More Sophie's Choice:

1. Tux or Hoodie?

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting?
6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens?

56 Comments:

Ok, I leave, go do some other stuff, come back to look for a picture for a desktop and I find this. I think I made a noise unknown to humans until this point in time. Especially since my dad turned away from the game (which takes a lot) and looked at me funny.

Maxine and Michelle---thank you soooooo much for sharing those.

Sophie's choice round #3.
1. Ok this one is really hard for me becuase that tux picture is like my favorite ever. But there's something warm and comforting about the hoodie....*bites lip* Hoodie.
2.Fishing, because I know how to fish and could go along
3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breastroke. I get this funny mental image of Aaron acting like a 6 year old and Brendan having to discipline him, like "Aaron, now pay attention...if you do I'll buy you a whole case of beer"
4. Pool workout
5. Brendan dancing because really that is one of the sweetest pictures ever. And who wouldn't like being in his arms?
6. Donovan---gotta love the fro!

By Alexandra, at 1/23/2005 4:20 PM
Ooh, it's so nice to be greeted by nice new Bren pics when I come here!

These Sophie's choice things are fun!
1. Tux or Hoodie? You just had to do this Michelle, didn't you? I don't think I can choose! Tux Brendan is hot, because we don't get to see him dressed up too often. But there's just something about hoodies that makes the wearer look so soft and comfy. Gah, I love both looks.

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? Fishing, because I love fishing too! And the innocent victims get to be thrown back.

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? Ooh, toughie. I'll say Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke. I'd love to see Bren doing the back. Or even better, how about Brendan teaching me breaststroke??

4. Dryland training or pool workout? Dryland training, because I wanna how Brendan works out when he's out of the pool.

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? Dancing. He looks like he could be a good dancer and you gotta love a guy who dances with his mom. I just hope he doesn't get lessons from Aaron! Hee.

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? Uh, I have no idea.

By Janine, at 1/23/2005 4:27 PM
oh.my.goodness.

Seriously my mouth hung open for a good few minutes -- as I took everything in.Im trying to think up words and I cant even put a full sentence together for those pictures.....

Ok must compose myself to answer these questions...

1. Tux or Hoodie?
I know the hoodie is more laid back, but a tux on him is just wonderful. Makes him seem more handsome (if that's even possible) and GQish ;) So def. a tux!

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting?
Hunting -- Only cause I was raised in a hunting family and Ive never fished before :-x But if Pumpkin would like to show me one day -- im game

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke?
Michelle you reallllly gotta stop with the tough questions! Making my mind go nuts! Im not allowed to pick both am I ? ok, Aaron teaching Brendan the backstroke -- its all about the way the hips move with the underwater cam

4. Dryland training or pool workout?
Dryland training -- there is no water blocking any views ;)

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting?
Brendan dancing, cause it would just be a sight to see and hopefully I mean that in a good way

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens?
McNabb

By Kim, at 1/23/2005 4:36 PM
1. Tux or Hoodie? hmm, tux is very nice...very, very nice. but i gotta go with hoodie

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? fishing

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke?
4. Dryland training or pool workout? pool workout, cause i can't stand dryland training haha

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? dancing and acting :-)

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? uhhh, Donovan McNabb

By Cait, at 1/23/2005 4:42 PM
Wow- those are some niiice pictures.

1. HOODIE- quite possibly my favorite piece of clothing ever and you just want to hug him
2. HUNTING- because deer jerky is delicious
3. Brendan teaching Aaron
4. I've never seen dryland Brendan, but I'm sure that'd be nice. DRYLAND because he'd be sweaty and otherwise we never see him sweaty since the water washes it off
5. DANCING- Brendan and Mrs. H, makes me want to hurry have kids so they can turn out so great (but i'm 17 so that won't happen anytime soon)
6. McNABB, i love all quarterbacks

By Anna, at 1/23/2005 4:46 PM

The eagles have soared!! Go Eagles!! Now... Steelers. y'all better throw down, Yo!

By lala, at 1/23/2005 5:10 PM
Well, now that my jaw has been removed from the floor...

1. Tux or Hoodie? He looks very nice in the Tux, but gotta love a guy in a hoodie.
2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? I'm not a big fan on killing animals any way you look at it, but i'll say fishing, hoping he throws the fish back in ;)
3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? ooh toughie... i'll say aaron teaching brendan backstroke, because that backstroke start is an absolute thing of beauty. guh.
4. Dryland training or pool workout? let's go with dryland because i haven't really seen
5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? those skit night pics are hilarious, but dancing with mama hansen is the best. dancing bren it is!
6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? McNabb

and good game eagles! 'sko team!

By afadingvoice, at 1/23/2005 5:28 PM
1. Tux or Hoodie? Tux, but only because he can pull both off and I don't think other people--cough--Aaron--cough*-- can.

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? Fishing. I can't do the hunting thing without flashbacks to being five and my best friend Eric telling me I was eating Bambi... Ever since I've been paranoid of eating other characters (The little mermaid, little bunny foo-foo)... I figure that, if you're fishing, you can tell that's Ariel caught on a hook before you bring her in the boat.

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? Can't Aaron already do breaststroke? I've seen some pictures and it's unnatural... But there's something incredibly gorgeous about a backstroker launching into the water--so, Aaron teaching Brendan.

4. Dryland training or pool workout? Pool...

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? I've never seen him dancing, but if he does it anything like Aaron or the Thorpedo, Brendan acting.

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? McNabb... but only because he's only played for the Eagles, and I like that... What? We here in Seattle are still not over the A-rod thing...

*Okay, Aaron cleans up well but he just can't pull off the suit... He just looks uncomfortable--I sit there thinking 'Dude, lose the tie... maybe that will help.' (Though I really can't talk, I finally have some cute dresses to wear and what do I choose? Jeans and t-shirts.)

But Brendan could pull it off..actually, he can pull off everything. It's good when a man can dress up and dress down and still look comfortable.

That came off like I hate Peirsol. I don't. Really, Aaron, I love you, truly, but dude, say it with me, "dance lessons." And is it just me or is the hair getting a little too "Napoleon Dynamite" for comfort?

By Jaclyn, at 1/23/2005 5:30 PM
Okay .. Here I go again.

1. Hoodie all the way.. smelling of beach and campfire and sandy toes. And slipping your hands into those always warm pockets.

2. Brendan fishing. It is so relaxing.

3. Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke. I wan to see him on his back. And like stated before the starts are beautiful. And so is Brendan.

4. Dry work out..I want to see him get wet, without the pool. And see what kind of land work he enjoys.

5. Brendan Acting. No doubt. He is a funny guy and I just want to crack up at him.. with him. Anybody who will wear a shirt of fug and a head band like that is a guy I want to "play" with.

6. McNab.... hopefully Owens will play the SB

Okay Steelers.. you are down by three...

By lala, at 1/23/2005 5:55 PM
1. Tux or Hoodie? hmm..this is a hard one because Bren can pull it all off, but he just looks so hug-able in the hoodie.

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? Fishing..because you can have long and interesting talks while fishing..unlike hunting when you have to keep quiet.

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? I have to go with Aaron teaching Bren back..like Kristina said..gotta love the beauty of the backstroke start.

4. Dryland training or pool workout? hmm this is tough....but i would have to say pool workout..

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? lets see, I love Bren acting...seems like he has a great sense of humor..which you gotta love! But I'm a sucker for guys who slow dance with their mom!

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens?..while I am glad to hear T.Owens will be back for the SB..I have to go with my man McNabb....what can I say he's one of the best!!

GO EAGLES!!! Sorry that game was just great!

By LongHornLove, at 1/23/2005 6:28 PM
Ok, Michelle. You can't get mad at me this time! I'm answering your questions right away. ;)

1. Tux or Hoodie?
I love a well dressed man in a tuxedo. It's the little things. The cufflinks, the suspenders... I have to say tux.

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting?
Brendan fishing.

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke?
Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke. I love the backstroke...

4. Dryland training or pool workout?
Hmmm, but I think I'll have to go with dryland.

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting?
Brendan dancing... with me. ;)

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens?
McNabb.

By AimsRos, at 1/23/2005 6:46 PM
*SWUD* Oh man..love the new scans.. rawr!!

Thanks Maxine..you rawk!

These Sophie's Choise Questions just keep on getting harder and harder..

1) The Tux is so GQ, but I have a hoodie fetish. I'm going with hoodie. Hoodie is more relaxed and casual and I think Brendan is probably more comfortable in a hoodie.

2) Brendan fishing - I think we'd have a better chance to get him to take us fishing than hunting. I know hunting is a guy bonding thing and they probably don't like girls hanging out..so I say fishing.

3) I'm with lala, Aaron teaching Brendan back..I would pay good money to see that! ;)

4) Brendan in gym shorts or Brendan in jammers/speedos? I have to go with pool training..I love to see him in the water..

5) Brendan dancing, without question. Just too adoreable!

6) Well, I don't really care..but for the sake of the game I say Donavan McNabb because he's an amazing quarterback.

By Stephie Mc, at 1/23/2005 6:50 PM
1. Tux or Hoodie? Can I have both? lol
2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? Fishing...a little less gruesome
3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? Brendan teaching Aaron...I want to watch!
4. Dryland training or pool workout? Pool workout
5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? Dancing...haha I have a thing for guys who dance like fools!
6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? I have no opinion there

By Andrea, at 1/23/2005 7:01 PM
WOW so many things...

The pics.... SWUD

1. Tux or Hoodie?
Tux for the wedding, Hoodie for when we're staying in...

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting?
Brendan doing Archery

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke?
Bren teaching Aaron... just cause.

4. Dryland training or pool workout?
Sweat Brendan... and Showers... dryland

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting?
Dancing (with me)

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens?
Uh?

BTW, I just got back from my tournament!
I came first in my category, 4th in the general non professcional rooster (4 poinsts below the bronze) and it was my best score ever in my entire archery life! (after only sleeping 3 hours)

By Lena, at 1/23/2005 8:06 PM
The Steelers game is too agonizing to watch, so I thought I'd come over here for a while...

Lovely pictures!

1. Tux or Hoodie?
Easy, gotta be the Tux. I'm a sucker for a guy who can wear one, and especially if he's got the tie (real not clipon) undone, the top shirt buttons undone, the cufflinks undone....uh, where am I?

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting?
Neither preferably, but if I have to pick one, then fishing. If Bren is anything like my lawschool friends who hunted, I'd much prefer he'd come back after a day in the wild smelling like dead fish than animal urine.

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke?
heh. Either would be entertaining to watch, but somehow I just see Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke being more productive than Bren teaching Aaron.

4. Dryland training or pool workout?
If it's anything like hockey training, I'm all for dryland training. My roommates and I lived directly across from the ice arena, so we spent many a day sitting in the windowsill watching the boys train on the grass in front.

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting?
Dancing. It appears to be less painful to watch than Aaron's dancing! ;)

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens?
Ben Roethlisberger.
Oh wait, that wasn't the question. Donovan, then. Terrell bugs the crap out of me.

By JHD, at 1/23/2005 8:16 PM
Could this be called a spanking for the Steelers? I thought it was an... exciting game to watch anyway. Spanked. Speaking of spanking...

By lala, at 1/23/2005 8:55 PM
mmf. Those scans are lovely.

and now, on to another round...

1. Tux or Hoodie? I'm normally a hoodie girl, but that picture of Bren in the tux is just wonderful. The tux is very classy, but I think in the end I'm going to have to stick to the hoodie

2. FIshing or Hunting? Since, I've only been hunting once, and I really like to fish, Fishing it is!

3. Bren teaching Aaron, or Aaron teaching Bren? Aaron teaching Bren. There is just something about that backstroke start.

4. Dryland or Pool? Pool! Dryland is nice every once in a while, but the pool is where its at.

5. Dancing or Acting? although the acting looks hilarious, a boy dancing with his mom is just the sweetest thing. dancing.

6. McNabb or TO? McNabb. The man was on fire today, I've got to give him his props

By Sarah, at 1/23/2005 9:09 PM
YAY! New pictures :) Thanks Michelle!

1. Tux or Hoodie? Hoodie..though the tux is so handsome too.
2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? Brendan fishing
3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? Brendan teaching Aaron breaststroke
4. Dryland training or pool workout? Pool workout
5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? Dancing
6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? Eh not much of a football fan, I can't really say :P

By _cesca_, at 1/23/2005 9:20 PM
1. Tux or Hoodie? - Hoodie

2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? - My dad went hunting today, so I'll go with hunting.

3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? - Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke, because I think Brendan would be a more successful IM'er as a breaststroker. Do you guys remember how well Amanda did against Klochkova in Athens?

4. Dryland training or pool workout? - Uh, whatever Brendan wants. He's the expert.

5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? - I'd like to see how bad Brendan is in comparison to Peirsol & Thorpe. We already know they can't dance.

6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? - Hey, what's going on with the no love for T.O.? JHD gets a free pass, but what to do with the rest of you? He made Donovan so much better this year and made him so much more confident in his throwing ability. He made Donovan better, and Donovan and T.O. made the other receivers less bad...err...I mean...better. T.O. is great and he has cool initials.

But, for this week, I'll go with Donovan 'cuz, you know, Super Bowl. I'm sad that Chad Lewis broke his foot though! We need him too. :(

By Verbal, at 1/23/2005 10:02 PM
1. Tux or Hoodie? - Hoodie's are more comfy
2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting? - fishing
3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke? - Bren teaching Aar
4. Dryland training or pool workout? - pool
5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting? - dancing. great pic btw!
6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens? - mcnabb

By crockersmyhero, at 1/23/2005 10:14 PM
1.) TUX he just looks so amazing, plus id be borrowing the hoodie anyway
2.) Hunting there is just something so rugged about knowing hed be able to catch me dinner if he had to, and fish is just nasty
3.) Both
4.)i like both, u need both to be a good swimmer
5.) dancing, its just sooo sweet
6.) McNabb..goooo eagles

By Anonymous, at 1/23/2005 11:00 PM
Can we pause a moment from all this football and silly Sophie's choice game to have a moment of silence for Brendan's Man-thighs. Shh......

Okay. Wow. It was really hard not to squee everytime I saw that picture! I am definately anti-jammer now. For the time being. But I must ask.... My god Boy where are those Longhorns?? And all of you who keep saying that he should save those for the "special" girls who are lucky enough to date him. I could never date him. I am more like pervy Aunt lala! (Well not really related, but I can justify seeing the horns with that.) Anyway I applaud that black and white photo and say Hoo-RAH!! Great composition!

By lala, at 1/23/2005 11:33 PM
*hyperventilating* please...bring...me...a...paper...bag....=D those pictures are absolutely gorgeous! thanks maxine and michelle!

now onto sophie's choice, part 3:

1. Tux or Hoodie: although i love a guy that can clean up nicely, i have to go with the hoodie. what i wouldn't give to wear one of bren's hoodies...
2. Brendan fishing or Brendan hunting: i'm a city gal, and have never been fishing or hunting, but bren, i am open to private lessons... ;D
3. Brendan teaching Aaron Breaststroke or Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke: bren teaching aaron breastroke
4. Dryland training or pool workout: hmmm...i would want to see how bren trains outside of the pool, but i think i will stick with the pool workout
5. Brendan dancing or Brendan acting: there is nothing sweeter than seeing a guy dancing with his lovely mom! can i have the next dance??
6. Donovan McNabb or Terrell Owens: mcnabb...gotta love those quarterbacks!

hope everyone had a lovely weekend! =D erin.

By erin, at 1/23/2005 11:52 PM
good point lala, exactly how low on the hip are those horns...i thought the tattoo I had on my hip was low...
~Angie A

By LongHornLove, at 1/23/2005 11:53 PM
Brendan should sell one of us a picture of the horns tattoo. We could set up an auction and start the bidding. Michelle you can do anything I'm sure that would be easy for you, and enjoyable because you'd have to send it to us!

By Anna, at 1/24/2005 12:03 AM
I didn't think it was possible, but since Lala pointed that out, the picture has gotten about 10 times hotter.

By lizook12, at 1/24/2005 12:38 AM
haha..yea i hadnt clicked that the speedo was pretty low yet still no longhorns...hmmmmmm

a few people have mentioned or insinuated that aaron cant dance. Did you guys see him dance before somewhere? I was just wondering because i was confused...and i didnt know he was a bad dancer

By jenny, at 1/24/2005 1:30 AM
No no... no auction of the longhorns.. I cannot afford them. And I would die if I didn't win. ;) But as we were saying....there is an article there?? I thought it was just pics! Nice pick. Nice thighs. Nice chest... Nice guy, .. just nice!

By lala, at 1/24/2005 2:12 AM
It's not that Aaron's dancing is bad, it's just...unique. He showed off his mad dancing skillz on Access Hollywood at one of the parties after the Olympics, along with Ian. I'm sure the video is online somewhere. It's a must see!

Sorry about that deleted post--my computer is acting up again...Anyway...

Actually, I just spent some time looking for it and I don't think I know of anyone who got it off nbc.com when it was there... and I can't find it there either...

Unique... interesting, whatever you want to call Aaron's dancing, it just reminded me of my senior homecoming dance--but we were trying to look that dumb, just to tick off the popular kids. I'm telling you, there is nothing like throwing your limbs around like a crazy person and not caring--best realization of senior year, ever.

It just shows you that the guy has an endearingly dorky side that we seldom get to see--because, after the initial laughter, you realize it's just endearing. And then you think, "Aww, how adorable. If I danced with him, he'd so step on my feet. But he'd get me punch afterward, I know he would."

But, yeah, it wasn't pretty. Endearing. Yes, that's it. And, after watching it about twenty times, you find yourself laughing with him, as opposed to at him--it could happen to anyone. Unfortunately for Aaron, it happened on a nationally syndicated show.

By Jaclyn, at 1/24/2005 2:45 AM
OK,I got time to post before I head to work. More tough questions from Michelle...
1. Much as I think Brendan look really cuddly in a hoodie,I would def go with the tux. It's something with the elegance and sexyness of a man in a tux.
2. Hm,I think I would say Brendan fishing. Not sure why.
3. Aaron teaching Brendan Backstroke. Cuz then we would get to see Brendan and Aaron together in an event.
4. Dryland training AND pool workout. (Sorry, can't choose)
5. Brendan dancing! Love a guy who can dance.
6. Don't know who they are.

By tinkerbell, at 1/24/2005 2:50 AM
Pssssssst. Aaron, over here! You can dance with me anytime! Though if we're dancing, I'm going to have to go with beer instead of punch. Much easier to avoid spilling out of a bottle. (It's cool, you can bring your bottle of Clos on the dance floor, I won't judge.)

Hey ladies,

Do you enjoy recent pictures? I could have post up earlier, but .......... nevermind, they are here right now :-)

My anwers to Sophie's choice #2
1. Hoodie, its casual, easy to cuddle with him if he is wearing hoodie. I think it suit Bren's personality well.
2. Definately fishing! I have to protect ducks, so no to hunting.
3. Bren teaching Aaron breaststroke. I heard he did race IM in college, so appearly that his backstroke isn't as bad as Aaron's breaststroke.
4. Dryland workout..... because...... you can see his whole body. In water, you only can see his head and half of arms.
5. Bren dancing..... he can expresses his true emotions through dancing.
6. I can't answer this one.... I am from west coast, no clue who Donovon or Trent (?) are.

By Maxine, at 1/24/2005 3:31 AM
"It never hurts to have butterflies. They'll just give you more energy." I really liked that article, and that line was just perfect.

and lala I know what you mean about how low that tattoo is.

By Lena, at 1/24/2005 7:27 AM
morning ladies. I'm not really coherent yet but I thought I 'd check in.
WOOHOO the Eagles won!!!! What a great day yesterday was, its a shame I dont remember more of it. The city was going crazy...everyone so happy. So happy in fact, that most Eagles fans stayed in the bars to watch AND cheer for the Steelers! Probably cuz we're scared to play the Pats...
And I woke up this morning(yes I am at work, arent I a tropper?) and I found an empty bad of cheetos, 2 water bottles, and some text messages that came thru after I had passed out...a few from Bren who's best was "Its about time" so true Bren, so true.

hope everyone had a great weekend - those pics are AWESOME. great cure for a hangover...

By swimphilly78, at 1/24/2005 8:50 AM
Ok, so there was actually something on tv with aaron dancing! awesome! If only we could have seen Pumkin bustin a move. haha I will have to try to find that video online.
congrats to all the Eagles fans out there! Good luck at the Superbowl! The patriots are on fire right now but Philly can pull it out right?...excuse me while i go cry in the corner for my beloved Dallas Cowboys. We will shine again one of these days. Just remember the Cowboys owned the early 90's...haha ok ill stop now. Sorry.

Oh and swimphilly...I want Bren to text message me!!! (but dont we all)

By jenny, at 1/24/2005 9:15 AM
okay...I'm a being blonde here or just REALLY hungover - where is teh link to read the article?

1.Hoodie
2.Hunting
3. B teaching A breast, abso-LUTELY...high grade entertainment there.
4. Pool
5. I'm actually gonna say neither, and go with the Eagles defense here. gotta love Trotter - he just wants to rip someone's head off.

By swimphilly78, at 1/24/2005 9:17 AM
swimphilly-oh my gosh..I LOVE Trotter...he was SO pumped yesterday....he cracked me up..Gotta love him!

The link to the article is actually the title of the post...if you click on YOWZA you can see it.

By LongHornLove, at 1/24/2005 9:50 AM
First of all, I would like to congratulate all of the Eagles fans. I am very happy for you! Looking forward to the game in two weeks! Secondly, I hope all the ladies in the N.E have survived the snow, ice etc. I definitely had a wonderful time attempting to make a snowman on my balcony. It didn't work out very well- not sure if it was cause of the snow or the sangria. En route to a meeting yesterday, I fell into snowbank. My coffee became a coffee slushi:( very smooth on my part...
1. Hoodie.
2. Fishing
3. Brendan teaching Aaron
4. Pool
5. HA. Acting, but I am sure that the dancing was lovely in person.

If y'all are looking for the clip of Aaron dancing, you really need only to go to one place ( AP.org ) for all of your snarking needs.

Dance, baby Aaron, dance!

Oh, I should also add that I can't watch that video all the way through. I turn it off before Aaron and Ian start to dance because I am so horrifically embarassed for them. I just cringe. And can't watch. But I can give dance lessons Aaron, call me!

Oh, right, Sophie's choice:

1. Is that technically a tux? Isn't that a suit? Anyways, hoodie.
2. Ew, can I say neither? No? Okay, fine. Fishing.
3. (KERTHUD) Sorry, my brain just exploded. Aaron could learn some breaststroke ifyouknowwhatimean!
4. POOL workout, of course.
5. Aw. This one's a toughie. I'll go with dancing.
6. Aaron Peirsol. Oh, we're talking about footballers? ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz then.

Oh,Aaron,the fact that you don't stand on the wall like most guys I know makes you way cool in my book. Actually,thinking on the way I dance myself,I would have nooooo room to talk about somebody else's dancing.

Okay,choices,hmmmmmm.....

1. Hoodie - I love hoodies and find myself feeling halfway naked in a regular sweatshirt. Plus they are so comfy,what's not to love. Bren in hoodie even better.

2. Brendan Hunting - Because I don't eat anything that lives in water and I can tear up some deer jerky. Yummy!

3. Aaron teaching Brendan backstroke - The only stroke I'm halfway decent at and I would love to see Bren doing it.

4. Dryland training - What's not to love about a sweaty hot guy lifting weights or running. Now this is only my choice if it involves him shirtless. If not,I vote for pool training. A girl has to have her priorities and all. :p

5. Brendan acting - Goofiness,I love it. I'm a goofball so I respect that trait in others. Plus,he is impersonating my beloved Chad.

6. Donovan McNabb - Because so many people I work with had so little faith in him. Actually,I just want to vote for both because I want Philly to win. Especially because they are the underdogs.

By the way,Yowza for real! The tan,the shoulders,the chin.....it's endless. :D

Hey, we finally got some snow! Not much,though,but it's something. I read in the paper that New York declared snow emergency in the city after 50 cm of snow,and that Boston got 60 cm of snow. You just got all our snow,I think. Guess what,it's my birthday tomorrow! I'm gonna bake a chocolate cake to take with me to work tomorrow,I think. As for my birthday wishes,I think I wish for some snow (it's just not real winter without lots of snow!),and perhaps winning the lottery so I could afford going to the WC. And for Brendan to sing the birthday song for me...

Sorry for posting the same comment twice. The one I wrote first didn't appear,so I wrote it again. And then the first one appeared. So typical.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but weren't those pictures taken before he got the longhorns?

The timing just seems wrong to me for some reason...

hi ladies...more questions....thanks Michelle!

1. Hoodie....while Bren looks great in a tux he looks more like Bren-bear in a hoodie, plus I love that pic of him and Sean, has always been a favorite.

2. Brendan teaching Aaron breaststroke...because I cannot see Aaron giving instructions.

3. Pool workout...I think he may like that better.

4. Dancing...althought he cracks me up in that get up he has on but I remember my nephews wedding and dancing several times with Brendan...he seems to enjoy it and not may guys actually have a good time when they are dancing (although it could be that he was having such a good time because he was dancing with me or maybe it was the song...but I'm going with me)

5. McNabb....but only because TO didnt play yesterday, TO helped the Eagles a ton to get to this point...but McNabb did a good job yesterday.

To Anonymous, the pics Michelle posted were taken after Bren got the longhorn tattoo...I think these were taken after the 2004 NCAA's and I am pretty sure Bren has had that tat for a few years now. BTW, my sister got two swimming mags this past weekend and Brens pic is in each and I also believe he is going to be on the cover of one of them for the February issue but I forget which one....you'll need to ask Mrs H but I think it is swimworld....not sure.
