Celebrity Dad Faceoff
By GlindaFrom Mirriam-Webster:

1: the usually rapid downward movement of a mass of rock, earth, or artificial fill on a slope; also : the mass that moves down
2 a: a great majority of votes for one side b: an overwhelming victory
I’m guessing you already know that I am not referring to definition number 1 when I say that Viggo Mortensen won over Jon Bon Jovi by a landslide. Out of a record 429 votes, Viggo came out on top with ninety-one percent of the vote. That, my friends, is practically an avalanche.
So, who best to challenge the reigning king, with his vast legions of loyal fans?
Why not the king of the waves?

No idea who the other guy is… Viggo wins by default (and some crazy blue eyes!)

Laird, no contest. The dude is FIERCE. And he’s married to an awesome wife, also fierce.
Come on, people! Who’s with me?

I’m with you. And I’ll post some YouTube of a half-naked Laird showering and surfing to boot! Bear with the French voiceover and marvel at the greatest big wave surfer in the world.
Chainsawing and showering begins about 25 seconds in. Sigh.

dgm and rain, unfortunately, not many people are with you!
I can see his attractiveness, but I think Viggo still gets my vote.

Good, more for us!

All else being equal, the l-o-n-g bangs of the Laird, they are the deal-killer. A decent haircut would put him farther ahead in the running…though not enough to beat the Viggo.

Neither. Viggo does nothing for me and that other guy looks too much like my brother.

Oh, I love the shaggy mens. It’s because I was little in the Seventies when everyone had the David Cassidy shag.

Please. Break me. Give me a picture of Viggo and I don’t see anyone else. Really. Especially some French man named Laird. Give me a Norwegian Dane any day of the week. And soon!

I’m not so big on the shaggy mens, but for the Annalucia, all surfers have long hair. It’s in their contracts.
June 13th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Laird isn’t French; he’s an all-American surfer dude from Kawaii.
Viggo is 1/4th Canadian.
Liz, is your brother single?

Only 152 votes. Looks like a squeaker!
June 20th, 2008 at 5:21 am
Laird has proven to be a flyweight again. Bring on a serious challenge for Mr. Mortensen or you will end up with him forever.
Nice thought btw….

306 votes altogether. Although it looks like the last, say 290 were superfluous.
