon. In true Hulk style "Me Love Beer! Smash!" Christ, I need to go to bed. Laterz!

T-Dubs the drunken hopper of blogs
-----
[BusyDad] Glad to have you back on (or off in our case) the wagon T-Dubs!

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterterancedubya

OK. I agree with most of your obsessions, even the judge lady (kinda)...maybe after a long night of blog hoppin :) However, Bad-Ass is hot! Kat Von D can tattoo me anytime!
-----
[BusyDad] Haha Blog Hopping goggles perhaps?

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBooze Clues

I was out in the real world tonight drinking much much wine. You are no doubt still there, since I'm three hours ahead of your time zone. I can barely type. But I can say thta Zhang Ziyi is totoally amazing, and I might even fight you for her if I were into that kind of thing. Or whatever. I can't make sense. But your list is great. Except for the judge. ???!?
-----
[BusyDad] Haha nothing I love more than slurred type filled comments from tipsy visitors. Love it! Glad you had a real world fun time too!

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMommyTime

I totally get the Judge thing. She's hot in an authoritarian kinda way, and with the red lipstick, it makes you think...

And Jenna Fischer? I would TOTALLY do her.
----
[BusyDad] OK. You officially ROCK.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterA Whole Lot of Nothing

Hope you're having a great time in the real world! I'm so jealous!

Happy Blog Hoppin' Saturday!
"Margarita Mom"
-----
[BusyDad] Life throws me a bone every once in a while. But you know what? I totally missed blog hopping. Funny eh? or is it sad?

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterStacey

LOL. This seems to be a theme tonight. Just reposted mine on Twitter but I only got five, darnit! And one is a tossup.
-----
[BusyDad] I gotta go check it out. Is it as much a tossup as my judge? haha.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMrs. Flinger

I did NOT get tagged with this meme yet. I did that list totally of my own accord. Because I am a dork. Who stays at home. With THREE kids. And my husband works 80 hours a week. And I like boys.

PS I would like to make you an honorary VD mixtape, if I mat be so bold. Now that you've seen me in my scivies and all.
-----
[BusyDad] I appreciate a bold chick and I like music. Permission to be bold!

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMr Lady

i get the (w)hole kat von d thing, but really, no dudes? where's your sense of adventure man?

obviously it's 12:28am and my ol'lady & i are blog hopping under the influence.

you need to add cool hand luke to your list.
-----
[BusyDad] OK, since we're being open, bold and drunk, I will add an honorable dude crush just for you: Tony Soprano.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterstruglas

Maria Sharapova..
I'm there Brutha..

-----
[BusyDad] Hope you had a good hoppin time. Yeah, ultra sports hottie.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDarrin

Well, as a woman I can only say....Good luck with that.

BTW - I tossed you an award in honor of your Blog Hopping creation. Thanks for the excuse to keep and consume more vodka!
-----
[BusyDad] Thank you thank you! Woo hoo! Being recognized as someone who has furthered the field of weekend drinking is a true honor.

February 2, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

I was with you until the People's Court chick. Maybe it's the rule breaker in you. I love that your kid has the bad ass gene. LOVE that!
-----
[BusyDad] Maybe I like to be put in my place? ;) Yeah, Fury's badass gene is pretty cool. It'll probably be a headache once he's in high school though...

February 3, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterGeneral Nonsense

if you give in to fury and move to australia, bring me with you. I have an inexplicable affinity for things australian. Make it Melbourne though, sydney likes the wrong code of football.
-----
[BusyDad] Oh yeah - you and your Australia obsession, ha. Some things you can't explain. Apparently like my fondness for Judge Milian.

February 3, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterPG

Fury likes the outdoorsy type, eh? *lol*
-----
[BusyDad] I think he likes the fact that there's a girl out there who isn't afraid of spiders.

February 3, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMaria

That picture of your son is the best. like father like son. LOL. You are in trouble. You know this, yes?
-----
[BusyDad] heh... I've known that for a Loooong Time.

February 3, 2008 | Unregistered CommentermommyOH!!!

Dude.....the JUDGE is a stone cold fox. Peace, Mike.
-----
[BusyDad] FINALLY. Validation. Thank you!
