(please say yes please say yes please say yes)

No.

I'll say whatever turns Alba on. ;-)

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

Ally to thread.

nah. His competence at his job is sexy, I'll admit, but I rather like him being afraid of spiders and such. (although he does kill those and it makes me sad.)

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:27 (twenty years ago)

"would you be turned on if your man worked 8 hours a day in an abattoir?" (!?!?)

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:28 (twenty years ago)

What is his job, teeny? Would competence at any job be sexy, or if he was a chartered surveyor would his competency be somewhat meh for you?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

Yes.

― Laura H. (laurah), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

Cf "Time and Tide".

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

he's a lawyer but that's immaterial, when he was a latin teacher I found that sexy too.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

Not enough to break my back getting shagged on a staircase.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

not even if he was VIGGO MORTENSEN????

― DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

my wife loves the fact that i used to be an F BEE EYE agent tracking down bank robbing surfers.

― bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Quite the double life there. But you gummed up a bit with that Dracula case.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

Yes. Also if he wanted to have sex on a staircase. But NOT if he was Viggo Mortensen.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

What if it was someone sexing you on a staircase while killing Viggo Mortensen?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:17 (twenty years ago)

it would be vigorous and there'd be more tension.

(ken c is on holiday)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

I'd hardcore bone Detective Benson on Law & Order SVU. Does that answer the question? I can't tell.

― Je4nn3 ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

I have 20 bucks if you can make that happen...

Hell, I'd do it for free and sell the TV rights afterwards.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

Even despite being a guy and all.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

I'm disppointed by the paucity of serious responses to this question, which has direct relevance to my current life situation.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

I was being serious.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

Your "reluctant" isn't sufficiently specific. Is the man killing people every day (except "reluctantly")? Or does the man have killing-machine powers which he does not ever employ, due to said reluctance?

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

I enjoy laughing at Alba's misfortune.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

(xp to N/Ally) So was I, actually, although it's not an either-or answer. To elaborate, I 'spose: highly competent + ruthless = fab, but killing = not so much.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

I said paucity, not absence. I thank Laurel and Ally for their valuable input.

Nabisco, let's say never or rarely employs.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

So I guess the prime situation would be that you're walking down the street and some dude comes at you with a machete and your boyfriend suddenly springs into Matrix mode and does some flips and a bunch of bone-crunchy ballet stuff and takes the guy safely down, and then you ask "hey, how did you do that?" and he says "well, I'm actually a killing machine, but I don't really like getting into that stuff, I'm just going immobilize this guy and then we'll go home and I'll rub your feet?"

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

Soooo hot.

Nab, replace the guy w/ machete with "guy who tells you your ass would look good on a plate so he could eat it" and "rub your feet" with pretty much anything else and you've got it.

Although MIND YOU the whole scenario takes second place to MY actually BEING the efficient & ruthless secret death commando.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

You can't have sex with yourself though. Oh, wait.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Jesus, Nick, you can do better than that.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, sorry. It's hard being an efficient killing machine and still have time to be funny.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

And grammatical.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

Seriously, I was walking through the Diamond District the other day and some guy oozed a comment my way from inside a doorway and FOR BLOCKS I fantasized about pinning him to the wall by his throat.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

efficient: yes, reluctant: no

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

eep.

― Confounded (Confounded), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

heh - sounds like the plot for the new film, "Matador".

"...it's not me!"

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 6 October 2005 00:14 (twenty years ago)

(IOW, if it was him - HELLS YEAH)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 6 October 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

what if there was no reluctance?

― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 October 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

Just for the record, the fulfillment of Nabisco's little scenario is about as likely as that of a man's fantasy of dating a lingerie model (and about as desirable, which is to say, not). It's just an idea, something to do with capability, good reactions in a crisis, and a public declaration of the defended party's value, among other things.

But I wouldn't want to try getting that commando's opinion on, say, Being and Time or the Luckmiths.

― Laurel, Thursday, 6 October 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

That's a good way of putting it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 October 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

shoot. i love indie guitar, existentialism and krav maga.
