I have no idea why you wouldn't be able to move picks at will. We did for our basketball teams, and all OTB drafts work that way.

It's not like it's judged, the only thing that rule can do is potentially prevent us from getting the 10 picks we want most.

I, personally, like the flexibility of being able to change a hottie's category, but commitment is fine with me.

Slam- I think that is a fine rule for this draft. I wanted to keep it open for the summer fun one, but it's totally unnecessary here... although I guess we should decide if Scarlet is GND or curvy since Fats lol'd.

Swedd, it's all good. I figured as much.

This is way harder than I thought. There are tons of hot women out there and it's just impossible to figure out where to start. You can go ahead and call my "Squad" Unconventional Wisdom. I'm going to try my hardest and stay away from the easy picks and take some people who aren't so famous.


With that. I'll start things off with a bang. The semi-popular television show "Mythbusters" happens to have one of the sexiest nerds out there.

That's right. she even has her own de-motivational poster. There are a ton of nerds watching her show right now, and myths are the only things being busted.....

As for the category thing.... I really don't care to look at this as a competition. I'd much rather look at this as a celebration of sexy.

Good pick, definite nerd. To elaborate on the categories, to me, this isn't a winnable or losable draft. It's one where at the end, we'll all know about more hotties we might not have known of before 8/26/09 and it defines us as individuals, at least on who we're attracted to.

Tell me about it.

What kind of schedule did you think I was talking about? :wink:


And Walt, that's exactly what I'm going for. We all know some undeniable hotties. Let's try and expand our scope at take some people you wouldn't normally think about.

This is very, very tough...and after much deliberation and some last minute strategery (also, bump this 'there are no winners'...there totally are, even if it is just knowing in your mind which drafters harem you would prefer) the "Lurking Wankers" select with the third pick:

Monica Bellucci...44 year old curvy Italian mother.

And just so you know that the behind is bellissimo too...

it must be done.... Jessica Alba.

she will be put in my "skinny" category. while not a toothpick, she has come under scrutiny for being too skinny, at times. she was curvy back in the early days of "Idle Hands" (damn she was hot in that movie), but she kept getting skinnier and skinnier. hopefully she can shed her skinny ways and get back to the curvy days.

under 20 cat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> over 40 cat. i'm not even wasting time thinking about those dried up cougars. however, there is only one cougar for me... she is 46 and i bet she is still super cute. i'll hang on to that one for a few rounds. i gotta make sure i get the #1 girl on my list. alba was #2 but i knew she would go early.

:lol: same thing happened to me a few times. I was actually getting a little scared about finding one because they were all a few months too young.



Those cougar references make me think of Ricky Bobby
