FOFC Sex Symbol Draft - picks thread

[st.cronin]

Let the games begin! The rules are discussed in the previous thread, FOFC Sex Symbol Draft (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=65370).

Please make your picks by copying the below list and placing your selection next to the appropriate category. Bold your current selection and keep your selections through each round. I will also try to keep this thread up to date with current selections.

1. Celebrity Singer
2. Celebrity Actor
3. Celebrity No-Talent
4. Celebrity Athlete
5. Appeals to Younger Men
5. Appeals to Younger Women
7. Appeals to Older Men
8. Appeals to Older Women
9. Fictional (Literary)
10. Fictional (Theatrical)


Label your selection like so:

Celebrity no-talent, 1.1, jb magic

The selection order for the first round, determined by random.org, will be:

PurdueBrad
Radii
lordscarlet
wade moore
Surtt
Lathum
Mustang
bsak16
CU Tiger/KWhit
Izulde

This is a serpentine draft, so in the second round (and all even rounds) Scoobz will pick first, CU Tiger second, etc.

Notes:

No sex symbol may be selected twice. One way this might work is, picking Bart Simpson in the theatrical category would make Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart) ineligible. I will make the final decision on whether a pick is valid or not.

After you make your pick, please pm the next person on the list to remind them that they are up. I have lists from most participants, but I will give them a chance to make their own pick, unless they specifically tell me they won't be around.

With that, PurdueBrad is up!

[st.cronin]

PurdueBrad's pick:

1. Celebrity Singer
2. Celebrity Actor
3. Celebrity No-Talent
4. Celebrity Athlete
5. Appeals to Younger Men
5. Appeals to Younger Women, 1.1, Shia LeBouf
7. Appeals to Older Men
8. Appeals to Older Women
9. Fictional (Literary)
10. Fictional (Theatrical)

Radii is now up.

[Lathum]

let the second guessings begin!

[lordscarlet]

Wow.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Shia LeBouf is the FIRST PICK OVERALL in the "FOFC Sex Symbol Draft"?

This is a dark, dark day for this board...

I feel ashamed for each of my 9,007 posts to date.

[albionmoonlight]

______ ______ was halfway to the stage before the pick was announced and she wasn't it.

[Dr. Sak]

He should turn in his man card now.

[Lathum]

Makes my Danny Heatly pick look pretty good.

[law90026]

I thought that category would have been relatively easy to fill (depending on what "Younger Women" meant) without needing a top pick (that seems iffy anyways). Seems like a bit of a reach here.

[st.cronin]

I have Radii's pick:

1. Celebrity Singer
2. Celebrity Actor, 1.2, Marilyn Monroe
3. Celebrity No-Talent
4. Celebrity Athlete
5. Appeals to Younger Men
5. Appeals to Younger Women
7. Appeals to Older Men
8. Appeals to Older Women
9. Fictional (Literary)
10. Fictional (Theatrical)

Lordscarlet is up!

[Lathum]

Not the catergory I would have used her in but just having her in your stable is huge

[wade moore]

I figured Marilyn would be 1.1 - nice grab for Radii.

[st.cronin]

Note: I have a pretty busy morning, but will be around this evening.

[BrianD]

The #2 pick is pretty solid. You knew she would go early.

[lordscarlet]

Not the catergory I would have used her in but just having her in your stable is huge

I'm not sure where else you would put her unless you try to be overly clever.

[st.cronin]

Not the catergory I would have used her in but just having her in your stable is huge

Great use of that word. :D

[Honolulu_Blue]

Makes my Danny Heatly pick look pretty good.

Classic! :D

[st.cronin]

One other note: If my inbox here fills up, please use my gmail account. Same username at gmail.

[albionmoonlight]

Monroe was who I figured would be walking up to the stage adjusting her PurdueBrad cap when LaBouf's name was called.

[lordscarlet]

I am very uncertain of this pick, particularly since I'm not up again until 2.7, but...

Celebrity Singer
Celebrity Actor
Celebrity No-Talent
Celebrity Athlete
Appeals to Younger Men
Appeals to Younger Women
Appeals to Older Men
Appeals to Older Women
Fictional (Literary)
Fictional (Theatrical), 1.3, Princess Leia Organa

[Mustang]

Well, this draft has completely gone in a direction I didn't expect.

[BrianD]

Good pick for that category, but probably too high overall.

[Maple Leafs]

5. Appeals to Younger Women, 1.1, Shia LeBouf
Cool, I didn't know this draft was being run in reverse order. Neat twist.

[albionmoonlight]

When my brother in law was a kid, they had their first Thanksgiving after Jedi came out, and they were all going around the table saying what they were thankful for that year, and, in complete kid innocence, he said, "I am thankful that I got to see Princess Leia's boobies."

[lordscarlet]

Good pick for that category, but probably too high overall.

That's what I'm afraid of. We'll see how the category (and in particular, the other categories) plays out.

[wade moore]

I'm here. Dealing with a couple of work things then I'll make a pick.

[MikeVic]

Yeesh, first pick?

[PurdueBrad]

Shia LeBouf is the FIRST PICK OVERALL in the "FOFC Sex Symbol Draft"?

This is a dark, dark day for this board...

I feel ashamed for each of my 9,007 posts to date.

Yeah, I hear you BUT my students have sworn to me that this is a very solid pick considering a lack of depth in that category. In fact, they had trouble coming up with more than three decent selections for the category.

And yeah, as for me, a HUGE Marilyn Monroe fan, it hurt not to select her.

[PurdueBrad]

Oh, and it really hurt picking a freakin' guy first too.

[hoopsguy]

I'm here. Dealing with a couple of work things then I'll make a pick.

I'm sure you'll have to go back to the drawing board now that LaBeouf is no longer available.

[wade moore]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Wenuszmf.jpg/110px-Wenuszmf.jpg

1. Celebrity Singer
2. Celebrity Actor
3. Celebrity No-Talent, 1.4, Venus de Milo
4. Celebrity Athlete
5. Appeals to Younger Men
6. Appeals to Younger Women
7. Appeals to Older Men
8. Appeals to Older Women
9. Fictional (Literary)
10. Fictional (Theatrical), 1.3, Princess Leia Organa


Considered by many to be the classic beauty. This may be a stretch of a pick, but if you are talking about all-time sex-symbols I'm not sure if there is anyone higher in the rankings.

[MikeVic]

Yeah I don't know, I guess everyone I'm thinking of could be considered appealing to older women rather than younger.

[lordscarlet]

Yeah I don't know, I guess everyone I'm thinking of could be considered appealing to older women rather than younger.

The naming of that category has some serious issues. :)

[BrianD]

OK, let's hear it...who went 4 for 4 on their mock draft lists? Did anybody get more than 1 of the top 4 right?

[KWhit]

Oh, and it really hurt picking a freakin' guy first too.

Maybe I'm missing how this game is played.

At the end of the draft, don't people here at FOFC vote on the winner based upon their opinions of the selections made?

If my understanding of the rules is correct, I contend that the FOFC voters wouldn't give a shit if you have Shia LeBouf or Larry the Cable Guy for that category.

[KWhit]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Wenuszmf.jpg/110px-Wenuszmf.jpg



Are you crazy? The bitch has no arms!!!

And I hear she's cold and stiff in bed and does nothing but lay there.

[Maple Leafs]

I asked if anybody thought 1.1 was a bad pick, and even 1.4 raised her hand.

[johnnyshaka]

Are you crazy? The bitch has no arms!!!

And I hear she's cold and stiff in bed and does nothing but lay there.

BUT...she doesn't talk!!!

[wade moore]

Are you crazy? The bitch has no arms!!!

And I hear she's cold and stiff in bed and does nothing but lay there.

;).

I was definitely free in my definition of "sex-symbol". It all depends on how the voters define the term. If they define it as "viewed as a sex-symbol" vs. "I'd like to bone them" I'm in good shape. Sadly for me, I think there's a good chance they go for the latter.

I likely over-thought this one.

Yeah. It seems to me that we should have been required to pick more guys, actually. It's always good to make it as hard as possible on the drafters. :)

[Surtt]

1. Celebrity Singer
2. Celebrity Actor
3. Celebrity No-Talent
4. Celebrity Athlete - 1.5 Anna Kournikova

8. Appeals to Older Women
9. Fictional (Literary)
10. Fictional (Theatrical)

[wade moore]

I think this is the draft with the least "obvious" early picks ever.

It's also the most free draft I remember, which I'm actually not a huge fan of - but it should be interesting.

[Mustang]

Anna K would have been a great choice for the 'No Talent' category

[Maple Leafs]

It seems to me that we should have been required to pick more guys, actually. It's always good to make it as hard as possible ...
Um...

weird, I didn't know PB's class was voting.

[Mustang]

Nice one Lathum.. that was going to be my pick.

[lordscarlet]

Great pick. However, I don't know how it will play with the voters. I definitely considered it.

[Surtt]

Anna K would have been a great choice for the 'No Talent' category

Ouch....

I wish I would have thought of that.

Ouch....

I can confirm that Wade did. :)

[lordscarlet]

OK. Seriously people. pix plz k thx.

[lordscarlet]

I think Mustang is getting help from Bucc. ;) Great pick, if perhaps a little early.

[Radii]

Interesting Start. There will obviously be a ton of personal preference showing in this draft, possibly more than in any other, but i have to say that my own top 10, possibly top 20 are all still on the board halfway through the first round so I'm pretty happy ;)

Leia is a very intriguing pick. Probably early but also seems pretty likely to be considered the top pick in the category. the other 3 so far, even Kournikova, seem pretty suprising.

[KWhit]

WTF people!??!?!

This is a sex symbol draft.

We're like 10 picks in and there is exactly one person drafted so far that I would have sex with.

AND I AM SO NOT PICKY AT ALL!!!!

[KWhit]

(Okay - 2 now that Eva Longoria was picked).

[Logan]

Elvis was a great pick, even as a dude. Should've been at worst #2 behind Marilyn. I mean, I wasn't around for it, but isn't it true that parents forbid their daughters from watching/listening to rock and roll music because of his sex symbol status? That deserves plenty of weight.

[Logan]

You and Shia would be a cute couple.

I have to run an errand on my lunch break - be back in an hour or so.

I think this is the mistake. "Sex Symbol" does not mean "I think she's hot." These people should be more than that -- even if you don't find them attractive. They should be accepted as an embodiment of sexual desire for a culture/generation. That's my opinion at least.

[Surtt]

Actually I have never been much of a fan of hers (Kournikova).
I just popped back over and saw I was up so I went with what I thought was the obvious one for the category. Maybe I am a few years behind the curve on this one.

[rkmsuf]

Given the fact the participants in this draft have never had sex, I guess the oddball picks aren't that suprising.

[Subby]

Wow I don't want to know what kind of shit wade has in his closet.

[Lathum]

Elvis was a great pick, even as a dude. Should've been at worst #2 behind Marilyn. I mean, I wasn't around for it, but isn't it true that parents forbid their daughters from watching/listening to rock and roll music because of his sex symbol status? That deserves plenty of weight.

thanks. I was a little worried about the generation gap, but if you don't know that Elvis basicly defined sex symbol along with Monroe then by all means vote for Shia.

I was torn between 2 picks, my other one is still there.

My post was half tongue in cheek, but I am wildly surprised at some of the choices. I mainly just like to tweak the contestants in these things because that's part of the fun, IMO.

[lordscarlet]

thanks. I was a little worried about the generation gap, but if you don't know that Elvis basicly defined sex symbol along with Monroe then by all means vote for Shia.

I was torn between 2 picks, my other one is still there.

My only concern with picking Elvis was the horny guy factor. I'm not sure how male picks outside of the categories that obviously require males is going to play.

[rkmsuf]

Wow I don't want to know what kind of shit wade has in his closet.

sex with statues is big these days

[Danny]

Great choice with Elvis. There's more than enough hot girls left for other spots to satisfy the horny guy factor.

[lordscarlet]

Great choice with Elvis. There's more than enough hot girls left for other spots to satisfy the horny guy factor.

I agree, but we'll see. :) Honestly I had him in mind and then forgot when it came time to pick (that's what happens when there's 5 days between signup and actual draft :) )

[Dr. Sak]

I'll say it right now...I am only picking people I would have sex with as far as women go.

Judging by the voters here I think that most will vote based on the head not on their shoulder.

[Dr. Sak]

Not if i choose lesbians.

Editing my above claim.

[lordscarlet]

I'll say it right now...I am only picking people I would have sex with as far as women go.

Judging by the voters here I think that most will vote based on the head not on their shoulder.

I'm not saying you should pick Nancy Reagan, but just being willing to have sex with someone does not mean they are a good selection.

[Dr. Sak]

I'm not saying you should pick Nancy Reagan, but just being willing to have sex with someone does not mean they are a good selection.

To each their own. I think your selection was stupid but that doesn't mean it won't appeal to others.

[rkmsuf]

how can you be a sex symbol but generally regarded as substandard to sleep with?

[Izulde]

Bah, my #1 choice got taken already.

Now I'll have to revisit my board.

[lordscarlet]

how can you be a sex symbol but generally regarded as substandard to sleep with?

You are mixing my logic. There are individuals that are sex symbols and desirable to sleep with, and there are individuals that are merely desirable to sleep with.

[Lathum]

Bah, my #1 choice got taken already.

Now I'll have to revisit my board.

wow, what are the odds 2 people would have Shia on their board

[rkmsuf]

You are mixing my logic. There are individuals that are sex symbols and desirable to sleep with, and there are individuals that are merely desirable to sleep with.

ah, got it

[Dr. Sak]

wow, what are the odds 2 people would have Shia on their board

I bet he has Chewbacca as #2.

[lordscarlet]

And, fwiw, the early front runners and head scratchers are rarely the same by the end of the draft.

[Lathum]

My wife and I occupied a good part of our 10 hour car ride home yesterday with discussing this draft.

I think there will be alot more room for interpretation in this one. Especialy the appeals to older/younger catergories.

[korme]

Some interesting choices here so far. Wish I would have gotten in on this.

[lordscarlet]

My wife and I occupied a good part of our 10 hour car ride home yesterday with discussing this draft.

I think there will be alot more room for interpretation in this one. Especialy the appeals to older/younger catergories.

By far. There's a lot more subjectivity, differences in taste and lack of restrictions in this draft compared to previous ones. I have no idea how picks are going to be interpreted or strategies are going to play out. There are a lot of strategies that I think are questionable but could end up as big wins (that I have not seen anyone employ yet). I think the "big picture" is going to be the key here. There are very few clear-cut first round picks. 1.2 was an obvious one -- Elvis potentially (but as discussed, still a possible bad choice). I can only think of 1 or 2 other clear-cut first round selections. And people will still argue with those 1 or 2.

[Lathum]

I am pretty surprised my other top pick is still there.

[Dr. Sak]

I am pretty surprised my other top pick is still there.

I am taking Danny Heatley sorry.

[lordscarlet]

Yeah, there are some very good picks still available.

[lordscarlet]

Hm. CU Tiger has not logged on to the board since May 22. :(

[Lathum]

Hm. CU Tiger has not logged on to the board since May 22. :(

that may be a problem.

Maybe Cronin should let Shorty take his place

[Mustang]

Hm. CU Tiger has not logged on to the board since May 22. :(

That'll grind the draft to a halt.

[Honolulu_Blue]

My wife and I occupied a good part of our 10 hour car ride home yesterday with discussing this draft.

Did you discuss the hockey draft with your wife as well?

[lordscarlet]

that may be a problem.

Maybe Cronin should let Shorty take his place

That'll grind the draft to a halt.

Yeah, I wrote st.cronin but he said he'll be busy today, so I don't know when we'll have a response. bsak wrote CU, so maybe he'll get an email triggering him to login.

[Dr. Sak]

Lordscarlet I can assure you that your next pick, Barbaro, will be there when the draft comes back to you. Calm down :)

[lordscarlet]

#1) I'm quite confused by bsak's venom for my pick. :)
#2) It occurs to me that cronin said to email him. I will do that.

[rkmsuf]

He should get a member of the Golden Girls each pick he misses. Then you move on to the male leads of Cocoon(not Guttenberg).

[st.cronin]

If Shorty (or anybody else) wants to take CU's place, that's fine. I'm sending shorty a pm now.

[CU Tiger]

Im here....long weekend gone bad

[st.cronin]

Ah, well, never mind everybody. :D

[Logan]

You made a good pick though.

[Izulde]

Off to run an errand. I'll be back soonish, maybe an hour or so, so cronin, you won't need to make my picks. I'm doing some changeup anyway.

[Radii]

Celebrity singer - Madonna


I probably would have taken Madonna for my 2nd or 3rd pick if she had lasted. Good pick.

[lordscarlet]

Damn.. Shorty's too slow. CU took my next pick. :)

[BrianD]

Madonna is an interesting pick. I've never really found her all that attractive, but there is no arguing that she isn't a sex symbol.

[Logan]

I'm sure this does absolutely nothing for everyone, but when I vote, I'll be voting based on what a "sex symbol" is, and not on hotness (except for Elvis...I love him chubby).

[lordscarlet]

Madonna is an interesting pick. I've never really found her all that attractive, but there is no arguing that she isn't a sex symbol.

Exactly. She was never attractive to me, but she is, in my opinion, the #1 female sex symbol (in the singer category).

[lordscarlet]

I'm sure this does absolutely nothing for everyone, but when I vote, I'll be voting based on what a "sex symbol" is, and not on hotness (except for Elvis...I love him chubby).

+1

[CU Tiger]

Madonna is an interesting pick. I've never really found her all that attractive, but there is no arguing that she isn't a sex symbol.

I agree 100%....she has never done it for me, except for her attitude, but physically nothing...but she is the definitive sex symbol of the 80s imho.

[Lathum]

Exactly. She was never attractive to me, but she is, in my opinion, the #1 female sex symbol (in the singer category).

at least from our generation. The early 30 somethings

[rkmsuf]

There's no possible way if you were in the zone of young adulthood in the 80's you didn't beat off to madonna.

[lordscarlet]

at least from our generation. The early 30 somethings

Who do you take me for? I'm not 30 yet! :)

Having said that, what are the majority of the voters? I would say they are primarily children of the 80s and 90s, when Madonna was the definition of a sex symbol.

[Radii]

There's no possible way if you were in the zone of young adulthood in the 80's you didn't beat off to madonna.

this.

[korme]

Yep, I was too slow. Glad to see I wasn't too fast though as CU still gets to play :)

[Izulde]

Back! Making picks now.

Arguably the hottest and most alluring of all the Victoria's Secret models, one who has a strong cult following among both men and women. Can you really go wrong with an Angel? :D Fits the No-Talent category because she's only known for her modeling.

[wade moore]

Modeling is a talent imo.

9. Fictional (Literary)
10. Fictional (Theatrical)

A major sex-symbol for women and a talented actor of his day. Although I've only seen him in his film adaptation of one of my favorite novels, he's got that appeal and he's not too shabby an actor from what limited body I've seen of his work.

[Lathum]

I have no idea who that is, but then again, I never worked at Victoria Secret

[Lathum]

dola- love the Redford pick

[Izulde]

Modeling is a talent imo.

I personally agree, but for most people, modeling isn't a talent.

[lordscarlet]

I have no idea who that is, but then again, I never worked at Victoria Secret

Shew. I'm not the only one.

dola- love the Redford pick

Agreed. Definitively in the top of that category.

[johnnyshaka]

I have no idea who that is, but then again, I never worked at Victoria Secret

Ditto. Had to google her and, for me at least, that would eliminate her from being a sex symbol.

Just my two cents as an observer...

[BrianD]

Ditto. Had to google her and, for me at least, that would eliminate her from being a sex symbol.

Just my two cents as an observer...

I'll have to Google her as well, but it could still be a solid pick. I'm sure I recognize more VS models than I can name so I'll withhold judgment.

[rkmsuf]

So Izulde hits a homerun when picking a man but completely whiffs on selecting a woman.

This draft is going right to form.

[lordscarlet]

I'll have to Google her as well, but it could still be a solid pick. I'm sure I recognize more VS models than I can name so I'll withhold judgment.

But shouldn't a "Sex Symbol" be universally recognized? Or at least recognized by many people?

[BrianD]

dola- love the Redford pick

Agreed, very strong pick. I could see arguments for one or two others in that category, but Redford is a good choice.

[BrianD]

But shouldn't a "Sex Symbol" be universally recognized? Or at least recognized by many people?

Should probably be recognized by face at least. I can think of a few people that I might draft without knowing/remembering their names. If this chick is generally the face of VS, that might be enough. If the voters Google her and still don't recognize her...that could be trouble.

[Izulde]

So Izulde hits a homerun when picking a man but completely whiffs on selecting a woman.

This draft is going right to form.

FWIW, I had Kournikova as my top pick, but she got taken already.

[Izulde]

dola,

I suspect a lot more people will recognize Adriana when they see her image.

[cuervo72]

This draft is like a train wreck.

I'm wondering how good of a list I might be able to come up with after the draft of those not taken. ;) But then, there's a lot of drafting to go.

[lordscarlet]

I'm wondering how good of a list I might be able to come up with after the draft of those not taken. ;) But then, there's a lot of drafting to go.

It always seems that way at the beginning (and often at the end ;) ). This draft in particular seems very open to personal tastes.

*waits for cuervo to start a redhead sex symbol draft*

[Lathum]

Just googled her.

She is hot but typical model type

[rkmsuf]

It always seems that way at the beginning (and often at the end ;) ). This draft in particular seems very open to personal tastes.

sex symbol may be a difficult to thing to define across generations

[johnnyshaka]

dola,

I suspect a lot more people will recognize Adriana when they see her image.

I think the point I'm after is that there are several models I picture on the cover of Victoria's Secret before your girl. Maybe that's because I'm in my 30's...who knows? Had there been a category like "Future Sex Symbol" where you pick somebody "current" who you think has a good shot to be the next great sex symbol...then, maybe your girl may seem like a solid pick.

Again, just my two cents...

2 great picks

do it

[Surtt]

sex symbol may be a difficult to thing to define across generations

Yeah, I think one crowd was expecting the current Hollywood who's who
while the other is looking at it from a more historical perspective.

[Radii]

good picks from CU Tiger and bsak.

[lordscarlet]

8. Appeals to Older Women - 2.3 James Dean


He was on my list. Farrah Fawcet was not, but should have been.

[BrianD]

2 solid picks from CU Tiger so far

I think I like the Madonna pick better than the Farrah pick. I think he skipped over a few top choices in that category.

[rkmsuf]

I think I like the Madonna pick better than the Farrah pick. I think he skipped over a few top choices in that category.

I can think of one obvious one over farrah.

[Kevin]

As an old codger, I definitely preferred ****** to Farrah.

[Lathum]

I think I like the Madonna pick better than the Farrah pick. I think he skipped over a few top choices in that category.

I have one ahead of her but not by much

[Lathum]

As an old codger, I definitely preferred Jaclyn to Farrah.

who is Jacklyn?

if it is someone yet to be picked that is generaly considered bad form.

[KWhit]

Old codgers like young hotties, too, right?

[BrianD]

I have one ahead of her but not by much

I'm going to try to remember this and bring it back up if/when this person comes out. I've got a guess as to who this might be and I agree with your assessment. One other I've got farther ahead...we'll see if that one comes out at all.

[cuervo72]

Farrah is not what she used to be. There are others from that era who have fared much better, IMO.

[cuervo72]

Hold on...my guess is Lathum is using "Pussy Galore" from the James Bond films as his selection.

That's why I asked the question.

ok, I edited my post to show I was attempting to make a play on words, I thought James Bond was the obvious pick. To be honest, I have never seen Pussy Galore or any other bond Movie, I had no ide that was even a charectures name.

[Surtt]

LOL, I was wondering how long it would take.

[Mustang]

I thought that the athlete category had the most potential to go the 'hot young female' route...

[wade moore]

LOL, I was wondering how long it would take.

One of the single hottest photos of all time imo.

[Lathum]

we need Schmidty here to claim he wouldn't touch her

[BrianD]

Allison is an interesting choice. Isn't she pretty much only known on Internet message boards? Of course the people voting all hang out on Internet message boards...

I never heard of her

Same here. Unbelievably hot, but not famous enough to be a top selection, IMO.

[rkmsuf]

Same here. Unbelievably hot, but not famous enough to be a top selection, IMO.

she's not really a sex symbol per se


she's hot yes but this isn't hot or not

[wade moore]

Same here. Unbelievably hot, but not famous enough to be a top selection, IMO.

I'm surprised that anyone on FOFC hasn't heard of her to be honest. There was a period of a month or so where she was all over this place.

[Mustang]

I never heard of her

I bet if it was Al Stokke you would have.

;)

[MikeVic]

She's super hot.

[wade moore]

fwiw - part of the reason i had pulled out of this draft was I knew I was going to struggle at a good strategy as my opinions on this vary greatly from the community. But, I love drafts and didn't want it to be held up being a man short - so I stepped up to the plate.

So, I may fail miserably - we'll see.

[rkmsuf]

I'd argue strongly that she is a sex symbol for a small audience, of which the voters are all (mostly?) members, so it's a good pick in my eyes.

Ok, so for the nerd majority maybe it works.

[spleen1015]

I'd argue strongly that she is a sex symbol for a small audience, of which the voters are all (mostly?) members, so it's a good pick in my eyes.

Depends on how you vote. She is not a well renowned sex symbol. Just being an FOFC sex symbol probably wins you last place in my eyes.

[KWhit]

I'm surprised that anyone on FOFC hasn't heard of her to be honest. There was a period of a month or so where she was all over this place.

I've seen that picture of her 100 times, but don't know her name or anything else about her.

[wade moore]

Ok, so for the nerd majority maybe it works.

That was my logic in this fwiw.

[BrianD]

Depends on how you vote. She is not a well renowned sex symbol. Just being an FOFC sex symbol probably wins you last place in my eyes.

She is more than just a FOFC sex symbol. She definitely made the rounds on the Internet message boards, and there was even rumor of a possible Nike sponsorship due mostly to the attention from the Internet message boards. She apparently wanted nothing to do with that kind of attention, but she got it anyway. It is a risky pick, but it is at the very least legitimate.

[lordscarlet]

Fail for Wade. NO PM or IM that it was my go. ;)

[lordscarlet]

And, btw... I also was a "we need people" entry and am doomed to failure. I don't even have a round 2 selection that I think is a clear cut excellent choice. Give me a few minutes and I will put one up.

[lordscarlet]

Another uncertain pick. I don't want to be among the people picking tennis stars, and I was very close to picking a dude here, so I wanted to grab a quality non-tennis playing, non-dude athlete.

If you asked everyone on the board "what name from the last 20 years do you think of when you think female sex symbol" this is the clear cut winner right? It was my 1.2 and I'm shocked she's still available.

[lordscarlet]

5. Appeals to Younger Men, 2.9 - Angelina Jolie

If you asked everyone on the board "what name from the last 20 years do you think of when you think female sex symbol" this is the clear cut winner right? It was my 1.2 and I'm shocked she's still available.

Damnit I had hoped she would float down to 3.3. Seeing as how the draft was going, I thought she would continue to be neglected.

10. Fictional (Theatrical) 2.10Mrs. Robinson The Graduate

Radii is back up

[lordscarlet]

..however this demonstrates how poor this category is. I think she is very appealing to older men, and the "younger men" depends on where you draw the line. I think men 16-25 or so probably have their eyes on other celebrity women.

[Radii]

1. Celebrity Singer

perhaps there might be two names that would be selected if you asked who the top male sex symbol of the last 20 years is... but I think I'm picking the right one, and this was my #3 choice that I PM'd to St.cronin.

[Subby]

I agree and I think she might be slightly out of place in that category(probably you could argue the same for Pitt) but i thin kthey are both such strong choices that I am more than wiling to take them and fill the categories and see what happens. The alternative of taking Lara Croft seemed like it would be a screwup of un-"Imagine"-able proportions. ;)

Finally.

[lordscarlet]

Well, I screwed up with the Angelina Jolie gamble. Hopefully I can pick better from this point on. Having said that, I was very unsure of which of my picks to go for. My next pick is playing a little out of position, but I was sure someone might take him in another category before the decades that will pass before my next pick. However, it is an undeniable fact, as evidenced by his sworn vow of matrimony.

Interesting choice. I expected him to top the list of appealing to younger women. I guess he works here too.

[cuervo72]

Somehow, I don't think he'd be very high on my mom's list.

[Lathum]

I guess, but wouldn't he have been available at 10.8?

probably, but it is easy to second guess.

I have a feeling if you took everyones stable at the end it would be very hard to determine who was picked where except for some obvious choices such as Monroe number one overall, oh wait..

[lordscarlet]

I guess, but wouldn't he have been available at 10.8?

I doubt it, but that's the gamble you take. :)

I also think (hope) most of my picks will be available in the 10th round. Of course, that may not be a good thing. :D

[Lathum]

Somehow, I don't think he'd be very high on my mom's list.

My mom would fuck the shit out of Ashton Kutcher.

[Lathum]

I was hoping to get my pick in befoe I left for class but I should be back on in less then an hour.

Why does that take others out?

[Dr. Sak]

Some people in this draft think too much.

[Izulde]

Why does that take others out?

Because for the fictional characters, that also knocks out any actors/actresses who played that role.

[Maple Leafs]

Jennie Finch is one of those people that we all agree is really sexy because ESPN told us so, and nobody bothered to actually look at her.

Oh, and also she's usually surrounded by softball players.

[cuervo72]

Right, and I assume you were thinking Johnny Depp here.

[Izulde]

Right, and I assume you were thinking Johnny Depp here.

Yep!

[broken] dola: just as Bond took out Connery, Brosnan, Moore, Lazenby, Peter Sellers...

[lordscarlet]

Jennie Finch is one of those people that we all agree is really sexy because ESPN told us so, and nobody bothered to actually look at her.

I think of the available female athletes she's a very good selection. I don't want to be part of a debate over who the hottest tennis player is or whether picking an underage high school athlete is creepy. ;) I also don't want to be docked points for picking a man when I didn't have to. Female athletes, outside of tennis players, are generally a different body type than most celebrities.

[KWhit]

Because for the fictional characters, that also knocks out any actors/actresses who played that role.

Well that's an odd rule. You should be voting on the character, not the actor playing the role.

If the category is fictional character, and the character itself has a high sex appeal then it should be fair game - Lara Croft, for example (video game version) was the poster-child for sex in the video game industry and shouldn't be disallowed just because the hottest person alive played her in a movie.

This could've cost you the contest. You mis-slotted her and should've put her at "Appeals to Younger Women" and picked another chick for the men.

Yeah, I wasn't really directing that at you, just stating an opinion cause I'm bored.

[MJ4H]

Just tuned in and I'm amazed that the person I would pick #1 overall is still around. I'm pretty sure she's been alluded to a couple of times above, but still available as of now. Crazy draft. I think some people don't know what sex symbol even means???

[st.cronin]

(btw, I believe this takes out Errol Flynn and Johnny Depp)

According to my research, this is incorrect.

Nevermind. St.C. rendered my original post moot, I think.

I would add that there are a number of picks that are making me ask "who the hell is that," which surprises me.

[RendeR]

According to my research, this is incorrect.



Both Flynn and Depp have portrayed Don Juan in their careers (IMDB)

[lordscarlet]

It's been awhile but I thought it was left up in the air still at the end whether he was or was not. Not too big a deal though.

It depends. If the question is, "Did Johnny Depp ever play Don Juan in a movie?" then st.cronin should definitely rule on it. If the question is, "Does Angelina Jolie actually appeal to older men?" then it should be left up to the voters.

I believe wade moore is up. Unfortunately I do not have picks from him. Hopefully he won't be too long, but if anybody has NOT sent me picks, please do so. You may send me as many as you like.

I called him. He said there was some unexpected drama that occurred between when he left work and when he got home and he will get online ASAP.
