Okay, ladies, here's a little reader-participation game I'm going to 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 use my old friend google.)
1. Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Thomas LeFroy
2. George Clooney, George Bush, George MacDonald
3. Matthew Mcconaughey, Matt Damon, Matthew who wrote the Gospel of Matthew

Hmmm...I'll have to think about this and come back and "play" later. So many different criteria to judge on. I just looked up George McDonald and...well, if you are going on looks alone, he is in trouble! ;)
wow i guess i'm take the jump and be first. after all this is just for fun!
1.lefroy-marry, after all i am a loyality fanatic! plus i love anything french.
hanks-date, i especially love the cast away look, a real rugged man who can cook his own dinner and survive anything.
cruise-dump, let's just say too short, too strange, too too...toot aloo.
2.well, you have this in the right order.
clooney-marry, just because i wouldn't mind waking up and seeing that face and hair every morning.
bush-date, it would be fun to fly airforce one and meet some heads of state all over the world-globetrotter sytle!
macdonald-dump, don't know him.
3.this was a toss-up
no marrying this time
mcconaughey & matthew - date, this was a hard choice but if i dated them both i could decide. let's see a 20th century hunk or a guy who probably smelled like fish a great deal of the time.
damon-dump-couldn't say i would like to look at him and i certainly wouldn't want to be killed just cause i was with him.
well this was fun and silly!i highly recommend it!
Here it goes, but I'll warn you mine isn't that different from marmee's.
1. Cruise- dump...he's just weird these days
Hanks- date...he's funny and can also be serious, however, I don't think we would agree on a lot of other things.
LeFroy- marry...I figure with the name "Jane" I should have an in.
2. Clooney- date and would need to see where it goes from there :)
Bush- same as Clooney, he is a fellow Texan and it would be cool to live in a big white house.
MacDonald- dump, call me shallow, but I can't get the picture on Wikipedia out of my head...I don't even care that he inspired C.S. Lewis
3. Mcconaughey- date and see what happens...what can I say, he's pretty.
Damon- dump, never been a fan
Matthew- date and maybe marry...we don't know a lot about the guy, a former tax collector (if you go with the fact that he and Levi were one in the same) and original disciple, probably traveled a lot and hung out with a 12 other guys a lot.
Anyone else playing?
My turn...
1. Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Thomas Lefroy
MARRY: Lefroy (who isn't French, by the way, but Irish). This man is what movies are made of--literally!
DATE: Hanks. He'd make me laugh, and if we don't laugh we'll all go insane. :o)
DUMP: Cruise, but only after he takes me on an around-the-world adventure complete with motorcycles, airplanes, and diamond necklaces. I'd pretend he's Ethan Hunt. No kissing or couch-jumping allowed.
My turn again...
2. George Clooney, George Bush, George MacDonald
MARRY: MacDonald...come on...minister, poet, author, SCOTTISH, inspired Lewis...what's not to like? Oh yah, his looks. Alas. I figure if I lived back then and wasn't showering either, I wouldn't be much to look at. Besides, I could always close my eyes and have him read to me. :o)
DATE: Bush. POTUS. Two words: power. trip. Of course, the death threats and world-wide hate would be a bother, but I'd get to meet some really cool people and see some really cool places. And then there's the whole leader of the free world thing.
DUMP: Clooney, Clooney, Clooney. Not even close. His acting annoys me; his womanizing repels me; and his politics...don't even get me started. And I happen to not find him that attractive. Hmm...maybe I'm more of a MacDonald kind of girl? :o)
Still my turn...
3. Matthew Mcconaughey, Matt Damon, Matthew who wrote the Gospel of Matthew
MARRY: Matthew the Gospel Dude...I'd get to hang out with some really awesome people, most especially Jesus. Of course, I'd also have to deal with the whole Jews-hate-Tax Collectors thing from my parents no doubt.
DATE: Matt Damon. Matt Damon. Matt (I am Jason Bourne) Damon.
DUMP: 3. Mcconaughey. He's one of those guys who has a nice physique (from the neck down), but he's a tad too keen on showing it off all the time (see Matt Damon's impersonation of him on youtube for a laugh). Not crazy about his exagerrated drawl, which makes him sound drunk or stoned. And then there's that habit he has of actually BEING drunk or stoned. The long string of girlfriends would probably be a deal breaker for me too.
Okay, my turn's up. YOUR TURN!!!
MARMEE: Thanks for playing. Yes! Airforce One! Totally! And that was hilarious about Matt smelling like fish!
MJM: Funny about "Jane"! And I almost laughed out loud at your Wikipedia comment! (Thanks for playing!)
1. Marry - Tom Hanks. He is down to earth, loyal, has had an enduring marriage to the same woman. Continues to bring home the bacon even though he's not the heartthrob type. Could manage to survive even if we were the last 2 people alive on an island!
Date - Tom Cruise. He is short (like me), not bad to look at (even though conceited), knows how to have a fun time, famous, rich, okay for a one night stand.
Dump - Thomas LeFroy. He is the least favorite of the three and he is way old fashioned!
2. Marry - George Bush. Leader of the free world, hello! Live in a maintenance free gnormous house, with amazing privileges! He is also a believer and proclaimer of faith in Jesus Christ. Brave, courageous, durable, educated, and has a good sense of humor! A patriot!
Date - George Clooney! If only! Gorgeous eyes, smile, physique! Has an Italian villa! Loves partying! Wouldn't remember my name the next day!
Dump - George McDonald. Don't know him, don't care!
3. Marry - Matt Damon. Yeah, that's right, not Mcconaughey! He (Damon that is) is aging well (better looking now than ever), has a one-woman attitude (good marriage), not a publicity hound, involved in many philanthropic activities, has a great career so far, not too tall either.
Date - Matthew. Disciple of my Lord Jesus, been there & seen it all, could share some great stories, he wouldn't want an ongoing relationship anyway!
Dump - yes, my man Matt Mcconaughey! Just because of the group he was put in, could not put him first. He's fickle, vain, a so so actor, loves to show off too much. Even though he is adorable, cute, fabulous bod, and easy on the eyes! I love his movies, but probably not his personality.
Dreamlady: Thanks for playing! I was hoping we'd hear from you after you were able to rest!! Your comments made me laugh OUT LOUD!!! You are so funny! And your answers were the tipping point for convincing me to do this little game again...stay tuned!!
