The Laminated List

Who’s on Yours?

As submitted to the Urban Dictionary by Bob Rauscher on Apr 14, 2004, The Laminated List is:

A list of the top 5 people, usually celebrities, with whom you could have sex with without repercussions, if the opportunity arose, regardless of whether you were in a relationship or not.

In other words, if my DH saved Halle Berry from choking at the food court and she wanted to repay his … attentions … with some of her own, there would be no repercussions. Because, damn, if I got a shot at her, I wouldn’t hesitate either. Likewise, he knows there are a few people that if I had a chance at, I wouldn’t hesitate. He’s okay with that.

Of course, we're talking about fantasy lovers. The men and women who fill our daydreams whenyour sweetie doesn't. The odds that I'll ever meet anyone on my laminated list are tiny. The odds that I could end up in bed with one are tinier still. (It’s really best if your laminated list is made up of people you don’t have any chance of having sex with. Orlando Bloom, good – unless he lives on your block. Your mailman, not so much.) But isn't it fun to think about?

So – regardless of your relationship status, if you were stuck in an elevator with Mr. X or Ms. Y, who would you jump in a hot second?

Keep in mind that the list doesn't really have to be laminated -- if yours does, I don't need to hear about it -- so you can change it any time. Here are my current favorites:

Keith Olbermann. His voice. His face. His clothes. His big giant brain. Oh, yeah, I’d hit that.

(Did I mention I’m kind of a political junkie?)

Keith Szarabajka. I know you don’t know who he is unless you watched Angel. But he’s hot!

Matthew Gray Gubler. Which is shameful, really, because I’m old enough to be his mother. Or to teach him a few things.

Bill Pullman. In the right age group, multi-talented, aging very nicely, and so damn charming!

Robert Lansing. If he wasn’t dead. Say, the 1980’s Equalizer Lansing. The face, the voice … and damn, watch his hands some time!

Okay, so now that you know way more about me than you probably wanted to – fess up! Who’s on your list? C’mon, it’s Friday, you know you want to tell!
