I'm not quite sure about the "Barely legal" category...maybe ok for the guys but for us? Seems dirty to me.

Could we change it to something else? Maybe "Dead men"? Guys that are "no longer with us"? Like Elvis or JFK (not that they would be on my list, but just as an example)

I may have to really dig for an "Asian/Asian Heritage" nomination as well.

Oh, and a question: Does the picture have to be current? Example: a young Brad Pitt vs "creepy-moustache-Angelina-humpin" Brad Pitt? Some guys have not aged well...

What's wrong with the barely legal? I say keep it....equal opportunity basket-robbing.

Sorry. I didn't mean to sound racisit. Asian guys just don't "ring my bell" IYKWIM?

I guess I can deal with the young-uns. I'll just have an extra shower to wash off the dirty feeling

Wait, is that the expression? Robbing the basket?

No, it's "robbing the cradle," isn't it?

....no, that's not it.

Haha, "robbing the cradle" is the right expression. I was confused about robbing the basket.

I say we keep the "barely legal" category. 19/20 is still barely legal... Right? Or is there an upper age limit that I didn't notice?

EDIT: Oops, didn't see the years associated with Barely Legal. Meh. Still fine with me.

I think we'll cut it off at 15, so that leaves room for 2 more. After that it might get too big and take us forever! I like the "RIP" category idea. And pictures from any time are ok. I agree that some guys age a heck of a lot better.

Here is the original Hottie draft if you want to see how it works. http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=57980&highlight=hottie

Anyone object to taking out the trainwreck category to replace with the RIP category? There just isn't as many famous guys who become like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

I'm good with that as well. The first guy that came to mind was Nick Nolte and he's not a babe.

But what about the Sham Wow guy? Or does he not count because he has yet to be convicted?

Didn't want to clog up the draft thread with questions, so I'll put it here. It says in the OP of the draft thread that we each pick 16 men, but there are only 14 categories, are the last two wildcard picks?

Also, for the music category can it be a celebrity that can sing or do they actually have to have an album out or be on the charts?

I didn't even notice that didn't match up. It should be 14 but if you guys want Wildcards, we can add them. I don't know about the music category, we'll take a vote I guess. I don't have a problem with it but maybe someone else does.

Yeah, I vote wildcard picks. I am going to have spill over from a few of my categories. I was going to suggest adding a wildcard pick anyways, two would be even better.

A vote sounds fair. I'll leave it to the mercy of the ladies of CP.
