We’re down to the wire here in the Hot Dead Guy Sweet 16 Tournament… I suspect many will be shocked and/or saddened to learn that Rupert Brooke will not be vying for the title of Hottest Dead Guy. And I’m sad about Yeats, but let’s face it, Gary Cooper is a tough guy to beat.
Here’s how the voting went—PollDaddy is acting up again so you may have to click to see the results. The Cooper/McKennon Throwdown will be taking place shortly.
Fear No Weebles 
Pierce will take this one! He’s my favorite, but I like aviation-type men. :).

WHAT? Yeats is WAAAAAAAAAY hotter than Gary Cooper, at least if you bear in mind that he had a sexy accent and WROTE BEAUTIFUL POETRY. Jesus, what did Cooper do? Make movies? He was probably so covered in makeup that he didn’t even look like himself. I’m going to sulk now.

I’ll mix up the cocktails so you and I can sulk together over them. I love me some Gary Cooper but if he and Yeats were standing there and someone told me, “Choose one, and you can have him,” I’d make a beeline for the Irish poet.

Dang! I had the hots for Rupert Brooke. Now I guess it’s my turn to sulk. I’m going to have to Google the finalists to make sure I get every angle needed to make a decision. This has really gotten tense.

It’s not how I expected it to turn out, that’s for sure. Who knew this would be a nail-biter??

Okay, I’m back. Let me tell you that Pierce McKennon has a Colin Firth quality that I find very attractive — who knew? Though there are limited pictures of him. Gary Cooper is very handsome and manly but I don’t know if he’s “hot”??? hmmm…

I think Gary Cooper is hot, but there are different flavors of hot. Pierce McKennon is a different flavor of hotness. And, he could fly a plane. That confers automatic hotness.

i love Gary Cooper. He was SO beautiful in a certain era of his life. He is a forgotten (or often not thought of) silver screen legend. H O T!!!

It’s true, he doesn’t get the same kind of attention as guys like Cary Grant, even though I think he’s much hotter. You have good taste, bluepearlgirl! 🙂

So, its the lounge lizard up against the man who got things done. Both ends of the spectrum covered 🙂 I’m sorry to see Brooke out of it, but at least McKennon has the aviation angle going for him.
Cheers!
