Divisions and Precisions

I have to relate a

I have to relate a conversation I overheard at the theatre last night that made me chuckle. Sitting next to me were two geek couples who got into an involved discussion as soon as the credits started to roll. In fact, the first words out of one of the women's mouth was "A YEAR?" So anyway, the same woman related how she and her mother used to use two 10 point scales to judge men's appeal, one for handsomeness, and the other for sexiness.

Her: So, Dean Cain [the guy who played Superman on "Lois and Clark"] is about a 10 on handsome, but only a 5 on sexy.
Her SO: Okay...
Her: A young Jack Nicholson, on the other hand, was about a 4 for handsome, but an 8 for sexy.
The woman next to her went, "Ugh." I agreed.
Her: Now, Aragorn... he's only about a 5 for handsome, but he's like a 15 for sexy.
Her SO: Okay, so I should grow a scruffy beard, then?
Her: No, it wouldn't work on you.

I gotta disagree with the 5, but I'll go with the 15. The look on his face when he leaves Frodo at the end to go fight orcs. That's all I'm sayin'. At last someone to knock Ewan McGregor out of my fangrrl brain -- at least until I buy Moulin Rouge.

This journal will stop being about LOTR eventually, I promise.
