One of the regular features here at Fear No Weebles is the Hot Dead Guy/Hot Dead Chick profile. Click on “Hot dead guys” and “Hot dead chicks” in the Tag Cloud for biographical blurbs on everyone featured so far.
Here are the results from our first Hot Dead Guy Sweet 16 Tournament. It was a huge success.
A Hot Dead Chick Sweet 16 is in the works. Stay tuned!
Don’t know if you’ve added him yet or if you will, but how about John Paul Jones 1747-1792? Just a suggestion…love your blog. My favorite so far is Robert Cornelius. 😉

Thank you so much! Actually, it’s funny that you should mention JPJ—he’s on my list for the next round. And Mr. Cornelius is my favorite as well. Clearly you have impeccable taste in men. So glad you visited!

Sorry for just replying now, for some reason I didn’t get notified of this comment. Isn’t Yeats a hottie?? Between the looks and the Irish accent, he must have been a chick magnet.

Not a problem. Oh, and I forgot to tell you I nominated you for an award. I’m not sure if you already have it, but it’s the sunshine award. And I forgot to ask if I could add you to my blogroll? (I’ve already been telling my sister-in-law she needs to check out your blog…)

Note to self: Buy cravat, write poetry, and wait for the honeys to line up. No, wait, one has to be dead first. Note to self: Become zombie, buy cravat …

Well really, you have several options—you can do the poetry/cravat thing, that’s always a winner. But you could become a pilot (chicks dig the flyboys), or wear a Victorian-style suit, those seem to be popular too. And you’re in luck if you become a zombie–I’ll be introducing a new feature called “Zombie Hot”, where people can weigh in on which guys and gals they find so hot that they would do them even if they were a zombie.

Could I nominate Beethoven? I had a strange hot dead guy crush on him some years ago. I thought he was rather dashing with his wild, untamable hair and menacing expressions. I swooned over him many a night whilst listening to Moonlight Sonata.

I can see the appeal—he has that Victorian thing going on, which I love. For some reason his little brother John Wilkes seemed to get more love from the ladies. Too bad.

Yes, I think he’s much hotter than John Wilkes.
He’s got the Victorian thing, but also in a slightly unkempt sort of way, which just makes it all the better, in my opinion.

As soon as I saw the heading for this, I thought to myself, “I would totally put Hawthorne on this list.” Lo and behold, you had already recognized his beauty.

To be fair, Yeats WAS pretty dreamy. And he was a poet. Chicks dig the poets, you know. Plus, the Irish accent. It’s all about the accent. Don’t get me wrong, Gary Cooper was STUNNING. But Yeats was a hot piece.

Hi Madame. I seem to have stopped receiving updates from the wordpress-o-matic thing that distributes news about your posts. However, I just thought I’d let you know that George Ridler commented on my McKennon post. His father (George E Ridler) witnessed the rescue of the hot guy from the fields outside Berlin in 1945. Apparently, it was a great story to hear. Sometimes it a gob-smackingly small world, isn’t it?
Glad to see your still kicking, and ranting, and, well, everything else 🙂
Cheers!
