It’s the time of the year for the best ofs and voting for your favorite whatever, whoever, and wachamacallits from the past twelve months. I just voted for my favorite athletic shoe store which makes me think, if something exists, there might be a pole to measure it's place of favor with humankind. Anyway, I thought I'd list some sweet things for you to choose from.
Since there have been some of the very best pieces of eye candy on the Super Blog, this "best of" pole will ask you to choose from the famous guys mentioned in my blogs. I would have used the delicious men from other people's blogs, as there were several who would have qualified very nicely, but should the other authors want to reuse their blog guys for a year end thingy, I didn’t want to use them and spoil anything. Well, I wanted to use them...never mind. I just didn't want to bring them up.
Bring them up... Hmmm...
Anyway, the candy is in no particular order. Daniel Craig--James Bond, what more is there to say. Ryan Reynolds who makes health and fitness a lifestyle, not just a movie job. Harrison Ford who has been throbbing our hearts for decades. Jason Mammoa, Conan the Barbarian now, but who intrigued me first on Stargate Atlantis.
This said, I have to toss out a general thank you to all the men who sweat, swear, or whatever it takes at the gym to look so good for all of us to admire. This group of hardworking men includes my hubby who is out, as you read this, preparing to compete or is actually competing for a spot as a fencing Geezer Jock.
Sooo pick o
ne of these famous guys and then tell what you would want to do with him if he showed up at your front door.I know some of you are shy, or for one reason or another, wouldn't want to choose any of these guys. I have added a chocolate option for you to choose and you can tell us to whom you would give this chocolate if you had to give it away. If you want neither men or chocolate, I'm sorry, I can't help you. Big grin. If you want to tell us what you 'd rather have, we'll enjoy hearing.
Wishing everyone happy holidays and a glorious new year--heaven knows we could all use some more sweet stuff in our lives these days.

Call me crazy, but I don’t like celebrities – I mean, I have never had any fangirl fantasies about any of them! Part of this comes from the fact I grew up in the entertainment industry, and most of the guys all the women went crazy for and thought were really nice guys were actually horrid behind the scenes.
One celebrity I worked with was Hugh Jackman – and he’s a VERY nice person, but I’ve never had a fangirl moment about him ever! He’s just another one of the guys.
I’ve not ever heard of the last guy here, and Ryan Reynolds is a name I've heard but I don’t know anything he’s done; of the other two I couldn’t pick. Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever (everyone loves Sean Connery, but he wore a hairpiece and told the media women deserved to be beaten by their husbands to “keep them in line”, so he’s out!). Harrison Ford has never done much for me as a heartthrob, but he’s so much fun in most of the movies he does.
Hmm, both men and chocolate are so yummy
I might be in the same boat as Sonya. I like the fantasy of the characters, but I'm thinking the actual actors wouldn't float that boat. For example, I love Russell Crowe in The Gladiator - it's probably one of my favorite movies. Love his honor and general badassness in that film, but in real life? Meh.
Honestly, I'm pretty much so in love with my husband and he's so darn good-looking to me, plus very fit and honorable, that I don't really get much out of the guys everyone drools over. I usually just go along with a "yeah, he's hot" when inside I'm thinking, "but not as good as what I got." Yeah, yeah. I'm a schmuck.
And I'm not a huge chocolate fan either. I'd rather have a donut. LOL. Guess Liz is weird.
I agree with Rogenna.. Men and chocolate go good together and I am addicted to both...lol
LOL! So far it’s a 50/50 split.
Kathleen O and Rogenna, to be truthful, I’m with you. Men and chocolate! I can now say I’ve been married for over half my life. I find when I look at other men, I don’t even bother to compare them to my hubby because they wouldn’t burn very brightly next to that candle power. But look I do because it’s so pleasant. The current chocolate in my house is organic, dark chocolate covered almonds—one of my favorites. If only I’d admire chocolate from a distance…
Sonya and Liz, Celebrities? Yeah, I suspect the camera, while it puts on the ten pounds, also plumps up the ego in some people and perhaps magnifies the faults in the personality. I truly haven’t settled on a favorite as there is always a new face and a new bod to admire. And from this distance, they are so low in calories…
I like men and chocolate. I will take Harrison Ford with or without choclate.
You're really going to make me choose between Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig? You forgot Kevin Costner.
Of course, it's not the actors themselves, but the characters they play. I loved Daniel Craig as the new Bond. He was so different than all the others, not as pretty. And those blue eyes (reminds me of my husband). My favoirite was the scene in the shower after he killed the bad guys and he turned up the hot water. Steamy.
As for chocolate, I like dark. I make these chocolate truffles for Christmas that are pretty yummy.
I love dark chocolate...with my red wine. ;-)
And I enjoy watching these hunky men on the screen but I doubt I'd find them that wonderful in person. They're human--and flawed. I'll keep the hunky guy I've been married to for 37 years because I know and can handle his flaws (as he knows and can handle mine).

Men and chocolate go well together. These guys are hot!
My son and his buddy had a sleepover on Saturday. They asked me to cut the sleeves off their t-shirts because they have such big "guns" that t-shirt sleeves are confining. They also asked me to make the cutting ragged so it looked like they "burst" out of the sleeves naturally. I did this, being very careful not to nick their toothpick arms in the process.
Now I'm examining Mary's offerings in a scientific way and noticed they all seem to have an issue with sleeves as well.
Mr. Reynolds--2 sleeves, but smashed up his arms with great haste and vigor. Willing to play a domesticated man, but the macho is lurking close under the surface.
Mr. Ford--1 sleeve, 1 burst sleeve. Torn between civilized and wild?
Mr. Momoa--2 burst sleeves. OMG.
Mr. Craig--Sleeves need not apply.
I've collected my data. Now I will need to distill it further through much observation and ... um ... analysis.
"Oh, Mr. Reynolds? I have a question about your arms...I mean...sleeves."
P.S. I will have my chocolate while I work. Science is very tiring.
Chocolate and Daniel Craig - two things I'd like to find under by Christmas Tree this year. Daniel and I could enjoy that chocolate together.
Thanks for the eye candy, Mary! I don't know if celebrities are nice in person or not. Some probably are. That's not the point. This is a fantasy! And in a fantasy the guy is not only hot, he's a paragon of all virtues, manly and otherwise. I have a hard time choosing just one chocolate out of a box. It's equally hard choosing between all these gorgeous guys. But I think I'm most intrigued by that glint in Jason Momoa's eye.
Tammy, good old HF has always made me drool. Interesting if one measured these guys for the amount of drool they have generated, the older guys would win hands down.
Kristina, Kevin Costner. I think I’ll have to use him in the future. I love Waterworld. I’m just imagining Kevin and your chocolate truffles. Hmmm. Under my tree please!
Deb, I think I try never to think about the real people beneath the faces and bods. I’m with you when it comes to sticking by the one with which I have a flaw understanding.
Virginia, delightfully hot! As long as we can still notice the good stuff, I think we’re doing just fine in life.
Ellen, LOL. What a great afternoon pick me up you have given me. I am now going to go study these guys again and see if your research is accurate—which, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the veracity of your study and exploration. Got chocolate will stare.
Anne, great choices, of course. Perhaps, these people should do a public service by volunteering to show up at our houses and—I don’t know—if we’re married, do our dishes, clean our toilets. I could watch a hot guy do that, and I could invite my friends to come and watch. These are not things my hubby would object to. If there are no spouses involved…
Joan, you are so right. It’s all about the fantasy. Jason glints a lot in Stargate Atlantis and is delightfully virtuous and strong. And about choosing one chocolate from the box.
I like to look but I really don't have too many fantasies beyond that. I'm liking all of them. I hate having to pick just one of anything so tend to buy chocolates that are all one kind with the faint hope that just one will do.
Daniel Craig can read me a bedtime story in his sexy British accent while I eat chocolate!
Marcie - too lazy to log into Blogger again.
If one of these guys showed up at my door, I'd put him to work cleaning my house. That's how far behind I am!
I love chocolate and beer. Well, actually I like beer so dark it tastes like chocolate.
Thanks for the guys, Mary! They really brightened my day.
I'll take the chocolate. I'm perfectly fine with my own guy and have never fantacized / wanted / lusted after any celebrities or other good looking guys. In fact, never could figure out what the attraction was to these guys. Give me my beta guy with his little pot belly and normal build and I'm happy.
“…the faint hope that just one will do.” Very funny, Kaelee. Isn’t that always how it is!
Marcie, bedtime story. Good idea. Now that you mention it, it might be a fun way to spend an evening. When the college student goes away for the second semester this year…
Jeannie, I once saw on a sitcom the wife came home to find the husband vacuuming and she told him he never looked so sexy as he did that minute. The celebrities could clean or bring their cleaning team to do it for them. Either way would work for me.
Snookie, you help make the world go around! Imagine if none of us was happy with our “normal” guy. Mine just got home from Kansas City. Was very glad to see him.
Men & Chocolates make me smile!!
Daniel Craig does look hot in those blue short shorts. I can't wait for the new Bond movie.
I was waffling between Ryan Reynolds, who is pretty luscious, and Harrison Ford, but I think I'm going to have to go with Harrison. I just love, in particular, his Indiana Jones persona. I don't know whether I like the real man as much as his characters, but I love the Indiana Jones character. So, Harrison it is, in Indy mode, and who knows what I might come up with to do? Whatever it is, it wouldn't involve snakes, though.
And, yes, please, to the chocolate as well!
Marybelle, I hope you get to smile every day, many times.
Jane, Bond. What an empire. I have liked them all, but they certainly chose well with this one. Waiting for another movie also.
JV, Harrison Ford is delightfully old school in his natural good looks and his way of portraying characters. Indiana Jones is my fav Ford also.
Mary, Daniel Craig for sure. But since I'm a pragmatist I'll ask for what I actually can get - chocolates.
