In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

Federal Objectivity

Michael Blowhard says:

Dear Blowhards --

Who says personal tastes and opinions don't play an important role in governmental rulings and judgements?


Hmm: Who's cuter? Alyson Hannigan or Jennifer Grey?

Best,

Michael

Alyson is cuter.

No contest, it's Alyson. But, to be fair, I've had a massive crush on AH since she played the adorable nerd Willow Rosenberg in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I first realized my love for her in the 1st season episode 'The Pack', where her friend since childhood and unrequited love Xander became possessed by a hyena-spirit and went around sniffing people, eating little pigs alive, and generally acting mean and hyena-y. You have no idea how good she looked in that episode, her hair swept back, framing her oval face and huge dark eyes, her adorable little shift and dark leggings, the superb way she ran when Xander and his fellow hyena-teens pursued her through Sunnydale High, and most of all, when she'd discovered her boy had been possessed by a hyena, (described accurately by Buffy as "pretty much the schmoes of the animal kingdom"), the way she shook her perfect Willow head and said in her perfect Willow voice, "Well, why couldn't he have been possessed by some puppies, or some ducks?"

Yes, much cuter.

Easiest quiz ever.
Alyson by a mile.

The Israelites might want to bring Natalie Portman to the next contest. Or Sasha Cohen!

Alyson Hannigan. I love Buffy! I loved her cuteness on that show; her look was consistently full of knowledgable wisdom.
