Okay, ladies, here's our little reader-participation game we call "Marry, Date, or Dump." For the following list of names, you have to tell me (by leaving a comment) which man you'd marry, which man you'd date, and which you'd dump. I'll go last.
Don't worry. You won't actually have to follow through on your choices. It's just for fun. (And if you don't know who someone is, you can click on his name and read what Wikepedia has to say.)
1. Will Smith, William the Conqueror, Prince William
2. Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Kurt Warner
3. Samuel Clemens, Prophet Samuel, Sam Houston

1. MARRY - Prince William!!! The gorgeous crowned prince of England? Are you kidding? Marry, marry, marry. Yes, he has a messed up family but who doesn't.
DATE - Will Smith. Definitely a one woman man, and I would never want to come between him and Jada.
DUMP - William The Conquerer. Old fashioned, probably has inferiority complex, and "William the Bastard" was probably earned.
2. MARRY - Kurt Warner (if he were not already). He's a Christian, seems like a nice guy, is also retired so would have plenty of time to spend at home.
DATE - Brett Favre. Are you retired or not? Too wishy washy, but would probably be fun to date for a while.
DUMP - Tom Brady. Yes, he's good looking, but the problem is he knows it. To dump his pregnant girlfriend for a super model? Total d-bag move. Dump, dump, DUMP!
3. MARRY - Samuel Clemens. Just because he probably had a great sense of humor, although I suspect he was kind of arrogant.
DATE - Prophet Samuel. Yes, a Godly man, but probably not the marrying kind. Probably a little TOO spiritual. And as a prophet he could always use his gifts of prophecy to tell you when and why you're wrong.
DUMP - Sam Houston. Politics. Yawn.
Before I play, I must confess that I am exhausted. I have just finished working a 14 hour day. Plus I left early this morning to have my car worked on. All that to say, I am not responsible for punctuation, spelling, typos, or things that sound funny in my head but are not understandable to those who may read this comment.
1. Will Smith, William the Conqueror, Prince William
Marry- Prince William
He's actually just a couple of years younger than me. He is gorgeous and I wouldn't mind being a princess. I know my dad says I am, but this way no one could deny it!
Date- Will Smith
Though his fashion sense was questionable during his "Fresh Prince" days, he would make you laugh and he's talented...acts, sings, dances, etc. Also seems to be fairly well rounded...at least in his movies. One of my faves is "Hitch".
Dump- William the Conquerer
Not the best family life growing up and apparently he stank. He also apparently looked like a pregnant woman...I am just not seeing a lot of great things about this dude. Don't even get me started on what I read about his wife. I don't even care that I am coming off as very shallow right this second.
2. Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Kurt Warner
Marry- Kurt Warner
I honestly didn't know who he was at first, but I was impressed with his bio. The most important thing he has going is that he is a Christian. He also seems to be a stand up guy with great family values.
Date- Brett Favre
I mean he is Brett Favre. And while no one seems to know if he is retired or not, it would be fun to date a NFL quarterback. If nothing else my younger brother would be impressed.
Dump- Tom Brady
"Baby Daddy"...need I say more.
3. Samuel Clemens, Prophet Samuel, Sam Houston
Marry- Sam Houston
I know...I have a soft spot for all things Texas. You know it's true, you can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the girl. Besides half of my immediate family went to Sam Houston State University. Surely all my kids could go there for free if I married him. Maybe get a little tuition reimbursement for my mom, dad, and younger brother? Besides, how cool would it be to drive down I-45 and say, "See that statue? That's my husband!"
Date- Prophet Samuel
I'm struggling with this one. I just don't really see him as the marrying kind either. Could any woman ever be good enough for Hannah's little boy?
Dump- Samuel Clemens
He looks like a combination of Orville Redenbacher and the The Colonel from KFC. And while I know the host of this little game has a thing for poets, writers, etc. I will have to pass. Apparently he wasn't very tolerant of Christians.
Even though I'm not playing this game I do admit to reading the answers... they are very fun.
MJM- you had me rolling ... apparently working long hours adds to your already humorous abilities... of course I lean towards punch drunk humor.
i have to admit this post did not excite me. so thus i had no comments. but at the behest of my niece i'll give my 1 cent worth.
1. marry - prince william - he is young, handsome and going to be king plus i wouldn't mind meeting granny(the queen).
date - none when you have already married the prince what is the point.
dump - smith - i'm afraid those ears might interfere with my beauty sleep
william the conqueror - i agree this man had a big inferiority complex, sorry i'm not into fixing men these days.
2. on these men i am not able to say, don't know them and i'm a hockey kind of girl anyway! foot ball is a little to sissy for me.
3. marry - none
date - i think i could be persuaded to date mr. twain if he would assure me he would tell me his stories on a long journey on a paddlewheeler along the mississippi with a tall glass of sweet lemonade.
dump - prophet sam - we would but heads , i'm sure of it.
s/s/m- when are we going to hear your answers?
Sorry I haven't commented on this one! The others did such a good job with their picks, but here goes:
1. Marry - Will Smith. Has a steady job, at the top of the heap right now, I love movies, a one-woman guy & loves his kids, not bad looking, funny & I also loved 'Hitch'.
Date - Prince William. Get to be introduced to real royalty, sightsee the world, wear fabulous clothes (sure they would provide my wardrobe), and make every other woman in the world jealous! (and you know I go for younger men!)
Dump - William the Conqueror. Ugh!! Ugly!! probably off slaying dragons all the time, or drinking with the boys, or sleeping around - too yuck!
2. Marry - Kurt Warner. Self-promoted into the NFL by way of his superb talents, then got his team to & won a Super Bowl, retired for his family's sake, a devoted husband/father, a committed Christian, good role model for men.
Date - Tom Brady. Mr. blue eyes, so good looking, just a one-night stand, so no commitments, rich, famous, but would stay out of his bed for sure!!
Dump - Brett Favre. Don't know why, but he is kind of broken down, acting whiny right now, needs the spotlight all the time, just not interesting to me!
3. Marry - Prophet Samuel. Okay, so he is like the voice of God! At least, I would always know what to expect in the future. I would be a part of Biblical history in the making. Get to meet kings and heads of state everywhere we go. He would probably be a faithful, loyal husband, but could also have his head in the clouds, so to speak.
Date - Samuel Clemens. He would keep me entertained with great stories, has an interesting literary group of friends, good sense of humor, I played 'Becky' in my school's play of 'Tom Sawyer'. Love the time period too, all those ruffled dresses and I am from the deep south!
Dump - Sam Houston. Sorry, MJM, just don't know enough about the man, and I would despise being involved in politics.
Thanks, everyone, for your comments and willingness to play! (Marmee, thanks for your willingness to be coerced!) I must confess, I usually have my own "picks" in mind when I put the post up, but I wait to read your comments before leaving my own. I'm always pleasantly surprised by how FUNNY you guys are...and how even if we make the same exact picks, your reasons are often different, funnier, and much shorter than mine! :o) I said all that to say that I was a wee bit intimidated this go around...what is left for me to say? I cracked up at everyone's...so let me just requote a bit here and then add my own thoughts.
Natalie: "Yes, he has a messed up family but who doesn't." (PRICELESS!) "'William the Bastard' was probably earned." (ROFL, and two points for knowing your history!) "And as a prophet he could always use his gifts of prophecy to tell you when and why you're wrong." (YES! EXACTLY!)
MJM: "I know my dad says I am, but this way no one could deny it!" (ROFL) "I don't even care that I am coming off as very shallow right this second." (I laugh every time I read this, including when I copied and pasted it just now.) "'Baby Daddy'...need I say more." (Need I say more?!) "Could any woman ever be good enough for Hannah's little boy?" (LOL)
Meems: Feel free to lurk as often as you want...but you may want to at least *try* the game sometime!
Marmee: "date - none when you have already married the prince what is the point." (Hopefully, you will have dated the other guys BEFORE you get married :o) but I totally understand where you're coming from!!) "i agree this man had a big inferiority complex, sorry i'm not into fixing men these days." (ROFL)
Dreamlady: "and you know I go for younger men!" (ROFL) "At least, I would always know what to expect in the future." (This is a good one!) "I played 'Becky' in my school's play of 'Tom Sawyer'." (How cool is THAT!?! Bravo!)
My go:
1. Will Smith, William the Conqueror, Prince William
Marry: Prince William...although I'd probably get into big trouble with the family when they discovered I was really in love with Prince Harry. AND I'm sure I'd quickly tire of never being as good as their Mummy was. So, wait, why am I marrying him again???
Date: William the Conqueror...having dated enough "William the Defeated's" I think I'd like a conqueror for a change! I'd also like to be Queen of England, learn French, and be married to a man who was known for his 'very strong arms." Of course, I wouldn't want to marry him--for all the reasons you guys gave--and because he took by force a country I love.
Dump: Here come the men in black...Sorry, Will, as much as I dig your movies and your music, I can't deal with the whole Scientology thing that you and all your best friends would drag me into.
2. Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Kurt Warner
Marry: Kurt Warner...the man does NOT give up. From grocery clerk to MVP of the NFL and Superbowl champ. Great hubby and dad too (from what I've heard). I actually have a picture of the two of us together...
Date: Brett Favre...I'd wither in the Greenbay cold, but I'd love all that cheese. Plus, the man is an icon for determination, grit, and rugged good looks. He plays football pretty well too.
Dump: Tom Brady...he knows why.
3. Samuel Clemens, Prophet Samuel, Sam Houston
Marry: Samuel Clemens...just because I would LOVE to be in those literary circles. Stinging satire flying, characters that come alive on the page, and a South that I only know from stories.
Date: Sam Houston...I don't mind politics. And I'd rather be involved in them than merely affected by them.
Dump: Prophet. I'm so over prophets. Prophets are SO Old Testament. I'm much more into pastors these days. :o)
s/s/m- Yours are good too...My favorite is, "Prophets are SO Old Testament. I'm much more into pastors these days." LOL and it caught me off guard.
I also got a kick out of dreamlady's, "and you know I go for younger men!"
"Dump: Tom Brady... and he knows why."
LOL Hilarious.
