By the way, I am still trying to erase the image of a nice old English woman grabbing her bosom and licking her lips. Is that something most women do in casual conversation about men? Nope, just avoiding it because of the legal issues.

See? The magical powers of the wet shirt. Lizzie, I hear you, but good thing you admit CF is hotter. He, too, is a little more wrinkled now in real life, but as Darcy he will always be timeless. And no, Patrick, we're talking about how you managed the Iditarod. Or did you forget you did that? You weren't . . . lying, were you? Diana, love it! See? The magical powers of the wet shirt.

We can recite every line. All six hours. And my little brother, not being much of a reader, was pulling straight Bs in English until he got to the section on P&P. A pluses and out-debated every girl in the class. The teacher was amazed and told my parents all about it on parent teacher conference night. My dad just gave my mom a dirty look and the teacher goes, "Colin Firth?" True story. So my mom and I are obsessed with that movie. We can recite every line. All six hours.

He may not be as firm and uncreased as Colin Firth, but incredibly sexy none the less. I am still with on on Colin Firth being hotter, though, just saying that Clint's got something going for him as well... Especially if you're closer to his age range.

Lots of practice at humility. *sob* "Oh, I never expected I would win." *sob* It's not a real cry, but I've done it enough that it is believable now. So, are you saying I should go swimming in breeches and a cotton shirt rather than my usual Speedo? How I cry?

I agree that Eight Below was great. Cried like crazy. I don't know how Patrick does it. Annette, thanks for trying to see Mr. Darcy wet. I agree that Eight Below was great. Cried like crazy.
