My sister-in-law and I were at WonderCon on Friday and somehow we got on the topic of \u201cCheat Sheets.\u201d<\/p>\n
And no, I\u2019m not talking about the school variety.<\/p>\n
The \u201cCheat Sheet\u201d I\u2019m referring to is a list of people you\u2019re allowed to get it on with and your significant other can\u2019t hold it against you.\u00a0 You both get one and the list is full of people you don\u2019t even remotely stand a chance with.\u00a0 For example, Robert Downey Jr. and Christian Bale are on my SIL\u2019s list.\u00a0 Isla Fisher and Gretchen Mole are on my brother\u2019s list.\u00a0 They are only allowed 5 each.<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019ve written a number of articles about sexy women, the 2 most popular being 10 Hottest Babes of Sci-Fi<\/a> and Maxim’s Hot 100 Lucky 13<\/a>\u00a0but I have yet to write a post about nerd-worthy sexy men.\u00a0 This kind of blows my mind. It also got me thinking about my own list and who would be on it.\u00a0 I certainly know it when I see it if I\u2019d hit it\u2026but can I narrow it down to a list?<\/p>\n It\u2019s was a difficult challenge but one that I was willing to accept.<\/p>\n Yeesh my job really sucks sometimes \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n After much thought, meditation and Google image searching, I\u2019ve put together my Cheat Sheet. I couldn\u2019t narrow it down to 5 so I get 7.\u00a0 Because I\u2019m HNG and I say so.\u00a0 So there.\u00a0 Naturally everyone on my list fits nicely into the nerd \u2018verse….cause that’s all I ever pay attention to anyways…ahem. \u00a0Sorry if you don’t bat for this team and it’s not your kind of list. \u00a0I’m an equal opportunity sexy list maker and I can’t (nay won’t!) neglect the fans who will appreciate this.<\/p>\n So without further ado, here’s my list in alphabetical order:<\/p>\n Orlando Bloom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I studied for my college finals every December for 3 years in a row while waiting in the 5+ hour line for opening day of the latest Lord of the Rings<\/em> movie.\u00a0 I graduated Cum Laude so I must have been doing something right.\u00a0 The first time I saw Legolas on screen I was 100% convinced that I was going to marry him one day.\u00a0 Then all the teeny boppers jumped on that bandwagon (especially once Pirates of the\u00a0Caribbean<\/em>\u00a0came out) and it turned me off big time.\u00a0 But still, I can\u2019t help it.\u00a0 I think he\u2019s adorable.\u00a0 Thankfully most of those teeny boppers have moved on to RPatz.\u00a0 I used to see Orlando outside my work sometimes, once with Dominic Monaghan (and cue borderline creepy stalker pic) and my heart would still leap into my throat.\u00a0 So he stays on the list.<\/p>\n Nathan Fillion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Does this one really need an explanation?\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think so.\u00a0 But I\u2019ll give one anyway.\u00a0 Actually, I wrote a whole blog about it<\/a> back when HNG was brand spankin\u2019 new\u00a0and I stand by it.\u00a0 But aside from the fact that he\u2019s Malcolm Reynolds, Captain Hammer, Richard Castle, The Holy Avenger, etc etc etc…Nathan himself has an amazing sense of humor.\u00a0 I don\u2019t pay much attention to my Twitter<\/a> account (although I probably should) but every once in a while I go on and just read back through his tweets for fun.\u00a0 I\u2019m often told that I look like Stana Katic, Nathan\u2019s source of sexual tension on Castle<\/em>.\u00a0 I disagree about the physical similarities but I would gladly trade places with her and experience some of that sexual tension for myself. ….please….?<\/p>\n Tom Hardy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Five of the men on this list are foreigners with deliciously sexy foreign accents.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m as proud an American as they come, but GD I love a good accent.\u00a0 There\u2019s a scene in This Means War <\/em>when Reese Witherspoon meets Tom Hardy for the first time and she asks him to say something again because it sounds so awesome.\u00a0 I could not have said it better myself.\u00a0 Tom Hardy first came to my attention as the Captain Picard clone in Star Trek: Nemesis<\/em>.\u00a0 I went to see it on opening day with about ten guy friends.\u00a0 About five minutes into the movie I started crying (because I\u2019m a movie psychic and I\u2019d already figured out what would happen to Data) much to the horror of every guy I was with.\u00a0\u00a0 I will never forget the moment when the friend next to me asked me if I was ok and I looked over and saw ten grown men staring at me like I had tentacles sprouting from my face.\u00a0 It was HI-larious.\u00a0 But I digress.\u00a0 The other thing that stood out was Tom.\u00a0 He\u2019s been charming me ever since, crooked teeth and all. Seriously, he was my very favorite character in Inception.\u00a0<\/em>I think I\u2019m the only person on the planet that isn\u2019t looking forward to seeing him as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises<\/em>. \u00a0I know he\u2019s going to be brilliant but the thought of him like that just makes me cringe.\u00a0 But I\u2019ll still watch it.\u00a0 Over and over and over again.<\/p>\n Chris Hemsworth<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
