FMC 3.0

Uh, I had fun, from what I remember. The drive down sucked, but I had a lot to drink to make up for it. The drive back was fairly pleasant. Well, as pleasant as I81 and I66 can be. The weekend can be summed up with the three B’s - Birthday, Basketball, Booze.

Before I left, I got some nifty gifts - a doggie bank from Sydney (which has been quite helpful) and an Albert Einstein Action Figure. I crap you not. I’ll get pictures of it, because it’s pretty priceless.

However, there is something infinitely more important upon us. Not only is it March Madness, it’s also time for this year’s Mueller Tournament. That’s right, the bracket of hotties has returned. I’m a tad dubious of some of these seedings - ScarJo a 13? Katherine Heigl a 16? While Britney Spears is still a 6 (and even on there at all?) It doesn’t seem fair.

To make sure all angles are covered, I’m going to do this two ways - first off of gut instinct with who I know and without looking at the pictures. Then I’ll go through and actually compare. I’ll post both result sets here for you, and invite you all to do so in the comments.

Oh yeah, the link:

(ok, I added this later.)

So I went through as I promised - one on a breeze through gut instinct, and once actually taking time and evaluating pictures. I made a composite of each, and pointed out the absolutely killer decisions that had to be made (especially some of the early ones.)

So here’s the gut version: (this is a thumb. Click for large full size)

Winner:
Keira Knightley

The Final Four:

Scarlett Johansson
Kiera Knightley
Natalie Portman
Rachel McAdams

And the thinking version: (same deal)

Winner:
Keira Knightley

The Final Four:
Catherine Bell
Keira Knightley
Rachel McAdams
Scarlett Johansson

So in the end, not very different. Some of the early battles changed, but the eventual outcome remained the same.

Anyway, I look forward to the other outcomes, cause, well, it’s just fun.
