Sunday Mornings: Hotties with the Hellie

Bo'sun, as you know, is in charge of the ship's cargo, and that includes the Hotties so far press-ganged into our charming little operation. However, Bo'sun admitted earlier this week she has enough Hotties in her cabin to keep an eye on. ("A girl can't hang a bra in my room without getting an eyeful! Seriously, are we incapable of grabbing a change of clothes when we get these guys on the ship? That's it! I'm done! I don't have room; if you want hotties, you're going to have to find your own and put them in your own quarters." And then she muttered something about "Good luck finding a hottie universally liked" and she laughed maniacally. I think she was drinking.)

In any case, she's right. She shouldn't do all the work while the rest of us loaf about on the ship, doing our best American Idol judging as she parades them on the ship. So we're swapping roles this month. She's going to be Simon; and I'm going to find the talent. Don't worry though. I will only be finding hotties this month; next month, it will be Sin, and so forth. A new month, a new group of hotties from a different crew member.

This might be a wonderful experiment, or it might be a revealing of the alarming taste of this ship. We shall soon see, won't we? *maniacal laugh*

All right, I took a brief look at the ship's logs. All able-bodied seamen are required to know how to sew--and generally on ships like these, we use catgut. (Ironically, it's not made from a cat, just FYI.) Catgut is also used to tennis racquets, and this week is the U.S. Open for tennis. These guys are wiley, wirey, and full of energy.

I'm also told they're good at finding the sweet spot.



(I wouldn't mind letting him try at least.)



 

(I still don't believe Bo'sun finds this guy cute. He has a neck.)

 



 

(Terri will not like this one. How much you want to bet she starts screaming, "My eyes! My eyes!")

 



 

This one just amused me.

This week, Judi Fennell will be joining our crew and sharing her books about MER PEOPLE. I personally cannot wait to meet her--she has Jill Barnett author as an endorsement, so I know these books have got to rock! Her first book of the series is called In Over Her Head, and looks hilarious and charming. (I wonder if MER PEOPLE make love like dophins do? Hmm, I'll have to ask Wednesday.)

PS. Ter, you did a great job with the hotties.

Sin said...

Tennis players are too scrawny for me. It looks like I could break them with one flick of my wrist. I have ideas for my month. *manic laughing* I'm having a feeling after my month is up, I will be released from all hotties duties.

Speaking of which, Hellie, did you know the new trend in romance is the Amish romance? *cheeky grin*

Hellie said...

I'll get RIGHT on that...writing up the next Amish Romance: "Love Among the Haystacks"--but mine's practically going to be erotica.

Hellie said...

WHY would you be released from Hottie Duty? *blinking* You didn't find the only Amish Porn Site, did you?

terrio said...

I'm trying to figure out what Amish porn would entail. Sex with the candle lit? A woman letting her hair down? Or maybe the the title "If the buggy's rocking, don't come a knocking"?

Yes, I still say Federer is cute. And you're right, number three is a throw away. LOL! Nadal isn't bad, but he strikes me as conceited and I've always found conceited men unattractive.

I'm looking forward to Judi's visit. Come on, it's Mermen. Think of how this conversation could go! LOL!

Sin said...

I'm looking forward to how Judi's visit is going to go down too. I'm trying to think of a good slogan for a merman. Hm. Maybe if I sleep on it...

hehehe

Sin said...

*grin* No, but now that you said it, now I wanna go looking for one.

Melissa said...

Yay, I'm happy. LOL Very timely hotties. :)

Scrawny? Most, but look at Nadal! Ya gotta see Nadal play. When he gets that that (young!) Elvis lip curl going on...sigh. I have to remind myself he's only like 22 or something! But maybe it's the Latin thing. Always had a thing for Latin guys. :)

Maggie Robinson/Margaret Rowe said...

Serena could kill them all---maybe by shoving a tennis ball down their throats, LOL. I have to say, I'm on the sidelines here. Wouldn't want to make it easy for you, Cap'n.

Quantum said...

Good Grief!

They wouldn't be allowed on court at Wimbledon looking like that.

Did Henman play shirtless in the US open?

I'll bet Sharapova looked stunning though. *grin*

terrio said...

I'm with Maggie, I think Serena would destroy all of them. And since we're talking tennis, did anyone see the teenage powerhouse Melanie Oudin make her impressive run to the quarterfinals? Our own J Perry was that young woman's tutor for a while (in English, not tennis *g*). How about that?!

2nd Chance said...

Hmmmm, I see a tennis net struck across the deck in the future. And a cranky Kraken full a' tennis balls.

Terrio did a fantabo job, we was all just bitchy...as was our right as women. Now, Terrio can bitch at all a' us.

And I cannot wait ta see how individual tastse come inta this!

Bwah ha ha! I gets December, with all those elves and frosty haired guys... Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Hellie said...

Sin, I have no doubt you could find the only Amish Porn site. *LOL*

Melissa, I'm glad I made you happy. This blog was purely for you. I too have a thing for latin guys. *LOL* (But I agree with Terri: he looks cocky as hell, just from photos, so I'm betting it would be all too tempting to ram a tennis ball down his throat. *LOL*)

Maggie: I'm not surprised...but I have to give the whiney excuse of, "Do you know how hard it was to find shirtless tennis players? These were all warm up photos." (It should be a surprise to no one that Nadal had the most shirtless photos.)

Q, these were warm up photos. They actually play clothed, but that's not as fun to look at.

Terri & Maggie: Serena could kill most anyone. On or off the tennis court.

2nd: Yes, I can't wait to see the differing tastes on this ship. *LOL* Just for the amusement fact. I can see it now: "What? HIM? Stop sniffing glue cleaner, you're deranged!"

Melissa said...

Terri, yes I did see Melanie Oudin's run to the quarters. So great! I love watching the US Open and drive everyone (who could care less) nuts. I can't believe Nadal lost his semi-final match. :( I was looking forward to another final with Federer and Nadal.

Hellie, I'm sure it was hard to find those photos. It's not like they're actors posing for the sexy shots. It really did crack me up to see the selection this morning. :)

Terri, I would think it would be enjoyable research finding the hotties, but if the cabin is full...lol...what can you do? Sounds like your strike has nothing to do with the challenge of pleasing everyone, but you decided to lock the door and keep them to yourself. Clever girl. lol
